Challenge

This article provides an example granular ‘sudoer’ configuration for the Linux account that will be used by Veeam Backup & Replication when installing Veeam Plug-Ins for Enterprise Applications using a Protection Group, specifically for Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN and Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA on Linux.

    Note: This article documents sudo permission requirements for installation of the plugins only. Operational permissions for the Enterprise Application Plug-Ins can be found here:

    Solution

    Alternate Solution: Use Certificate-Based Authentication
    As an alternative to password-based authentication and granular sudoer configuration, you have the option to install Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications on Linux computers using certificate-based authentication. To do so, you must install Veeam Deployer Service on the computer and then add the computer to a protection group of the Individual computer type. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication does not require an SSH connection to install the Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications.

    Note: Replace veeamdep with the username for the account the Protection Group will use to install the plug-in.
