Error in elavating to superuser....
Hello All,
I have an older version of Veeam, 2.0 (i know's it's old but it (was) working fine) and trying to connect to a 4.1 ESX host. I am getting the following error; Error in elavating to superuser. Error sudo disabling sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo.
I can login with Putty and elevate fine. Am I missing something here?

Are you sure you can elevate OK via Putty? VMWare changed the security model in 4.1. If you google SSH Access vshpere 4.1 you'll get plenty of hits.

There was a change in ESX 4.0 that made old elevation code not working, so we had to address this in later Veeam Backup release (I can't remember which Veeam Backup release, it was over a year ago).

Yes, I can elevate properly.
I checked the sudoers file and the user is in the file.
username ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ALL
Is there anyway to manually work around this?

I'm afraid you should either use the latest version of Veeam B&R or use root to connect to your ESX 4.0 host.

Re: Error in elavating to superuser....
If I am not mistaken, commenting the following line in the sudoers file on ESX 4.0 will help:
But I would highly recommend upgrating to the latest version anyway - 1000x times better reliability (due to transactional backup storage added in v4), and 20x faster backup (on ESX4, due to changed block tracking) alone should be enough to justify the upgrade from Veeam Backup 2.0... you really are not doing yourself any good by sticking with v2 (which will soon be 3 year old).
Code: Select all
Defaults requiretty

Thanks, that got it.
As for upgrading, this is a small installation and 2.0 works fine for now. Going to 5.0 would add complexity that is not necessary right now...
