Trying to use Salt as a Proxmox cloud controller and having issues.

[Andy Bateman]

I want to use salt as a cloud controller for proxmox. I wanted to view storage options before creating a VM from an image. I am able to view images and run a query, but any commands that actually "do" things dont' work.

For instance:

I tried looking at storage options, since I was seeing "KeyError: 'disk'", but even viewing storage doesn't work.

Error: There was an error running the function: The 'proxmox' cloud provider alias, for the 'proxmox' driver, does not define the function 'show_storage'

The error above occurs with various other commands, for instance, "Error: There was an error running the function: The 'proxmox' cloud provider alias, for the 'proxmox' driver, does not define the function 'disk'". 

Is it looking for a "show_storage" or a "disk" command in my cloud profile configuration file?

Here are the contents of my cloud.providers and cloud.profiles .conf files

/etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/proxmox.conf

proxmox:

    provider: proxmox

    image: /volumes/pool2/ISOs/suse-13.2-x86_64.tar.gz

    technology: kvm

    host: 192.168.4.211

    ip_address: 192.168.4.211

    ssh_username: root

    password: supersecret

/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/proxmox.conf

proxmox:

  provider: proxmox

  technology: kvm

  # Set up the location of the salt master

  #

#  minion:

#    master: salt64

  # Set the PROXMOX access credentials (see below)

  #

  user: root@pam

  password: supersecret

  # Set the access URL for your PROXMOX provider

  #

  url: 192.168.4.211

Anybody have any ideas?

Andy,

I'm not sure what's going on here. The proxmox cloud provider was actually contributed by a community member. Would you mind opening an issue on Github and pinging @syphernl on it? He can probably fix this right up, the KeyError in your output will probably not be difficult to fix.

Thanks!
