Affected releases:
1.0
Fixed releases:
No fixed releases provided.
Description:
Challenge
When installing Veeam Agent for Linux on a version of CentOS that has reached End of Life, the install fails with messages similar to the following:
Cause
These errors occur when a CentOS version has reached End of Life and its primary mirror list is removed and archived to https://vault.centos.org/. *Similar errors may also occur on CentOS products that have not reached EOL when DNS is not functioning correctly.
Solution
Veeam advises against using a Linux OS that has reached End of Life status. The recommended solution is to migrate to a distro supported by Veeam Agent for Linux that has not reached End of Life.
