Hi, there are examples in the documentation at https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/Plugins.html#vmware-plugin to restore to different VM name by passing plugin options like the following on restore:
python:restore_datastore=datastore2:vmname=testvm1restored:restore_powerstate=off May it be that you are still using a VMFS 5 datastore? What was the virtual disk size? I've seen such an error message when the Bareos VMware plugin tried to recreate a VM on an VMFS 5 datastore with a 80GB disk. Unfortunately that error message returned be the API is not very helpful as it does not really tell the cause. Regards, Stephan On 3/11/23 16:41, Timas A wrote:
Hi, /*Since Version >= 22.0.0 it also backs up the VM configuration metadata so that it can recreate deleted VMs and then restore the VM disks.*/ /* */ What plugin parameters to pass to backup VM configuration metadata? Since I can only see the vmdk disk after the backup, I don't understand how restoring VM to another location happens. There is no mention of this in the documentation./* */ I'm getting this output: JobId 22:Fatal error: python3-fd-mod: Error creating VM, name testvm1restored, exception (vim.fault.InvalidDeviceSpec) { dynamicType = <unset>, dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], msg = "Invalid configuration for device '3'.", faultCause = <unset>, faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [], property = 'VirtualDisk.capacityInKB', deviceIndex = 3 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
