Recover a tenant VM from Azure with a size bigger than staging area
During recovery from Azure Backup, backup data from Azure Backup must be temporarily downloaded to a local staging area before it is
r
ecovered to the nal recovery destination.
By default, the staging area is located on the DPM server, at the path E:\StagingArea. By default, the E:\ volume is 2 TB in size. If the VM
that you want to recover is too large for the staging area, you must modify the staging area to point to a larger storage location.
The following procedure shows how to create a VHD on a remote server, and expose it as an iSCSI disk in the DPM server. You can
perform similar steps if you have a storage array network (SAN), or any other storage that can be exposed as an iSCSI target.
Step 1 Create the iSCSI target disk on a server with available storage
On a Windows Server 2012 R2 server that has large available storage, create the iSCSI target disk.
1 Open a Windows PowerShell session, and run the following commands:
Add-WindowsFeature FS-iSCSITarget-Server
Add-WindowsFeature iSCSITarget-VSS-VDS
2 Create the iSCSI target disk.
a Open Server Manager, and click File and Storage Services.
b Click iSCSI.
c In the iSCSI Virtual Disks pane, right-click, and then click New iSCSIVirtual Disk. Follow the wizard to create the iSCSI target.
d On the Access Servers page, when you add the access server, in the Type list, click IP Address, and specify the IP address of
the target DPM server on which you want to do recovery. To obtain the IP address, run the command:
ping <DPM server name> -4
