VAL 6.3: Red Hat v.7 - 7.9 Kernel version 3.10.0-1160.132.1.el7.x86_64 support

[joshuayu2999]

VAL 6.3 support for RedHat 7.0-7.9 is validated with Kernel: 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7

Do we have a timeline on when Kernel version 3.10.0-1160.132.1.el7.x86_64 would be supported?

Current customer has different Red Hat versions, a couple of systems are not able to backup due to the newer Kernel.

Thank You.

Hello Joshua,

We recently tested 3.10.0-1160.133.1.el7.x86_64, and it is supported by VAL 6.X versions.
See https://www.veeam.com/kb2804 for more information.

Hi ,

RHEL7 has released the new kernel version 3.10.0-1160.135.1.el7, which includes security updates. Currently, we are not able to update our physical servers to this kernel version due to compatibility issues with the Veeam Agent.

Kindly let me know if there are any workarounds or if a Veeam Agent update is planned to support this kernel.

Thanks.

Hi Ravi,

The mentioned kernel version is supported.
It just takes some time between the kernel release, QA tests, and finally publishing the updates to https://www.veeam.com/kb2804.

Thanks for your patience! And KB is already updated.
