Resource Listing

The Bacula Enterprise Proxmox Plugin supports the new Plugin Listing feature of Bacula Enterprise 8.x or newer. This mode allows a Plugin to display some useful information about available Proxmox resources such as:

List of guest VM name-labels
List of guest VM VMIDs
List of Proxmox Storages
List of Proxmox Resource Pools

The new feature uses the special .ls command with a new plugin=<plugin> parameter. The command requires the following parameters to be set:

client=<client>: A Bacula Client name with the Proxmox Plugin installed.
plugin=<plugin>: A Plugin name, which would be proxmox: in this case, with optional plugin parameters as described in section genericparameters.
path=<path>: An object path to display.

The supported values for a path=<path> parameter are:

/: to display object types available to list.
vm: to display a list of guest VM name-labels.
vmid: to display a list of guest VM VMIDs and name-label pointers.
storage: to show the list of available Storages.
pool: to display the list of Resource Pools.

To display available object types, follow the following command example:

*.ls client=pve-fd plugin=proxmox: path=/

To display the list of all available guest VMs, the following command example can be used:

*.ls client=pve-fd plugin=proxmox: path=vm

To display the list of guest VM VMIDs, use the following command example:

*.ls client=pve-fd plugin=proxmox: path=vmid
Connecting to Client pve-fd at pve:9102
 root     root      2251187813 2018-01-30 15:09:37  101 -> ubuntu-container
 root     root       594332876 2018-01-30 15:09:38  102 -> fedora-container
 root     root      1288490188 2018-01-30 15:09:40  103 -> openhab-test
 root     root       680735539 2018-01-30 15:09:41  106 -> vm1
 root     root       490733568 2018-01-30 15:09:42  107 -> testvm1
 root     root     34359738368 2018-01-30 15:09:42  100 -> ubuntu-server-template
 root     root     34359738368 2018-01-30 15:09:43  104 -> rhel-server
 root     root     68719476736 2018-01-30 15:09:43  105 -> testvm2
 root     root     34359738368 2018-01-30 15:09:44  108 -> ubuntu-server
 root     root     34359738368 2018-01-30 15:09:45  201 -> vm2
2000 OK estimate files=10 bytes=211,463,910,192

The VM and VMID lists display an estimated size of the guest VM.

To display available Proxmox Storages, the following command example can be used:

*.ls client=pve-fd plugin=proxmox: path=storage
Connecting to Client pve-fd at pve:9102
brw-r-----   1 root     root               0 2018-01-30 15:11:18  local-lvm
brw-r-----   1 root     root               0 2018-01-30 15:11:18  local
brw-r-----   1 root     root               0 2018-01-30 15:11:18  sunnfs
2000 OK estimate files=3 bytes=0

And, finally, use the following to show available Proxmox Resource Pools:

*.ls client=pve-fd plugin=proxmox: path=pool
Connecting to Client pve-fd at pve:9102
brw-r-----   1 root     root               0 2018-01-30 15:12:27  testpool
brw-r-----   1 root     root               0 2018-01-30 15:12:27  Development
