When you migrate the application, you specify both the Azure Virtual Machine Image (template) and the Azure Resource Manager instance.
Commvault software creates a new virtual machine instance in the Azure cloud.
If you use and need additional storage for data, you can add a new storage device for the new or existing instance.
