To make UEFI systems with Secure Boot work with the pre-built veeamsnap kernel module, you need to enroll the Veeam public key to the MOK list using the mokutil utility. The key is available in the veeamsnap-ueficert-4.0.1.2365-1.noarch package residing on the Veeam repository. To enroll the key:

To install Veeam Agent for Linux:
- Download the Veeam software repository installation package (veeam-release) from the Veeam Download page, and save the downloaded package on the computer where you plan to install the product.
|
If the computer where you want to install Veeam Agent for Linux is not connected to the internet, you can download and install Veeam Agent for Linux packages manually. To learn more, see Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in Offline Mode. |
- Navigate to the directory where you have saved the veeam-release package and install the package with the following commands:
For CentOS / RHEL / Oracle Linux / Fedora
For openSUSE / SLES
For Debian / Ubuntu
- Install Veeam Agent for Linux packages from the Veeam software repository. To install Veeam Agent for Linux, you can use a package manager of your choice that works with software packages in your Linux distribution. For example, use the following commands:
For CentOS / RHEL / Fedora
|
[For CentOS / RHEL] If the dkms package is already installed in the OS, you can install Veeam Agent with one of the following commands:
With this command, the veeamsnap kernel module will be installed from the source RPM package using dkms.
With this command, the non-DKMS version of the veeamsnap kernel module will be installed from the pre-built kmod-veeamsnap binary package. |
For Oracle Linux
For openSUSE Tumbleweed
For openSUSE Leap 15.2
For SLES with Default kernel
For SLES with Trace kernel
For SLES with Xen kernel
For SLES with PAE kernel
For Debian / Ubuntu
*where <version> is the package version according to the SLES distribution version that you use. To learn the package version, see the Veeam software repository.
The following dependency packages may require special handling in case you see installation errors:
- EPEL repository (for CentOS / RHEL / Oracle Linux / Fedora)
- Packman repository (for openSUSE). To learn more, see Installing dkms in openSUSE.
For SLES, the dkms package is not available in the Packman repository. You must use the package intended for openSUSE. To learn more, see this Veeam KB article.
- Extended kernels, such as kernel-pae, kernel-uek and other, require appropriate kernel-devel packages to be installed, for example, kernel-pae-devel, kernel-uek-devel, and so on.
Version of the kernel-devel package must match your current kernel version. To check your current kernel version, run the uname -r command.
[For RHEL and derivatives] If the yum package manager installs packages that do not match your current kernel version, you should either update your system or fetch older versions of the required packages from the CentOS Vault repository.
Problem: nothing provides kernel-devel needed by dkms-2.2.0.3-14.1.noarch |
To install the dkms package, do the following:
root@localhost:~> rpm -qa | grep kernel-default |
