Explanation
esxcli (A) is the current and correct command-line utility for upgrading an ESXi host. It supports commands such as 'esxcli software profile update' to apply upgrade images and 'esxcli software vib update' to install individual packages. esxupdate (B) was used in older ESX 3.x/4.x versions and has been deprecated. vihostupdate (C) was a vCLI-based tool that is also deprecated and replaced by esxcli. esxcfg (D) is a family of legacy configuration utilities (e.g., esxcfg-nics) used for host configuration tasks, not software upgrades.
