Issue: Client needed to know whether the installed vmware esxi 4.x/5.x is an hp image or a vmware image.
Resolution: From the ilo or through an ssh session please run
which will list the installed hp vibs and thus you can identify whether it is an hp custom image or is it a vmware image.

While the above method is a little unreliable since it will give the same result for a VMware image if the offline bundle from HP is installed.
You could also check in vCenter for the vCenter>summary>image profile
alternatively you can also check

You could also check in vCenter for the vCenter>summary>image profile
alternatively you can also check
/opt/hp/build/build.xml
another option for esxi 5.x
access the esxi 5.x host via a web browser by using its ip.
look below the vSphere Documentation hyperlink and you should see something like this
"You are running HP Customized Image ESXi 5.x.x version x.xx.xx based on ESXi 5.x.x Vmkernel Release Build xxxxxx"
(where x is a variable) if it is an hp image and if it is not an hp image but a plain vmware image then the "HP Customized Image" will be missing from the above line.
