To get started with Virtualize Me for Azure, install the Windows File System Agent on the computer, create a Microsoft Azure or Azure Stack Hub provisioning target, and restore your data.
Before You Begin
-
If your network has firewall topology configured, then create a server group with the network settings required for 1-Touch operations. For more information, see Network Topology.
-
If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.
-
You cannot perform Virtualize Me operations on synthetic full backups on Linux subclients.

Note: To perform job operations such as kill, suspend, or resume, the user must have Job Management capabilities at the CommCell level, as Virtualize Me (vME) jobs are treated as administrative-level operations.
Clients and Client Computer Groups where you installed the Windows or Linux File System Agent.
-
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements of Virtualize Me for Azure.
-
Verify that system state backup is enabled for the default subclient and that the subclient backup content is defined as All or /.
To exclude contents, use global or subclient filters.
In case system state backup is currently disabled for your default subclient, see Configuring System State and 1-Touch Backups for Subclients.
Perform a system state backup.
-
Create a Microsoft Azure or Azure Stack Hub provisioning target.
-
Perform a Virtualize Me operation. Restore your data by converting the client computer to an Azure or Azure Stack Hub instance.
