Deploy the Veeam management agent for the Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) with Sherweb

 


Requirements

  • A user with the local Administrator permissions must be used to install the management agent on Windows machines.

  • The Veeam management agent was previously created. If not already created, here is the article to create a Veeam management agent.

  • The machine on which the Veeam management agent will be installed must have at least two (2) GB of RAM.

  • To allow the connection of Veeam management agents and Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) servers to the Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC), the outbound network traffic to gw.ca.vspc-cloud.com (for the CAN console) and gw.us.vspc-cloud.com (for the US console) on port TCP 6180 must be allowed.

Notes

If you are using an RMM software (Remote Management & Monitoring), you may want to consider leveraging it by automating the deployment of agents. See this article for details: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vac/deployment/silent_install_agent.html?ver=81
