Upgrading Management Agents

In this article

Veeam Availability Console and its management agents must run the same software version. Otherwise, they cannot properly communicate with each other. When you upgrade or migrate to a new version of Veeam Availability Console, or install an update, you also need to upgrade management agents running on client computers.

Required Privileges

To perform this task, a user must have one of the following roles assigned: Service Provider Global Administrator, Service Provider Administrator, Service Provider Operator.

To upgrade Veeam Availability Console management agents:

For details, see Accessing Veeam Availability Console.

Do one of the following:

[For Service Provider Global Administrator, Service Provider Administrator] In the menu on the left, click Discovery.
[For Service Provider Operator] In the menu on the left, click Managed Computers.

Open the Discovered Computers tab.
Click Filter. In the Filter by agent version section, select the Out-of-date check box only. Click Apply.

The list of discovered computers will display management agents whose software version does not coincide with the Veeam Availability Console version.
