vcenter_lcm_depot

vCenter Lifecycle Manager (LCM) software depots.

Depots are the sources vCenter uses to compose cluster images (vSphere Lifecycle Manager). Terraform’s vsphere_offline_software_depot manages offline (zip-bundle) depots; this client covers both offline and online forms uniformly under /api/esx/settings/depots.

Operations:

• List / get / create / delete a depot config (where the depot lives).

• Trigger / poll a depot sync.

• List the bundle content currently downloaded from a depot.

saltext.vcf.clients.vcenter_lcm_depot.create_offline(opts, file_locator, profile=None, **spec)

Create an offline depot from an uploaded zip.

file_locator points at a content-library item or a vCenter-hosted file path (/storage/updatemgr/...).

saltext.vcf.clients.vcenter_lcm_depot.create_online(opts, location, profile=None, **spec)

Create an online depot pointing at a URL.

saltext.vcf.clients.vcenter_lcm_depot.sync(opts, profile=None)

Trigger a sync across all online/UMDS depots. Returns a task identifier.

saltext.vcf.clients.vcenter_lcm_depot.get_content(opts, profile=None)

Return the union of base-images + add-ons + components currently in the depot. vCenter splits depot content across three sibling endpoints under /api/esx/settings/depot-content; this helper aggregates them into a single dict keyed by content type.
