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

Converting unmanaged to managed disks

If the DDVE is using unmanaged disks for metadata disks, convert the metadata disks into managed disks.

1. Use SSH to log in to the DDVE.
2. Shut down the DDVE with this CLI command:

   System poweroff

3. Sign in to the Azure portal.
4. Select the DDVE from the list of VMs in the portal.
5. If the DDVE is not in stopped (deallocated) status, click Stop in the VM Overview pane, and wait for the DDVE to stop.
6. In the blade for the VM, select Disks from the menu.
7. At the top of the Disks blade, select Migrate to managed disks.
8. If the DDVE is in an availability set, a warning on the Migrate to managed disks blade directs you to convert the availability set. To convert the availability set, click the link in the warning. Once the availability set is converted, or if your DDVE is not in an availability set, click Migrate to start migrating your disks to managed disks.
9. After migration is complete, restart the DDVE.
10. To convert all the metadata disks from unmanaged to managed disks, repeat these steps.
