Note: This solution was validated for Windows based virtual machines.
- The automation script in this solution works by matching Azure VM names to the provisioned object names in Everpure Cloud Dedicated management. Therefore, for Step 3 of the Prerequisites section, you must keep the naming of the created Hosts and Volumes on Everpure Cloud Dedicated management same as the Azure VM names.
- In order for this solution to work seamlessly in an automated fashion for both failover and failback scenarios, it must perform the first failover test to the secondary region manually and configure the protected VMs with the second Everpure Cloud Dedicated iSCSi target. This configuration will remain a part of the VM OS configuration and during failover drill the VM can auto-connect to the iSCSI target. Follow Connect hosts via iSCSI and repeat Step 3 of the Prerequisites section.
- Check Operating System support matrix before adding Azure VM. Not all Linux kernel versions are supported with ASR mobility agent. Check Azure to Azure support matrix .
