Description
Hi All,
Is there a way to query the ESXi host for getting all existing vibs available along with it's version.
I do understand, vim.host.TpmSoftwareComponentEventDetails should help. But, Not able to fetch the host object.
Would like to know if there is a way ? Also, please share if there is a alternate way ?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by investigating the vim.host.TpmSoftwareComponentEventDetails reference and how a host object is obtained in pyvmomi. Confirm whether the API exposes the complete VIB list and versions, or identify the supported alternative. Done means documenting a working query path or clearly explaining that it is unavailable.
