Few notes on patching.

1. No command-line utility can upgrade an older ESX or ESXi host to 5.0.
2. ESXi 5.0 hosts can be patched and upgraded (e.g. ESXi5.1)  with the vCLI command-line esxcli tool.
3. The esxupdate and vihostupdate tools are no longer supported for ESXi 5.0 updates.
4. The vmware-vmupgrade.exe tool should not be used to upgrade VMs anymore.
