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?

Which vSphere feature creates a copy of a virtual machine that can be stored locally within a
cluster or at another site, and provides the ability to rapidly restore a virtual machine within
