WebServices API for Installing 3rd Party Software on Host ?

$

Hello,

As a VMware Partner we provide MEM (Multipathing Extension Module) that is installable on the ESXi host. Is there a Java
 Web Services API that we can invoke to initiate this 3rd Party Bundle install ? 

We would need possibly both offline( Where MEM installation VIBS reside locally and not on any datastore of ESXi Host ) 
and online installation mechanisms .

Traditionally we have used esxcli software vib install --depot for installing MEM modules. 


From the documentation I have this but not sure this is the right option or not :
Managed Object - HostPatchManager - InstallHostPatchV2_Task method
Property of
HostConfigManager
See also
HostPatchManagerLocator, HostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec, HostPatchManagerResult, HostPatchManagerStatus
Since
VI API 2.5

Managed Object Description

This managed object is the interface for scanning and patching an ESX server. VMware publishes updates through its 
external website. A patch update is synonymous with a bulletin. An update may contain many individual patch binaries, 
but its installation and uninstallation are atomic.

Thanks!
