Research direction
Start by examining the pyvmomi bindings for HostScsiDisk and the vSphere API objects they expose, then compare them with the boot-device attribute reported by esxcli storage core device list. Determine whether an existing API field can identify a boot disk or whether the requested information is unavailable. Done means providing a supported way to make that determination or documenting the limitation.
