NOTE
: The runbook Invoke-AzureSiteRecoveryManageVmProtectionJob.ps1 detects subscriptions for plans or add-ons that
have protection enabled, and then enables protection for VMs in those subscriptions. This happens automatically in accordance
with master runbook scheduling. You do not need to take further action.
Step 3 Tenants create resources
To set up VM protection, tenants need to do the following in the Windows Azure Pack management portal for tenants:
1 Subscribe to the plan or add-on—Tenants subscribe to a plan or add-on that has VM protection enabled.
2 Create a virtual machine
—Under the plan subscription, tenants create a VM or VM role on the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for
Microsoft stamp. The VM is created on the associated VMM cloud. The VM owner name is the name of the user who created the
VM.
Step 4 Congure network mapping
You can set up network mapping to map VM networks on the VMM server to Azure virtual networks. These mappings indicate how replica
VMs will be connected after failover. If a failover occurs, all VMs on the same Azure network can connect to each other. Multiple VM
networks on VMM can be mapped to a single Azure network. To do network mapping:
1 In the Microsoft Azure portal, https://portal.azure.com, create an Azure network with the same subnet settings as the VM network on
the on-premises VMM server. For Resource Group, use an existing group, or create a resource group.
For more information, see Create a virtual network using the Azure portal in the Azure documentation. You do not have to add a
second subnet as described in the article.
2 Go to Recovery Services vaults, and then click the name of the vault for the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft deployment.
Look for <Prex>-<DellHybridCloudforMSDeploymentGUID>. The naming convention may vary based on the update version of the
DHCS stamp when onboarding was performed. Check the Release Notes for more information.
TIP: Click Browse, locate Recovery Services vaults in the list, and then click the star icon to add this feature to the left
na
vigation pane.
The vault dashboard is displayed.
