Installing Veeam ONE Servers

You can install Veeam ONE on discovered computers in client or hosted infrastructure using the command line interface. For details on installation in unattended mode, see section Installing Veeam ONE in Unattended Mode of the Veeam ONE User Guide.

How Installation of Veeam ONE is Performed

Installation of Veeam ONE runs as follows:

  1. A backup administrator instructs Veeam Service Provider Console to install Veeam ONE on a discovered computer and configures installation settings.
  2. Veeam Service Provider Console management agent on the discovered computer provides Veeam ONE license from the selected source and triggers installation of Veeam ONE in unattended mode. After the installation is complete, Veeam Service Provider Console management agent connects Veeam ONE to Veeam Service Provider Console.

Required Privileges

To perform this task, a user must have one of the following roles assigned: Portal Administrator, Site Administrator, Portal Operator.

Prerequisites

For details on system requirements for Veeam ONE servers, see section System Requirements of the Veeam ONE User Guide.

In addition to requirements listed in the Veeam ONE User Guide, consider the following:

  • Make sure that a Veeam Service Provider Console management agent is deployed on the machine on which you plan to install Veeam ONE. For details, see Deploying Veeam Service Provider Console Management Agents.
  • To install Veeam ONE on a client computer, you must upgrade Veeam Cloud Connect server on which the cloud tenant is registered to version 12.
  • Make sure you have additional free space on the system disk on the machine on which you plan to install Veeam ONE. Veeam Service Provider Console will need extra space to download and unpack the Veeam ONE setup file. You can check the setup file size on the first step of the wizard.
  • Make sure you have local administrator credentials for the machine on which you plan to install Veeam ONE.

Note:

In Veeam Service Provider Console, you can install Veeam ONE version 13 or later in the all-in one deployment scenario only. For details, see section All-in-One Deployment of the Veeam ONE User Guide.

When you initiate Veeam ONE installation, Veeam Service Provider Console will send to Veeam Installation Server data about Veeam Service Provider Console version. This data will be sent even if you have disabled automatic checks for Veeam products updates.
