HPE Comware on ESXi

Hi, 

I have some HPE Comware FF 5930 and 5500 switches in production and I need to setup a lab environmanet in ESXi and connect that to a few live/physical Cisco switches in order to test some features. Do these HPE swtiches have an OVA that can be downloaded? 

I'm aware of the HP Network Simulator but that doesn't intergrate with ESXi. As far as I know, the Comware VMs can only be imported in VirtualBox. 

Thank you

As far as VMs go you have to reconvert them into ESXi format and make them compatible.

Regarding your Q on FF5930 and 5500 - I don't know.

Those are hardware switches and there are no OVA's or OVF's to simultate them on VMware.  Sorry.
