With this con
guration, VMs that are located on an on-premises Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp replicate and fail over to
Azure VMs. Replication and failover is orchestrated by Azure Site Recovery. Data is stored in an Azure storage account.
Step 1 Onboard to Azure Site Recovery
You can opt in to Azure Site Recovery only after Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft deployment has completed. Azure onboarding is
no
t supported during initial deployment.
Pre-requisites:
• Internet access is required. You must have an internet connection available for the solution to use.
• You must have a valid Azure account to a subscription prior to con
guring this feature.
If you opted in to Azure Site Recovery during Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft installation, protection is already enabled for the
de
fault plan (TenantPlan) in Windows Azure Pack.
Follow these steps at any time after the deployment has completed. You then need to opt in to connect to Azure services.
To onboard to Azure Site Recovery after initial deployment:
NOTE
: You need an active Azure subscription for the region in which you are deploying. For instance, a US-based Azure
subscription may not show EMEA or APJ regions, and vice versa. Ensure with the customer that the credentials that they have
provided are for an active Azure subscription and local to the region in which they want to onboard. Any credentials given must
have an Azure subscription tied to them.
1 RDP to
<Prex>
CON01 with domain credentials (such as, a member of
<Prex>
-Setup-Admins).
2 Launch the Deployment UI (Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft).
The UI recognizes that initial deployment has completed, and requests your Active Directory information.
