Components Upgrade - Veeam trying to install wrong components
Hi all,
yesterday I applied the patch to our Veeam BR 11a. After this, the components on the proxy, Hyper-V server, Windows Server, Linux hardened repo etc. needed to be updated. We have two Linux repos and both are setup similar. difference is that one is an older hardware server with a lot of disks and the other is a thin-client with attached NAS for storage. The Linux repos have only Installer, Transport, Tape Proxy (not used) and Veeam CDP (not used) as components. This components have been updated but for the first Linux repo Veeam somehow want to update components that are not there.
It says update required for Hyper-V Integration, Veeam Backup VSS Integration and Veeam VSS Hardware Snapshot Provider. All of the three are installed on another managed server.
So I went for an upgrade from v11 to v12 but still the same issue. Veeam wants to upgrade the Linix repo with components that are not there and of course this will end with an error like "Failed to upgrade host components. Error 'Invalid component type FileSystemVssIntegration'". There is no such integration on a Linux system!
Backups and everything is still working but every time the console is opened it says one host (two repositories) are out-of-date.

Re: Components Upgrade - Veeam trying to install wrong components
Has this host been used before with a different role (i.e. not a linux repo)? I have seen before that some old entries are left in the Veeam database which makes Veeam want to update components that are not there.

@LickABrick
I´ve already read this post but did not tried the SQL query. Yes, the host have been once used as a Hyper-V server. We got new servers with VMware and migrated all VMs through Veeam. After all VM have been moved this way the old host have been removed from Veeam, degraded and rebuild with Linux as a hardened Repo. This have worked for over a year until the last 11a update and v12 upgrade. This is kinda ridiculous the old host ID in the DB was not removed the time the host have been deleted in Veeam.
I´ll update the case as there is no issue anymore. Thanks for pointing me to the post again
