Description
What happened?
We've got the vCenter Proxy Minion setup and working. Noticing inconsistent behavior with the vSphere Module functions. For example, list_vms & get_vm_config are successful whereas update_vm fails as below.
When run on Salt Master-
[root@rhel-master ~]# salt 'vcenter-proxy' vsphere.update_vm vm_name=RHEL9 datacenter=DC-01A cpu='{count: 4, nested: False}'
vcenter-proxy:
ERROR: 'vcenter' proxy is not supported by function update_vm
ERROR: Minions returned with non-zero exit code
[root@rhel-master ~]#
When run on vCenter Proxy-
[root@salt-proxy ~]# salt-call vsphere.update_vm vm_name=RHEL9 datacenter=DC-01A cpu='{count: 4, nested: False}'

Research direction
Start in salt/modules/vsphere.py, using the reported update_vm calls and the existing list_vms and get_vm_config behavior as comparison points. Reproduce the commands against the vCenter Proxy Minion and proxy, then trace why update_vm rejects the proxy; done means the function works consistently through the proxy or its supported behavior is clearly established.
