Table: Steps for configuring Alta Recovery Vault for Azure and Azure Government

Steps	Task	Instructions
Step 1	Retrieve credentials.	Retrieve the Alta Recovery Vault credentials from your Cohesity NetBackup account manager.
Step 2	(Optional) Create an MSDP storage server if one does not exist.	See Configuring media server deduplication in NetBackup.
Step 3	Add a disk pool.	In the NetBackup web UI, create a disk pool. Follow the procedure in Create a disk pool in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. In the Volumes step: Select the option of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault Azure or Veritas Alta Recovery Vault Azure Government from the Cloud storage provider drop-down. Select the appropriate region. In the Associate credentials section, select Add a New Credential and enter the Storage account and a Refresh token provided by the provisioning team. Or, you can use Select existing credentials if credentials exist for Azure. The Credential name must use alphanumeric characters with hyphens or underscores and cannot contain spaces or illegal characters. Veritas Alta Recovery Vault Azure provides the following two storage classes: Alta Recovery Vault Standard - AZURE Alta Recovery Vault Archive - AZURE Select the appropriate storage tier depending on the storage deployment. The actual storage tier is determined by the NetBackup during the configuration. Note: You may see a container named `alta-recovery-vault-azure-29cb2539-39ce-427e-8e72-48bf62177bc3` that is created for NetBackup use. Ensure that you do not create a bucket with the same name. If you create a bucket with the same name, the disk pool configuration fails.
Step 4	Add a storage unit.	In the NetBackup web UI, create a storage unit. Follow the procedure in Create a storage unit in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. When you create the storage unit, select the Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) option. In the Disk pool step, select the disk pool that was created in Step 3.

Note:

If an update to the refresh token for an existing storage account is needed, you must edit the credentials that are associated with the storage account. Use the web UI and update the refresh token within Credential management.

You cannot have multiple credentials for the same storage account. Credentials must be unique to the storage account. If you do not have unique credentials, you can encounter issues such as the disk volume going down or backup and restore failures to that disk volume.

Note:

Use the original storage account to update the Veritas Alta Recovery Vault CMS credentials.
