You can deploy the Resiliency Platform virtual appliances using the following two files provided by Veritas:
-
A PowerShell script that handles the entire deployment of virtual appliances in Azure environment.
-
A text file that has all the parameters required for deployment in Azure environment. You need to update the values assigned to the parameters in the text file. These values are used by the PowerShell script while deploying the virtual appliances.
To deploy the virtual appliances in Azure

-
Log in to the Azure portal and create a general purpose storage account. Create a container with private access type under this storage account. Follow the documentation of Azure to create the storage account and container.

Update the values of all the parameters in the text file according to your environment.
The virtual machine size of the Replication Gateway must be of the premium storage type.
