Infrastructure Software

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

2. 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.

[root@jedloungeapp1 ~]# rpm -qa |grep veeam

veeamsnap-4.0.0.1961-1.noarch

veeam-release-el6-1.0.7-1.x86_64

veeam-4.0.0.1961-1.el6.x86_64

[root@jedloungeapp1 ~]# ps -ef|grep veeam
