Another week, another group of VMCE Practice Questions. See below, & please remember to hide your comments.

What is a pre-requisite to be able to use the Veeam Persistent Agent?

  1. You must be running Veeam Data Platform Advanced
  2. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM
  3. The guest VM must be running Windows
  4. You must retain SSH account credentials in the Veeam Console Credentials Manager

B

 

b - The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM

 

  1. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM

 

  1. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM

Since the persistent agent can be installed on both Windows and Linux, C & D don’t make sense. This kind of feature is generally not locked behind a license restriction, so A is unlikely.

Prerequisites

To use persistent agent components, you must ensure the Veeam Installer Service is installed on the guest VM. For more information, see Veeam Installer Service.

Hi @calabro - please hide your comment when answering the question. Let me know if you need help in doing so.

Thank you.

So let’s get to this week’s answers for the questions…

This is a simple question of knowing the requirements and limitations for the Persistent Agent. The Agent can be used on Linux, so c. isn’t correct; also, there is no limitation for any specific Veeam Edition, so a. is also incorrect. And d. is simply a bogus answer, leaving b. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM as the correct one.
