HP SSA CLI utility - Command not found

Hi, I rarely use esxi shell, so I'm sure it's a noob question, sorry :) .

I want to add some disks to my array (DL380 Gen8 - P420i smart array). In the past I managed it through the Array Configuration Utility by rebboting the host. Now I'm aware of the HPSSACLI utility that let me do the job online.
My esxi image is HPE customized (https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=OEM-ESXI55U3B-HPE&productId=353) and from my readings what is needed to run the utility should already be installed. I queried for .VIBs and I got:

~ # esxcli software vib list | grep 'hpssacli\|scsi-hpvsa'
hpssacli 2.40.13.0-5.5.0.1198611 HPE PartnerSupported 2016-05-13
scsi-hpvsa 5.5.0.100-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820 Hewlett-Packard PartnerSupported 2016-05-13

If I go to /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/ and I type hpssacli I get:

/opt/hp/hpssacli/bin # hpssacli
-sh: hpssacli: not found

What am I missing? :) Thank you. Francesco

The utility in VMWare environment requires to be executed with the full path and full command specified, for example:

~ # /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli controller slot=0 array A show

Thank you.
