You need to identify which services the Proxy is using.įirst, check which Veeam Services is installed in the Proxy by checking Windows Services.
Then is where we need to install and update these components manually in the Proxy directly. The above error happens for the first and second example since Veeam Server cannot contact Veeam Proxy to perform this type of update (firewall rules, different networks VLANs, etc.). Meaning, Veeam was not able to connect to admin shares ADMIN$ (\\hostname\admin$) on the Guest OS Proxy.Įven we have a connection between both (Veeam Server and Proxy) is not possible to upgrade the components. Veeam will start to install and upgrade the Veeam Proxy components.
However, in the two examples above is where we can get some issues to update the Proxy components in some unique proxies that we have in our environment we get an error. In this case, we have two Veeam Proxy that needs to be updated, and it is not possible to update remotely. Right mouse click, and you have the option to upgrade automatically. However, if we click cancel and choose not to update automatically and continue to use Veeam Server, we can do the update later on.Īs we can see in the next image if you go to Backup Infrastructure tab in the Backup Proxies Option and Out of Date we can see the list of Proxies in our infrastructure that needs to be updated.
There is why we need to understand how to update Veeam Proxy manually.Īfter we update Veeam Server the first time we launch Veeam Backup & Replication Console, a window will pop up and show us all the Proxies that Veeam will upgrade their components. It could be that the Proxy is located in a Cloud environment, in a DMZ area, etc., and is not reachable for the automatic updates (even is reachable for backups). This is an automatic process however, sometimes, Veeam Server cannot update some Proxies automatically. That means all Veeam Servers and also Proxies Veeam components.
When Veeam launches a new version or a patch, we need to update our Veeam infrastructure. In this blog post, we will explain how to update Veeam Proxy manually when it is not possible to update automatically.
