+ ls -l /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-vddk-plugin.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 25296 Feb  7  2020 /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-vddk-plugin.so
+ ls -ld /opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/
drwxrwxrwx. 7 root root 84 Sep 15 18:38 /opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/
++ find /opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/ -name 'libvixDiskLib.so.[67]'
+ lib=/opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/lib64/libvixDiskLib.so.7
++ dirname /opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/lib64/libvixDiskLib.so.7
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/lib64
+ nbdkit vddk --dump-plugin libdir=/opt/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/
nbdkit: error: libvixDiskLib.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If 'libvixDiskLib.so.6' is located on a non-standard path you may need to

Which version of nbdkit are you using?

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-09-21 07:53:00 UTC

This is almost certainly the bug which Brett linked to (bug 1831969).
It's fixed in nbdkit >= 1.16.2-3.el8, in RHEL AV 8.2.1.

Comment 7 Brett Thurber 2020-09-21 14:17:00 UTC

Since this issue was fixed in a previous version of nbdkit closing this BZ.  The issue experienced here was related to the v2v-conversion image not being upgraded with the proper version of nbdkit.
