VM Agent Installation Error

Product Version: 10.10

Last Modified: 13 July 2023

Problem

VM agent creation fails with the error:

The ”Install agent” action using VM failed. Reason: "sudo" utility is not installed.

Background

Sudo is required for installing the VM agent, but some OSes do not have it installed by default.

If the target VM has no sudo installed, the backup job may fail.

Solution

Make sure that sudo is installed on the target VM.
