Disabling Automatic Worker Updates

When launching a worker for a backup or restore operation, Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV automatically downloads updates from Veeam repositories and installs them on the worker. If the worker is not connected to the Internet, you can instruct Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV to use an HTTP proxy that will provide access to the necessary repositories.

If a worker does not have access to the internet and no HTTP proxy is configured for the worker, you can disable automatic updates to avoid connection failures and eliminate session warnings:

1. Open the Backup Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, select Backup Proxies.
3. In the working area, select the backup appliance and click Edit Appliance on the ribbon.

Alternatively, right-click the backup appliance and select Properties.

4. At the Networks step of the Edit oVirt KVM Backup Appliance wizard, clear the Obtain updates check box. Then, click Finish to save changes made to the worker settings.
