Dell EMC PowerProtect DDVE in the Azure Cloud 7.8 Installation and Administration Guide

Adding disks in Azure

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have enough licensed capacity available to add new capacity to DDVE.
  • Ensure that the DDVE instance can support the new capacity. If the new capacity is more than the DDVE instance supported capacity, you must upgrade the DDVE instance.
  • New block storage for the DDVE must meet the following requirements:
    • The minimum size of the first data disk is 512 GiB.
    • The minimum size of subsequent data disks is 1 TiB.
    • The recommended size for all data disks is 1 TiB. For example, if 10 TiB of capacity are required, configure 10 x 1 TiB data disks.

About this task

Although DDVE supports Standard HDD and Standard SDD as data disks (for DDVE on block storage) or metadata disks (for DDVE on hot blob storage), Dell EMC recommends Standard HDD disks.

A 10 GiB vNVRAM disk is created automatically after you deploy DDVE in Azure.

Next steps

To add additional storage in the future, follow the requirements above. It is not necessary to shut down the virtual machine before adding storage.
NOTE The virtual disk cannot be resized. Create a new virtual disk to add additional storage to the virtual machine.
