Hi, I'm Ellie Persson from Dell Technologies. In this video, I'm going to show you how to configure the cloud DRAO, the CD array, and deploy to Microsoft Azure. After you deploy the CD array from the OVA file you downloaded from Dell.com, log into the web UI and change the default password. Click on configuration. The first tab appears and you're asked to provide a name for the CDRA, time zone, optionally domain, DNS server, and at least one NTP server.
The extended network configuration options allow you to add an IPV6, configure the second network interface card, and configure a proxy server for traffic going to the cloud. Click save and then on cloud account tab. Click on the add cloud account button. For Azure and Azure government, you need to provide your Azure Active Director ID and the ID of an application that should be created in the Azure Active directory. The application should be assigned with the contributor role on the entire Azure subscription level. Provide the client secret of the application. And select the subscription as the application can be assigned in more than one subscription. Click verify and save.
The account status changes to Connected. Now add at least one cloud target. A cloud target is a configuration of a storage account, and its region determines the region that the cloudyard server will be deployed on, and the deployment files will be stored on it. Add another cloud target from a different region. Then click on the cloudier Server tab. Select the cloud target you want. You can deploy the CDRS in a new VET and a new public subnet or select an existing VET for cases where you want to deploy your CDRS in VETs that are connected to your on-premises with a VPN connection or express route. Select to create a new subnet or use an existing subnet. Either way, the initial deployment will create the CDRS with a public IP that can be removed after the deployment. You can change the IP addresses and the range for new subnets.
Make sure to check the advanced networking demo for additional details on how to configure and use the CDRS with VPN and private IPs. Provide a password for the admin and monitor built-in users, and a valid email address that could be reached to reset forgotten passwords. Click on deploy cloudyR server. While the cloud ER server and the infrastructure is deploying, you can log in to www.dll.com/support to find the cloud ER best practices white paper. It contains information, recommendations and tips for pre-deployment, planning, and advanced usage of cloud ER. After the deployment has successfully completed, the page displays the public address of the cloudier server. Clicking on it will open the CDRS in a new browser tab. Click on the Venter servers tab and add the Venter surrounding the VMC one to protect. Provide the IP or FKDN. Word, username and password. And click save and Connect. Review the VCs as a sale certificate and confirm.
The recovery staging area allows you to recover VMs from the cloud back to this VC. Select the data sources that the VM could use, the network, and provide a range of IP addresses in order to download data from the cloud, as well as the subnet mask and gateway. You can also enable this VC for direct failovers. Make sure to watch the recovery demo for additional information. Click save then local backup. Click on add backup server to configure your Aar servers. Provide the IP or FQDN. Use the MC user and provide its password. Then click save and Connect. Once connected to the AMR server, click on the Connect DD button.
The configured DD systems on the AMR server are listed here. Select the one you want to CDR to connect to and provide its DD Boost user's password. Then click connect. Don't forget to use the user management page to configure the admin user email address in case you'll need to recover your CDRA password. Your cloud configuration and CD array are ready, and you can start protecting your VMs to the cloud. Thank you for watching this demo.
