Error installing veeamsnap-1.0.0.499-1.noarch.rpm

[kwilson38]

I'm trying to install the Veeam Agent for Linux on a RHEL 6.3 box with kernel version 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64

'rpm -ivh veeamsnap-1.0.0.499-1.noarch.rpm' results in the following:

What do I need to do in order to get dkms updated to an acceptable version for the Veeam Agent for Linux installation?

Try this:

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm -O ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm –i ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum update –y
yum install dkms –y

It doesn't appear that helped because the installation of veeamsnap still completes with the Warning/Error.

Here are the results of the attempted update of DKMS:

Hi,

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/e ... atest-[b]7[/b].noarch.rpm -O ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

I can see that you've installed epel repo for RHEL 7, while you are running RHEL 6.3. Also you have dkms 2.2.0.3-3 installed

dkms.noarch 2.2.0.3-3 installed

while the latest available version is for RHEL 6 is 2.2.0.3-34.

Could you please try to install epel 6 first:

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

, then disable epel 7 repo (go to /etc/yum.repos.d/, locate EPEL repo file there, open it, and set enabled=0) then run

Code: Select all

yum install dkms –y

Thanks

Thanks a lot - The above steps for RHEL 6 resolved the problem.

[PTide]

Good to hear that! Looking forward for your feedback on VAL Beta.

P.S. Now you can delete all epel 7 repo related strings from that file as you don't need them on your system anymore.

Thanks

[kwilson38]

Done - Thanks again!
