Use this procedure to configure DDVE in Azure with the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Steps
Use SSH to log in to the DDVE instance with sysadmin credentials.
If you did not specify a password during deployment, when you log in for the first time, you must change the password.
The initial configuration wizard starts.
Press Enter to dismiss all wizard options, exit the wizard, and complete the configuration by using CLI commands.
Proceed as shown in the following figure:
#ssh -l sysadmin <DDVE IP address>

Use
# storage object-store enable to enable object store.
# storage object-store enable
Object-store is enabled.
Enter values for the following to create the Object store:
System Passphrase—Required to encrypt the object store credentials. It will also will be used to encrypt keys if file system encryption is enabled. If the passphrase has already been set, the user is not prompted to enter a passphrase.
Account Name—If no account exists, create one first.
Primary Key—Storage account > access keys (not required if using OAuth 2.0 mode).
Container Name—Create a container under the storage account. The container must be empty or the operation fails.
Baltimore Cyber Trust Root—This certificate is required to communicate with the object store. Import it for the profile creation to succeed.
NOTE The Baltimore Cyber Trust Root might not appear when object-store is enabled (because all certificates are imported once).
# storage object-store profile set
