System Requirements

A machine that you plan to protect with Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris must meet requirements listed in the table below.

Specification	Requirement
Hardware	CPU: Oracle SPARC or Intel x86 processor. Memory: Memory: 1 GB RAM (for standard backup and restore operations) / 4 GB RAM (for bare metal recovery). Disk space: 250 MB free disk space for product installation. Network: 10 Mbps or faster network connection to a backup target.
OS	Oracle Solaris 10 1/13, 11.0 – 11.4 on machines based on the SPARC and Intel x86 architecture. Note: Only GA versions and updates of the Oracle Solaris OS that have been released before version 4.6 of Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris are supported.
File System	All file systems supported by the supported operating systems. Note: Total size of all file systems included in a file-level backup must not exceed 216 TiB. Size of a file in a backup must not exceed 16 TiB. Name of a file in a backup must not be larger than 254 bytes. Keep in mind that characters that you can use in the file name may be encoded in 2 bytes or more. Sparse files are not supported. Veeam Agent backs up and restores sparse files as regular files. Backup of clustered systems is not supported.
Software	The system must have the following utilities installed: mlocate (version 0.26-1 or later) – required for file system indexing. If your system does not have the mlocate utility, you can install it from the product installation media. tar - required for file system indexing, exporting and rotating logs. It is installed with the product. gzip – required for file system indexing, exporting and rotating logs. It must be installed separately. xorriso – required for creating Veeam Recovery Media. Oracle Solaris minimal install (Core System Support Software Group) requires adding the following packages: SUMWtoo, SUNWzoneu and SUNWzoner.

Backup Target

Backup can be performed to the following types of storage:

Local (internal) storage of the protected machine (not recommended)
Direct attached storage (DAS), such as USB, eSATA or Firewire external drives
Network Attached Storage (NAS) able to represent itself as NFS or SMB (CIFS) share

Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1.2 or later backup repository

Important

Consider the following about backup repositories:

[For local storage] A backup repository should be created on a separate volume from a volume that contains data you plan to back up.

[For Veeam backup repository] Veeam Cloud Connect repositories, repositories with enabled KMS encryption and object storage repositories managed by Veeam Backup & Replication are not supported.

Network

Consider the following:

If you back up to a repository managed by a Veeam backup server, Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris must be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris cannot work with Veeam Backup & Replication that is located behind a NAT gateway.
Domain names of the Veeam Agent machine, Veeam Backup & Replication server and other servers in the Veeam backup infrastructure must be resolvable into IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
