EDIT: You can always just download HP’s ready made install ISO for Vpshere 5.
When using the VMWARE iso image on HP Proliant you should install the HP offline bundle for hardware status and event log viewing in the Vsphere client.
Download the files. Check if there are newer versions.

Place host in maintenance mode via the Vsphere Client.
Upload the files to the root folder of the datastore.
My datastore is called DAS600GBRAID10, look up your name and change the path in the commands accordingly.
Run these commands from the Vsphere CLI v5.
esxcli.exe -s 192.168.101.60 -u root software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/DAS600GBRAID10/hp-esxi5.0uX-bundle-1.0-20.zip
esxcli.exe -s 192.168.101.60 -u root software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/DAS600GBRAID10/hp-nmi-esxi5.0-bundle-2.0-11.zip
Change the IP, path and username according to your situation. Password will be prompted for.
If you want to run the command without vCLI then run them on the host in Local Shell or SSH like this:
esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/DAS600GBRAID10/hp-esxi5.0uX-bundle-1.0-20.zip
esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/DAS600GBRAID10/hp-nmi-esxi5.0-bundle-2.0-11.zip
Change path according to your situation.
