Salt minion deployments are not using the same version of minion as the Salt master.

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

When using Aria Automation to deploy minions, your users notice that the minion is being installed with a version other than the one matching the Salt master.

Environment

Aria Config 8.14+

SaltStack 3006+

Cause

There may be multiple versions of the installer available under the /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d directory

Resolution

Remove all additional installer files except the version that you want to be deployed. This should match the version of the Salt master to ensure compatibility between the Salt master and minion.
