Hi,

I installed vmware plugin for bareos on Debian 8.0 but i have error "Plugin Directory not defined" in bareos.log .
Config files check go wella and Bareos services run without errors, but when i start a "vmware job" returns error as in object.
The plugin path is correct.
How can I debug this error?

Error reported:

debian-fd JobId 8: Fatal error: Plugin Directory not defined. Cannot use plugin: "python:module_path=/usr/lib/bareos/plugins/vmware_plugin:module_name=bareos-fd-vmware:....."

Add a plugin directory directive on the corresponding daemon.

# remove comment in next line to load plugins from specified directory
bareos-sd.conf: # Plugin Directory = /usr/lib64/bareos/plugins

etc ...

Perfect!
That was the problem!

I can add a tip: if log reports a generic "Command plugin ... requested, but is not loaded" it need to search typing error in parameters of plugin directive.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

if you want to use vmware_cbt_tool.py mentioned at
http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#VMwarePlugin
please update to the latest packages on
http://download.bareos.org/bareos/experimental/vmware-plugin/Debian_8.0/

The vmware_cbt_tool.py now has a workaround as Python >= 2.7.9 does
strict SSL verification by default, which won't work easily on most
installations. As Debian 8 has Python 2.7.9, it did not work before.

As Bruno already said, Plugin Directory must be configured in bareos-fd.conf,
on Debian 8 it should be

Plugin Directory = /usr/lib/bareos/plugins

Regards

Stephan

Great!
Now can enable/disable cbt by vmware_cbt_tool.py script!

Thanks a lot
