Solve [error] Neither [blksnap] nor [veeamsnap] module was found on Oracle linux
Raw
solve-blksnap-error-ol9.md

When running veeam agent for linux free on a freshly intalled oracle linux with uek kernel machine I got the error:

[error] Neither [blksnap] nor [veeamsnap] module was found

I'v discovered that the blksnap module not was loaded, it had an error at compilation time, this error was due to the fact that installing veeam through dnf installed dependend kernel-devel package, but the package needed to compile this module on this kind of installations is kernel-uek-devel.

In order to get veeam running execute:

dnf install kernel-uek-devel -y

# Recompile blk snap module
# version number can be get with: sudo veeamagent -v
dkms build -m blksnap -v 6.0.3.1221

# Install blksnap module
dkms install -m blksnap -v 6.0.3.1221

Now veeam jobs should run without problems.
