Sometimes when I connect with vSphere client to ESXi, click on the host, Configuration tab, then the Network link, I see the word "standby" displayed next to the vmnics. Any idea why this is happening and what this actually mean? When I click on the Properties for the corresponding vSwitch, there is only one vmnic assigned to the vSwitch.
Please take a look at the failover settings in the vSwitch's properties, to see whether the vmnic is listed under Active or Standby.

Ah thanks! Once I have clicked Move Up to move the vmnic to the Active Adapter group, it no longer displays the "stand by" words.
