Veeam Service Provider Console Management Agent for Mac

To install Veeam Service Provider Console management agent and Veeam Agent for Mac, download ZIP archive with setup files, unpack the archive and use a command with the following syntax:

sudo installer -pkg <path_to_package> -target <volume>; veeamconsoleconfig -g add <gateway>:<port> --tag_name <tag> --validate_cert <thumbprint>

where:

  • <path_to_package> — path to the installation package. Specify a full path to the package as the parameter value.

Example: -pkg /Users/macbook-air/Downloads/Mac/'Veeam Management Agent - 8.0.0.16877.pkg'

  • <volume> — name of the volume where you want to install management agent and Veeam Agent for Mac.

To install agents on the main volume, specify the '/' (slash) character.

  • <gateway> — FQDN or IP address of a cloud gateway.

For hosted management agents, specify FQDN or IP address of Veeam Service Provider Console portal.

  • <port> — the port that is used to transfer data to Veeam Service Provider Console.
  • [optional] <tag> — tag that will be assigned to the management agent.

If you do not want to assign tag to the management agent, you can skip the --tag_name command.

  • <thumbprint> — thumbprint of the security certificate that is installed on the Veeam Service Provider Console server.

If you do not specify a certificate thumbprint, you will be asked to verify the security certificate.

Important!

It is strongly recommended to provide a certificate thumbprint for automated verification of the security certificate. Do not use the --validate_cert command with -f argument.
