An existing vSphere 4 environment will be upgraded to vSphere 5.x. The current implementation utilizes ESXi 4.1 and the new implementation will use ESXi 5.x. In which two ways will the new ESXi 5.x implementation differ from the ESXi 4.1 implementation? (Choose two.)
A. VMware ESXi 5.x provides a host-based firewall.
B. VMware ESXi 5.x can boot from additional local sources such as a USB drive.
C. VMware ESXi 5.x can be managed from a web browser.
D. VMware ESXi 5.x can support virtual machines with larger hard drive configurations.
Correct Answer: BD
Explanation/Reference:
"Host UEFI boot support.vSphere 5.0 supports booting ESXi hosts from the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). With UEFI you can boot systems from hard drives, CD-ROM drives, or USB media. Booting over the network requires the legacy BIOS firmware and is not available with UEFI.”

Booting from USB was possible with ESXi 4.x but I think it wasn’t officially supported.
RDM physical mode can be up to 64 Tb in 5.1 but and only up to 2 Tb on 4.x
