Installation

This article describes how to install Bacula Enterprise vSphere Plugin.

Prerequisites

Note

The Plugin Directory is set by default, however, it is recommended to double-check if the Plugin Directory directive of the File Daemon resource in /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-fd.conf points to the directory where the vsphere-fd.so plugin is installed. The standard Bacula plugin directory is: /opt/bacula/plugins.

Your File Daemon must have access to the vCenter/vSphere management network, port TCP/443 for API calls, and port TCP/902 for NBD data transfer or direct SAN access to vSphere datastores for SAN transport mode.
