Deploying the virtual appliances in Azure Stack using PowerShell script
To know about virtual appliances in Veritas Resiliency Platform:
See About deploying the Resiliency Platform virtual appliances.
You can deploy Resiliency Platform virtual appliances using the following two files provided by Veritas along with the product files:
See Downloading the Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliances.
A PowerShell script that handles the entire deployment of virtual appliances in Azure Stack environment.
A text file that has all the parameters required for deployment in Azure Stack environment. You need to update the values assigned to the parameters in the text file. These values are used by the PowerShell script while deploying the virtual appliances
To deploy the virtual appliances in Azure
- Ensure that the prerequisites for deploying virtual appliances in Azure Stack are met.
See Prerequisites for deploying the virtual appliances in Azure and Azure Stack.
- Log in to the Azure Stack portal and create a general purpose storage account (and not account type as blob storage). Create a container with private access type under this storage account. Follow the documentation of Azure to create the storage account and container.
- Create a static network interface for the virtual appliance. A static network interface in Azure ensures that the IP of the appliance does not change after reboot.
- Download or copy the Azure deployment files on your local Windows system.
- Update the values of all the parameters in the text file
