VMware Update Manager: The host returns esxupdate error code:7.

I received the following error while patching the very LAST host in the Datacenter.

The host returns esxupdate error code:7. Cannot download VIB. Check the Update Manager log files and esxupdate log files for more details.

I tried the recommendations on the following KB to no avail....  Attempting to Stage the patches produced the same error.

So, I went "Old School" with the the host.  I placed it in Maintenance Mode and proceeded to reboot it.  After the host reconnected, I was able to successfully patch the host.

REBOOT THE SERVER!  (I hate this answer...)
