The VMware vSAN SDK for Perl is an extension of the VMware vSphere Management SDK. It includes documentation, libraries and code examples needed for developers to rapidly build solutions integrated into vSAN, or for administrators to automate all aspects of install, setup, lifecycle, monitoring, or troubleshooting of vSAN. VMware vSAN management is integrated with vSphere management, so vSAN is configured on vCenter clusters. As such, the vSAN SDK is not an independent SDK, but instead extends the vSphere Management SDK. For example, many vSAN APIs require the user to pass in references to vSphere Cluster Managed Objects obtained through the vSphere Management SDK.
VMware by Broadcom has announced deprecation of VSAN Management SDK for Perl, effective June 17th, 2025. We highly recommend all our customers and partners to migrate from these SDKs to either VCF Python SDK, VCF Java SDK or to generate their own bindings using VCF API Specification. Please refer here for more information.
The VMware vSAN SDK for Perl includes vSphere Management SDK language bindings for Perl, as well as library files and basic sample codes. The samples and libraries explain how the vSphere Management SDK can be leveraged and extended to cover vSAN management needs.
