Oracle Solaris Computers

Hardware

CPU: Oracle SPARC or Intel x86 processor.

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, 11.3 and 11.4 operating systems on machines based on the SPARC or Intel x86 architecture are supported.

Note: Only GA versions of the Oracle Solaris OS that have been released before the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris version 13.0.1 are supported.

File System

All file systems supported by the supported operating systems.

Consider the following:

• 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.
• Veeam Agent supports backup and restore of POSIX and NFSv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs). For more information, see Backup of ACLs.

Software

IMPORTANT! The user account used to work with Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris installed on the protected computer must have the /bin/bash shell set as the default shell.

For file system indexing, the following utilities are required: tar, mlocate and gzip.

• 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: SUNWtoo, SUNWzoneu and SUNWzoner.

If you use Veeam Backup & Replication on Linux, OpenSSH is required for Veeam Agent installation. On Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 and 11.3, OpenSSH must be installed manually. For more information, see this Veeam KB article.
