Creating an Azure storage account

You must have administrative access to an account on Azure.

NOTE: The Microsoft Azure interface is subject to change. For more information, see Azure interface disclaimer.

To perform certain functions (including virtual export from Rapid Recovery Core to an Azure account), you must first create a storage account on Azure.

NOTE: When creating a storage account, many of the options have additional information available by clicking the [Information]information icon. Place your cursor over the icon for more information.

Complete the steps in this procedure to create an Azure storage account.

  1. Open the Microsoft Azure dashboard.
  2. From the left navigation area, click [All resources] All resources.
  3. From the All resources pane, click + Add.
  4. In the New blade, click [New Storage Account]Storage Account.
  5. On the Create storage account page, enter the parameters for your Azure storage account as described in the following table:
    Option Description

    Subscription

    Required. Select the subscription into which you want this storage account to be created.

    Resource group

    Required. Select the resource group in which you want this storage account to be created.

    NOTE: For successful virtual export, this owning resource group must be created using Azure Resource Manager.

    Storage account name

    Required. Provide a clear unique description for your storage account, using between 3 and 24 characters consisting only of lower-case letters and numbers.

    For example, companyabcstorage1.

    Location

    Required. Choose the appropriate Azure region.

    Performance

    Select Standard or Premium.

    Account kind

    Select an account kind. The default, StorageV2 (general purpose v2), is recommended for most scenarios.

    Replication

    Choose a replication strategy for your storage account. The default is Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).

    Access tier (default)

    Choose from Cool or Hot, based on frequency of access.

  6. Optionally, to change the requirement for secure transfer or to associate with a virtual network, click Next: Advanced. Otherwise, skip to step 10.
  7. On the Advanced page, in the Security area, to disable or enable secure transfer, click the appropriate selection. Secure transfer is enabled by default.
  8. Optionally, on the Advanced page, in the Virtual Networks area, to select an existing virtual network associated with your subscription, location, and resource group, from the Virtual network drop-down menu, select a network and skip to step 9. To create a new virtual network associated with this subscription, location, and resource group, do the following:
    1. Under the Virtual network option, click Create new.
    2. On the Create virtual network page, in the Name text field, enter a name for your new virtual network.

      NOTE: Restrict the name to letters, numbers, underscores, periods, or hyphens. See additional name restrictions in the Azure UI.

    3. In the Address Space area, select the default address range to restrict access to IP addresses between 10.1.0.0 and 10.1.255.255. To restrict to a narrower set
    4. In the Subnets area, select a subnet name contained by the address range specified in the previous step. For example, select default.
    5. When satisfied with your virtual network settings, click Create.

      The Advanced page closes and the virtual network you created is selected.

  9. On the Advanced page, in the Virtual Networks area, if you selected an existing virtual network, from the Subnets drop-down menu, select an appropriate subnet for your virtual network.
  10. When satisfied with your storage account details, click Review + create to validate the settings.
  11. If validation errors are found, visit the page with the error, update the parameters you defined, and review again.
  12. When satisfied, click Create.

    You see a message indicating that the deployment of your storage account has started. If toast alerts are active, you see another message when the deployment is completed.

Creating a container in an Azure storage account

The following items are prerequisites:

  • You must have administrative access to an account on Azure.
  • You must have a storage account defined within your Azure account.

When you perform virtual export, the information is stored in a container within an Azure storage account. You can define the container from your Azure account before performing virtual export, using the procedure below.

NOTE: If you do not define containers in advance, you can choose default containers (named export and deploy, respectively)

Complete the steps in this procedure to create a container in an Azure storage account.

  1. Open the Microsoft Azure dashboard.
  2. From the left navigation area, click [All resources] All resources.
  3. From the All resources pane, click the name of the [Storage accounts] storage account in which you want to store data from your Rapid Recovery virtual exports.
  4. In the Settings pane, under Services, click [Blobs] Blobs.
  5. From the top of the Blob service pane, in the header, click + Container.
  6. From the New container pane, in the Name field, type the name for your new container.

    NOTE: Type a name between 3 and 63 characters, using only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

  7. From the New container pane, from the Public access level drop-down menu, select an access level to define whether the container can be accessed publicly. Use the following as guidance.
    Option Description
    Private (no anonymous access) This option restricts the container to the account owner.
    Blob (anonymous read access for blobs only) This option allows public read access for Binary Large Objects (Blobs).
    Container (anonymous read access for containers and blobs) This option allows public read and list access to the entire container.
    For example, select Container (anonymous read access for containers and blobs).
    • Click OK.
      If Toast alerts are active, you should see a message indicating that the container was successfully created.

      The Blob service page refreshes, with the new container name displayed in the list.

Creating an Azure Active Directory web application

Perform these steps before attempting virtual export to Azure.

You must use an Azure Active Directory (AD) web application to serve as a connection between your Rapid Recovery Core and your Azure subscription. After creating the web application, record its application ID, and create a secret key associated with the application.

You should also gather the tenant ID. Finally, associate the appropriate privileges to your web application.

Complete the steps in this procedure to create an Azure AD web application with the appropriate keys and privileges.

  1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [AD] Azure Active Directory and select [App registrations]App registrations.
  2. Click + New application registration.
  3. On the Create page, in the Name field, provide a name for your application. Your name must have at least 4 characters.
  4. From the Application type drop-down field, select Web app / API.
  5. In the Sign-on URL field, enter the URL where a user can sign into Azure and use the app. This value can later be changed, but it must be a valid URL, for example: http://YourAppLogin.com or https://YourSecureAppLogin.net.
  6. When satisfied click Create.

    The details pane for your web application appears.

  7. From the details pane for your web application, copy the Application ID to an easily accessible location (for example, to a Notepad document on your Core server).
  8. From the details page for your web application, click [Settings] Settings.
  9. From the Settings pane, click [Subscriptions] Keys.
  10. From the Keys pane, do the following:
    1. In the Description field, enter a text description to describe the secret key.
    2. From the Expires drop-down menu, select a duration for this secret key, for example, 2 years.
    3. From the top of the Settings pane, click [Save] Save.

      Caution: Immediately record the secret key description and value in a secure location for the long term. If you do not retain the secret key for your Azure AD web application when you create it, it cannot be recovered.

  11. Now obtain the Directory ID for the AD web application (described in the Rapid Recovery Core Console as the Tenant ID) by doing the following:
    1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [AD] Azure Active Directory.
    2. From the Properties pane, scroll down if necessary and click [Properties] Properties.
    3. From the Properties Details pane, copy the Directory ID value to an easily accessible location.
  12. Finally, as an Azure user with administrative privileges, add the Owner role to your web application by doing the following:
    1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [All services] All services.
    2. From the General category, click [Subscriptions] Subscriptions and then click on your Azure subscription.
    3. In the Subscription blade, click [IAM] Access control (IAM), and then click + Add.

      The Add permissions dialog box appears.

    4. From the Role drop-down menu, select Owner.
    5. From the Assign access to drop-down menu, select Azure AD user, group, or application.
    6. From the Select drop-down menu, search for and select the name of your AD web application, and then click Save.

 

Obtaining the application ID for an Azure web application

Complete the steps in this procedure to obtain the application ID for an existing Azure AD web application.

  1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [AD] Azure Active Directory.

    The Overview page appears.

  2. From the Overview page, click [App registrations]App registrations.

    The Application registrations page appears.

  3. Review the list of application registrations, and click the appropriate application.

    The details page for the specified application appears.

  4. Click [Click to Copy]Click to Copy to copy the application ID to your clipboard. Retain this information for connecting your Azure account to your Rapid Recovery Core.
