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: 1 GB RAM. For information about RAM requirements for backup of a great number of files, see RAM Requirements for Large-Scale Environments.

Disk space: 150 MB free disk space for product installation.

Network: 10 Mbps or faster network connection to a backup target.

OS

Oracle Solaris 10 – 11.4 operating systems on machines based on the SPARC and Intel x86 architecture are supported.

Note: Only GA versions of the Oracle Solaris OS that have been released before the current version 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 218 TB.
  • Sparse files are not supported. Veeam Agent backs up and restores sparse files as regular files.

Software

The mlocate utility is required for file system indexing. The utility is provided along with the product in the product installation media.

 

 

 

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 SMB (CIFS) or NFS share
  • Veeam Backup & Replication 10a or later backup repository (Veeam Cloud Connect repositories are not supported)

Network

Consider the following:

  • Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris should be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Thus, Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris cannot work with Veeam Backup & Replication that is located behind the 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 addresses.
