Adding a cloud account

Before you can move data in either direction between a cloud account and your Core, you must add cloud provider account information to the Rapid Recovery Core Console. This information identifies the cloud account in the Core Console while caching the connection information securely. This process then lets Rapid Recovery Core connect to the cloud account to perform the operations you specify.

To add a cloud account, complete the steps in the following procedure.

  1. On the Rapid Recovery Core Console icon bar, click the [More] (More) icon and then select [Cloud accounts]Cloud Accounts.
    The Cloud Accounts page appears.
  2. On the Cloud Accounts page, click + Add New Account.

    The Add New Account dialog box opens.

  3. Select a compatible cloud provider from the Cloud type drop-down list.
  4. Enter the details described in the following table based on the cloud type selected in step 3. Since the table is listed and organized by cloud type, the Cloud Type parameter is listed in the first column instead of the Text Box column.

    NOTE: In Rapid Recovery release 6.8, two Microsoft Azure cloud types are included on the Cloud Accounts page. Azure Service Management (ASM) specifically supports archiving to Azure. Azure Resource Management (ARM) supports virtual export to Azure. If using both archiving and virtual export to Azure in Rapid Recovery Core release 6.3, you are required to set up a cloud account for each.
