API method or PowerCLI .Net code for "import ESXi Image" button inside webclient

Hi

There's a lot of documentation on how to create custom images and export them into ISO, via PowerCLI, only I could not find any way to automate importing the Image into Update Manager.

What I am referring to is this wizard.

I tried using Onyx for vSphere Client and Onyx for vSphere Web Client, but this wizard is not captured by Onyx.

Is it even possible to automate this step? We have around 40 vCenter instances, and I'm not looking forward to clicking around the menus to import the ESXi image?

I'm sure this can be automated The challenge is this requires further testing. Can this same question be re posted on https://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/automationtools/powercli/updatemanager?
