System Requirements for Virtual Server Agent with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

Updated

The following requirements are for the Virtual Server Agent (VSA).

Versions Supported

  • RHEV Manager (RHEV-M or RHEV-H) 4.0, 4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 4.4.x

  • RHEV Hypervisor (RHEV-H or RHV-H) 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.8 (based on the Red Hat Virtualization Life Cycle)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Host (RHEL-H) 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 (x64), 7.8

SCSI Controllers

If you install a VirtIO SCSI driver, ensure that the installed driver is identified as a stable version.

Proxy Operating System

For Red Hat, the proxy computer is always a virtual machine on the Red Hat cluster. You can deploy multiple proxies to provide load distribution for backup operations.

To perform backups of virtual machines configured with VirtIO SCSI disks, enable the VirtIO SCSI option on the VSA proxy VM, and then install the corresponding drivers.

Linux

For Linux proxies, disable automatic activation of volumes to avoid issues with HotAdd operations during backup and recovery. For more information, see Disabling Automatic Activation of Volumes for a Linux Proxy.

  • Oracle Linux version 8.x, 9.x

  • RHEL versions 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, or 8.7

    Note

    For a machine that runs RHEL 8.x, to install operating system packages that are required to enable automatic installation of Mono, register the machine with Red Hat.

Windows

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2025 x64 Editions (Standard, DataCenter, and Core)

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2022 x64 Editions (Standard, DataCenter, and Core)

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (Standard, Datacenter) (64-bit only) x64 Editions (Standard, DataCenter, and Core)
