What does the command 'esxcli software vib list --rebooting-image' display?

VIBs active after a reboot.
VIBs that require a reboot.
VIBs in the boot image.
VIBs that are third-party.

The correct answer is: VIBs active after a reboot.

The command 'esxcli software vib list --rebooting-image' specifically displays VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundles) that are currently part of the boot image and will be active after the next reboot of the ESXi host. This command is crucial for administrators who need to understand which VIBs are set to be included in the next boot cycle, particularly when changes have been made to the system, such as installing new VIBs or modifying existing ones. It's important to have visibility into what will be active following a reboot as this can affect the host’s behavior, compatibility, and performance. The command helps ensure that the necessary VIBs are activated and enables system administrators to manage their environments effectively. In this context, while other options discuss VIBs that may require a reboot or relate to third-party components, they do not directly address the specific functionality of the command in question, which focuses on listing VIBs in the context of the boot image and their status after reboot.
