When a vSphere administrator attempts to remediate a host with Update Manager, the host is
unable to enter maintenance mode.
Which condition is likely preventing the host from entering maintenance mode?
A.
A virtual machine on the host has a removable device connected.
B.
A virtual machine on the host is configured to use Fault Tolerance.
C.
A virtual machine is powered off and cannot be migrated to another host.
D.
A virtual machine is configured with a local .vswp file.
Explanation:
A is correct
Update Manager does not remediate hosts on which virtual machines have connected CD/DVD or floppy drives. All removable media drives that are connected to the virtual machines on a host might prevent the host from entering maintenance mode and interrupt remediation

If somebody knows why D is not a correct, please share your thoughts.
I believe vmotion still works with a local .vswp file.
Indeed, thank you.
Update Manager は、CD/DVD ドライブまたはフロッピー ドライブが接続されている仮想マシンが配置されたホストを修正しません。ホストの仮想マシンに取り外し可能なメディア ドライブが接続されていると、ホストがメンテナンス モードに切り替わることができず、修正が中断する場合があります。
