Veeam Agent for Linux Oracle Linux 8.7!

It might be worth checking this KB article regarding Oracle Linux 8 with UEK R7 kernel (5.15+).

Hi @Mahmood.Alganadi -

Welcome to the Community! That error you’re having is due to either those few packages not being installed, or out of date. It’s great you checked the Release Notes, but for install and System Requirements, you should check the Veeam Agent for Linux (VAL) User Guide. From here, you can see all the packages Veeam states you need to have installed in your Linux system for successful VAL install.

I helped another user a couple mos ago with similar issues:

What you more than likely have to do is install the following:

python3
kernel-headers
kernel-devel

Before installing those, make sure your Linux OS is updated properly:
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade -y

Then, install the above packages. To do so, all you should need to do is run:
sudo dnf install python3 -y

sudo dnf install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) -y

sudo dns install kernel-devel -y

You may be able to use yum as your install package manager I think as well, instead of dnf if you’re more familiar/comfortable with it. But, so you don’t run into this error again with regards to your Linux headers, I’d install the ‘generic’ version, i.e. sudo dnf install linux-headers-generic -y .

You may also need to verify dkms package is installed by running: dkms status
If it’s not installed, you’ll need to install it as well: sudo dnf dkms install -y .

I think once you get all those packages updated and/or installed, you should be able to get VAL installed successfully.

Let us know how it goes.

I also wrote a Hub article on how to successfully get VAL installed, albeit for a debian-based system (Ubuntu). But, the concepts are still the same. Maybe skim though it as well for more info:

Best,

Shane
