vim.profile.DeferredPolicyOptionParameter
=========================================
  The `ProfileDeferredPolicyOptionParameter`_ data object contains information about a single deferred parameter for host configuration.
   * The Server verifies deferred parameter data when it calls the
   * `HostProfile`_
   * .
   * `ExecuteHostProfile`_
   * method.
   * The client supplies deferred parameter data for host configuration when it calls the
   * `HostProfileManager`_
   * .
   * `ApplyHostConfig_Task`_
   * method.
   * The vCenter Server stores deferred parameter data in answer files (
   * `AnswerFile`_
   * .
   * `userInput`_
   * ).
