Installation

Install into the same Python environment Salt uses.

salt-pip install saltext-vcf

pip install saltext-vcf

Install saltext-vcf:
  pip.installed:
    - name: saltext-vcf

Saltexts are not distributed via the fileserver. Install on every node that needs the modules.

Extras

Base install pulls pyvmomi (SOAP/VMODL) and pywbem (CIM/WBEM).

Extra

Adds

[vcenter]

vmware-vcenter SDK

[sddc]

vmware-vcf SDK

[vks]

saltext-kubernetes + kubernetes for the VKS kubeconfig bridge

 
pip install 'saltext-vcf[vks]'

Verify

salt-call --local sys.list_modules | grep vcf_
salt-call --local sys.list_states  | grep vcf_

Expect ~80 modules and ~27 states. If empty, the install landed in a different Python than Salt’s:

salt-call --local config.get pip_target
salt-call --local sys.doc vcf_vcenter_cluster

Salt version

Targets Salt 3006+. The saltext.vcf.resources subpackage requires salt.utils.resources; on builds without it, __virtual__ returns False and the resources framework integration is unavailable. The flat-pillar path still works.
