v12 seems to now require tcp6160 for Linux servers

[DonZoomik]

I don't see it in v12 port requirements in context on Linux servers and my hardened repos are failing the upgrade while deploying Installer Service (that was not used before?).

Hi Mihkel

In V12 we will deploy our installer service (Port 6160) to managed Linux servers. This will allow future updates without enabling SSH and providing the credentials.
Before with V11, you were required to enable SSH each time when you wanted to update the components on a Linux server registered with single-use credentials.

We will update the user guide.

Thanks,
Fabian

Hi Mihkel

Port 6160 is now mentioned in our user guide.

Thank you for letting us know about the missing port.

Best,

It is not mentioned on this page though:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=13

I have just upgraded a VBR server from 12 to 13 and the linux agents are now listed as unresponsive because port 6160 isn't open.

Never mind, I missed that the page was for unmanaged agents and my agents were managed. In any case, it works after allowing port 6160, but it worked for years until now without that port.
