Bareso 22 VMWare plugin incompatible with pyvmomi >= 8.0.1, must return to 7.0.3

[TDL]

Hi

Since I upgraded to Bareos 22 on Ubuntu 22.04.1, I was unable to backup VMs. The backup failed with the following error:

Fatal error: bareosfd: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/bareos/plugins/bareos-fd-vmware.py", line 57, in
import BareosFdPluginVMware
File "/usr/lib/bareos/plugins/BareosFdPluginVMware.py", line 51, in
from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect, SmartConnectNoSSL, Disconnect
ImportError: cannot import name 'SmartConnectNoSSL' from 'pyVim.connect' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/pyVim/connect.py)

It appears as of pyvmomi 8.0.0.1, the SmartConnectNoSSL has been removed (see https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/blob/v8.0.0.1/pyVim/connect.py)

I uninstalled v8.0.0.1.1 that was installed on my system (using 'pip3 uninstall pyVmomi' - which found pyvmomi 8.0.0.1.1) and intalled pyvmomi 7.0.3 (using 'pip3 install pyVmomi==7.0.3')

Looks like we need to use V7 of python script against VDDK 8 for the time being..

Best regards

Thierry

Hi Stephan, 

Thanks for the quick fix! I applied it, upgraded to pyVmomi to 8.0.0.1.1 and I confirm it solves the problem.
