If nothing is specified, the default value will be selected in the default field of the Param.

If the operator specifies select-vendor then the latest Vendor specific BootEnv / ISO combo will be used according to the Param map vmware/esxi-version-vendor-map. The vendor version requires gohai-inventory to match DMI->System->Manufacturer appropriately.
