Oracle Linux 6.9 and Veeam Linux Agent 2

[ificons]

I've an Oracle Linux 6.9 with the latest updates installed.
I'm unable to have agent working correctly.
I can't install veeamsnap correctly because i can't find the corresponding kernel-devel (4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64).

Hi,

You mean this one?

Thanks

Hi,
thanks for your replies,
but no kernel-uek-devel-4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64.rpm was already installed.

Veeam agent looking for something like kernel-devel-4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64, that i don't find

[PTide]

That dependency belongs to dkms package, which, in turn, is dependency for veeamsnap. Please install kernel-uek-devel manually and then try to run installation again, dkms installation should work.

Thank you

Hi, i've installed kernel-uek-devel + dkms but veeamsnap still looking for kernel-devel

[PTide]

You should either install kernel-devel as it requests, or just ignore kernel-devel dependency. Would you also provide the exact error message that you see please?

Thanks

I have installed the kernel-devel, but the problem persist:

Wait, if your kernel version is 3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek.x86_64, then why did uou mention kernel-devel (4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64) as a corresponding package in your original post? You should install kernel-uek-devel package that matches your current kernel version.

Thanks

[ificons]

There is no 3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek.x86_64 kernel-uek-devel

Have you already tried installing/ignoring kernel-devel dependency?

Thanks

[ificons]

I don't know how to do it

[ificons]

I find the operations and it works

[wangfh]

Hi, i've installed kernel-uek-devel + dkms but veeamsnap still looking for kernel-devel

Hi, what dkms version did you install? I'm trying to install dkms.noarch 2.4.0-1 without luck
I'm running OL 6.9 too with UEK kernel R4(4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64).

Thanks

I've an Oracle Linux 6.9 with the latest updates installed.
I'm unable to have agent working correctly.
I can't install veeamsnap correctly because i can't find the corresponding kernel-devel (4.1.12-61.1.28.el6uek.x86_64).

Hi were you able to get the agent working? We tried quite a few of things but still no luck.

Thanks

Hi

Would appreciate someone here who can shade some lights on this. We are trying to make Veeam agent to work on our Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) running OL 6.9 and UEK kernel(4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64). We installed kernel-uek-devel.x86_64 (from Oracle)

Code: Select all

[root@ahqoda1rt0 tmp]# yum list installed|grep kernel-uek-devel.x86_64
kernel-uek-devel.x86_64          4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek     @/kernel-uek-devel-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64

But failed when installing Veeam agent dependency: dkms (dkms-2.4.0-1.20170926git959bd74.el6.noarch.rpm):

Code: Select all

Also tried dkms from EPEL repositories, got the same thing.

Hi @wangfh,

I am not sure what might be the reason for DKMS to require kernel-devel since you have already installed it. As this is ODA, I guess it's out of the question that you run exactly UEK and not RHCK?

Just to be sure, please provide outputs of uname -r and yum -v list | grep kernel.
Alos please check whether ol6_UEKR4 repo is enabled:

Code: Select all

yum repolist all | grep ol6_UEKR4

You can enable it using this command:

Code: Select all

sudo yum-config-manager --enable ol6_UEKR4

After that please try to reinstall kernel-uek-devel again and try installing dkms one more time.

Thanks!
