An administrator is attempting to use Update Manager to patch a cluster of ESXi 5.x hosts. The administrator needs to stage the patches for a scheduled update after hours. When verifying the hosts after the scheduled upgrade, the administrator determines that one of the hosts was not remediated and patches are not staged. The host is using PXE as its boot method. What condition would cause this behavior?

An administrator is migrating 135 virtual machines from a vSphere Standard Switch to a vSphere Distributed switch. The migration reports an error and only some of the virtual machines are transferred. What is causing the error to occur?

An administrator is considering using NPIV to assign WWNs to virtual machines. Virtual machine portability is a major concern. Why would NPIV be inappropriate for this deployment?

• The organization has the vSphere Enterprise License.
• The network team needs to gather virtual machine network statistics over a long period of time.
