Prerequisites for configuring virtual machines for recovery to Azure using Resiliency Platform and NetBackup MSDP-C
Before you run the wizard to configure disaster recovery protection for a resiliency group of VMware virtual machines, ensure that you have met the following prerequisites for the virtualization environment:
Virtual machines with non-english names are not supported for recovery to Azure.
VMware Tools must be installed on the virtual machines.
It is recommend that you mount data disks on VMware virtual machines by using the UUID of the file system partition. All entries in
/etc/fstabfile should be using the UUID of the file system partition.Ensure that all the ESXi servers of the cluster belong to the same VMware data center.
If you add new disks, ensure that they are visible from the guest operating system.
If a virtual machine has more than one ethernet adapter, then all of them should have either static IP configuration or DHCP IP configuration. A mix of static and DHCP IP configuration is not supported on the same virtual machine.
All the virtual disks must be connected to the virtual SCSI controllers. Other controller types are not supported.
Ensure that the configuration files (vmx files), residing on the datastores, are not located inside a folder. Also the configuration files must not have any special characters in their names.
Though special characters are allowed in a password, you cannot use space in the password.
On Linux virtual machines, ensure that the NIC name in the file matches with the actual NIC name on the system.
On Linux virtual machines, ensure that all the virtual NICs attached to the selected virtual machines have a valid IP address. The IP address may be assigned statically or via DHCP protocol.
Resiliency Platform does not support the private endpoint of the storage account.
Make sure that following settings are done:
Allow access from All Network should be checked, OR
If the selected network is specified then you should have proper IP address / CIDR (public IP) of the machine (IMS) using the following setting
Storage accounts > {yourAccount} > Firewalls and Virtual networks.
There should not be any resources on Azure having the same name or substring of name as that of the virtual machine display name or FQHN name on on-premises data center.
If the status of the virtual machine on the recovery data center is not correctly displayed, then you need to refresh the cloud discovery or the virtualization server discovery.
