Why each option
ESXi kickstart scripts for scripted upgrades can be hosted in several accessible locations that the installer can reach during the boot process.
NFS shares, USB storage devices, and HTTP servers are all supported locations for hosting a kickstart script, referenced via the ks= kernel boot option. The ESXi installer can mount an NFS share, read from an attached USB drive, or retrieve the file over HTTP before proceeding with the scripted upgrade.
TFTP is used to serve PXE boot files such as boot loaders and images, but it is not a supported protocol for hosting a kickstart script file in ESXi scripted installations.
PXE is a network boot delivery mechanism, not a storage location; it describes how a host boots over the network but cannot itself host a kickstart script file.
