How to Set Custom Deployer and Data Mover Ports for Managed Linux Agents
Oops! Something went wrong.
Please, try again later.
Purpose
By default, during the deployment of Veeam Agent for Linux on a Linux machine by Veeam Backup & Replication, the services listed below use the default ports indicated. This article documents how to change those default ports using registry settings on the Veeam Backup Server.
- Veeam Deployer Service (veeamdeployment) - Default Port: 6160
- Veeam Transport Service (veeamtransport) - Default Port: 6162
Solution
Before You Begin
- The custom port will only be assigned to Veeam Agent for Linux deployments that occur after the creation of the registry value.
- There is no failover to the default port if communication fails using the custom port; ensure firewalls are configured accordingly.
- To get the ID# of a Protection Group, use one of the following PowerShell commands:
- To get a list of all Protection Groups and their IDs:
- To get the ID for a specific Protection Group by name:
When a Protection Group begins the process of deploying Veeam Agent for Linux on a Linux machine, it uses the following logic priority to determine which ports should be used by the Deployment Service and Transport Service on that machine:
- Use the custom port specified in the Protection Group-specific registry value if the Protection Group's ID is listed in that registry value.
- Use the custom global port if one is configured in the registry.
- Use the default port.
Veeam Deployer Service (veeamdeployment)
These settings change which port the Veeam Deployer Service binds to.
Protection Group-Specifc Custom Deployer Service Port
Configuring this registry value will cause all new Veeam Agent for Linux deployments for the specified Protection Group(s) (specified by ID#) to use the assigned port.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: AMProtectionGroupCustomDeployerPort
Value Type: Multi-String Value [REG_MULTI_SZ]
Value Data: PG_ID:port
Each line should have PG_ID:port format. For example:
5b065724-eca0-4145-ba18-febcd4767ba1:6164 5d7604ff-92f9-41ee-9f8b-cc9359f0217f:7174
Global (All Protection Groups) Custom Deployer Service Port
Configuring this registry value will cause all new Veeam Agent for Linux deployments managed by Veeam Backup & Replication to use the assigned port.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: AMCustomLinuxDeployerPort
Value Type: DWORD (32-Bit) Value [REG_DWORD]
Value Data: <port_number>
Veeam Transport Service (veeamtransport)
These settings change which port the Veeam Transport Service binds to.
Protection Group-Specifc Custom Transport Service Port
Configuring this registry value will cause all new Veeam Agent for Linux deployments for the specified Protection Group(s) (specified by ID#) to use the assigned port for the Veeam Transport Service.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: AMProtectionGroupCustomDataMoverPort
Value Type: Multi-String Value [REG_MULTI_SZ]
Value Data: PG_ID:port
Each line should have PG_ID:port format. For example:
5b065724-eca0-4145-ba18-febcd4767ba1:6164 5d7604ff-92f9-41ee-9f8b-cc9359f0217f:7174
Global (All Protection Groups) Custom Transport Service Port
Configuring this registry value will cause all new Veeam Agent for Linux deployments managed by Veeam Backup & Replication to use the assigned port the Veeam Transport Service.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: AMCustomDataMoverPort
Value Type: DWORD (32-Bit) Value [REG_DWORD]
Value Data: <port_number>
