Resolution

 

This error is benign and is safe to be ignored. The issue has been resolved in the vRealize Automation 8.11.0 release

Workaround:

 

One way to stop the error is to create the missing directory reported in the trace-back (in this instance /var/lib/raas/unpack/_MEIJGvlzn/raas/static/master_plugins) on the raas instance once the service is up.
