Veeam Software Appliance - Issue with Installation Process

Hi Veeam Experts,

I am trying to install the Veeam Software Appliance on a bare-metal server.

The installer detects the disks and creates the partitions during the Rocky Linux setup, but it stops at the Installation Summary with a “Kickstart insufficient” error and doesn’t proceed further.

I have tried both GUI and CLI installations, but the installation is not proceeding further.

Could you please advise on troubleshooting steps?

 

Regards,

Dhanapal

Hi ​@Dhanapal.Kuppusamy, Welcome to the community, 

 

Please ensure the prerequisites are met and minimum of two disks for the installation https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/em/system_requirements.html?ver=13

Software RAID is not supported. If you are using software RAID, switch to local disks or hardware RAID, then retry the installation.

Also, please make sure the ISO is written to the USB drive using Rufus with the default settings. When prompted, select the “Write in DD Image mode” option.

Hi Expert,

That’s great 👍


Thank you for the suggestion. Earlier, I had missed selecting the DD Image mode. This time, I enabled the “Write in DD Image mode” option while creating the USB using Rufus, and it worked successfully for me.

Thanks for your help!
