salt.states.esxdatacenter¶

Salt states to create and manage VMware vSphere datacenters (datacenters).

codeauthor:: Alexandru Bleotu <alexandru.bleotu@morganstaley.com>

Warning

This module will be deprecated in a future release of Salt. VMware strongly recommends using the VMware Salt extensions instead of the ESX data center module. Because the Salt extensions are newer and actively supported by VMware, they are more compatible with current versions of ESXi and they work well with the latest features in the VMware product line.

Dependencies¶

pyVmomi Python Module

States¶

datacenter_configured¶

Makes sure a datacenter exists and is correctly configured.

If the state is run by an esxdatacenter minion, the name of the datacenter is retrieved from the proxy details, otherwise the datacenter has the same name as the state.

Supported proxies: esxdatacenter

Example:

1. Make sure that a datacenter named target_dc exists on the vCenter, using a esxdatacenter proxy:

Proxy minion configuration (connects passthrough to the vCenter):

proxy:
  proxytype: esxdatacenter
  datacenter: target_dc
  vcenter: vcenter.fake.com
  mechanism: sspi
  domain: fake.com
  principal: host

State configuration:

datacenter_state:
  esxdatacenter.datacenter_configured

salt.states.esxdatacenter.datacenter_configured(name)¶

Makes sure a datacenter exists.

If the state is run by an esxdatacenter minion, the name of the datacenter is retrieved from the proxy details, otherwise the datacenter has the same name as the state.

Supported proxies: esxdatacenter

name:: Datacenter name. Ignored if the proxytype is esxdatacenter.
