Why each option
ESXi scripted installations can source the kickstart script from HTTPS, FTP, or NFS; PXE handles booting but cannot host the script, and VVOLs are unsupported as a script location.
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is used to network-boot the ESXi installer binary itself, but it is not a valid hosting location for the kickstart script file.
HTTPS, FTP, and NFS are all documented valid protocols for hosting the ESXi kickstart configuration script during a scripted installation. These network-accessible locations allow the ESXi installer to retrieve the script after the bootloader has started, giving administrators multiple options for script delivery in varied network environments.
Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) are a VM storage policy abstraction and are not supported as a source location for the ESXi scripted installation kickstart file.
Concept tested: ESXi scripted installation kickstart script valid source locations
