Hi All,
Anybody looking for installing Veeam Agent on OEL- 6.10 can follow below steps, I am sharing these steps as it took 2 to 3 hours from me to discover issues and to fixed.
My Env.
[root@jedloungeapp1 ~]# cat /etc/oracle-release
Oracle Linux Server release 6.10
[root@jedloungeapp1 ~]# uname -r
4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64
1. Before proceeding for Veeam Agent installation make sure below rpm is already installed in your system as Veeam packages are depending on it.
1. RPM : kernel-devel-2.6.32-754.30.2.el6.x86\_64
2. RPM : dkms-2.4.0-1.20170926git959bd74.el6.noarch.rpm
[root@jedloungeapp1 tmp]# rpm -ivh dkms-2.4.0-1.20170926git959bd74.el6.noarch.rpm
warning: dkms-2.4.0-1.20170926git959bd74.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-devel-uname-r is needed by dkms-2.4.0-1.20170926git959bd74.el6.noarch

Make Sure below 2 RPM have same version 4.1.12-124.16.4 . Otherwise you will get below error.
kernel-uek-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86\_64
kernel-uek-devel-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86\_64

3. Download the Veeam software repository installation package (veeam-release) from below link and execute
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforlinux/userguide/installation_process.html?ver=40
4. [root@jedloungeapp1 tmp]#rpm -ivh ./veeam-release* && yum check-update
5. [root@jedloungeapp1 tmp]# yum install veeamsnap
6. [root@jedloungeapp1 tmp]# yum install veeam
7. To make sure everything is working fine you can run below script provided by Veeam.
1) download the script to your Veeam Agent for Linux host:
wget [https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.veeam.com%2Ftmp%2FFile_04259830_c2a87059e7.zip&data=02%7C01%7Cali%40saudiacatering.com%7C7e7e4febc3ad4543049b08d81d8d409d%7C4d914efe75c84783926c75f9f821cdde%7C0%7C0%7C637291839797557219&sdata=IwNCBr5520muxZCuFkPD4M3CowaVUcK3IAC2TPlCFeA%3D&reserved=0](https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.veeam.com%2Ftmp%2FFile_04259830_c2a87059e7.zip&data=02%7C01%7Cali%40saudiacatering.com%7C7e7e4febc3ad4543049b08d81d8d409d%7C4d914efe75c84783926c75f9f821cdde%7C0%7C0%7C637291839797557219&sdata=IwNCBr5520muxZCuFkPD4M3CowaVUcK3IAC2TPlCFeA%3D&reserved=0)
2) unzip the archive:
unzip File\_04259830\_c2a87059e7.zip
3) allow execution of the script:
chmod u+x veeamsnap\_data.sh
4) execute the script:
sudo ./veeamsnap\_data.sh -e
8. Final Check.
