Configuring DDVE on Azure hot blob storage using DDSM

You can configure DDVE on Azure Hot Blob Storage using the DD System Manager (DDSM) UI.

Prerequisites

  • Review the metadata storage size and count requirements in the Storage Best Practices section.
  • Create the storage account and container for each DDVE. Ensure that the container is empty and remember the container name (you use this name when you create the object-store profile).

About this task

This procedure configures Azure hot blob storage and creates a file system.

Steps

  1. Log in to the DD System Manager with the sysadmin credentials.
  2. Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
    The Configuration wizard opens.
  3. To replace licenses, select Licenses and click Yes (otherwise, the pre-installed 500-GB evaluation license is used.)
    NOTE The DDVE Pre-Installed Evaluation License provides 90 days of full functionality and maximum supported capacity to DDVE software for evaluation purposes and may only be used in a non-production environment.
  4. Select File System and click Yes.
  5. Select Configure Active Tier > Enable Object Store to configure the Azure hot blob storage.
  6. Enter the container name, storage account name, key (not required if using OAuth 2.0), and passphrase.
    You can create the container through the Azure portal. Ensure that the container is empty when enabling object store or the operation fails.
  7. Optional: Import the Baltimore CyberTrust Root certificate to communicate with Azure Object Store.
  8. Add the metadata storage, as shown.
  9. Review the summary and click Submit to create the file system and enable it.
  10. Review the File System creation complete list and click OK.
  11. Read about new components that are available in different releases, then click Close.
  12. Select Data Management > File System to view space usage and availability details for the hot blob storage and the local metadata storage.
  13. To configure or update eLicenses on DDVE, select Licenses > Replace licenses, as shown in the following figure.
  14. To relaunch the configuration wizard, select Maintenance > System > Configure System.
