Step 3 Ensure the Windows Azure Pack services are running
Because in this scenario there is no control over the order of the components coming up, Dell recommends that you restart the
in
frastructure VM named <
Prex
>APA01. To do this, follow the steps below.
1 Use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the Console VM with an account that is a member of the <
Prex
>-Setup-Admins
group.
2 Open Failover Cluster Manager.
3 Connect to the compute cluster.
4 Click Roles
, and then restart the <
Prex
>APA01 VM.
Step 4 Ensure that the Windows Azure Pack portals are working
The Windows Azure Pack portals depend on a security token service such as AD FS or an external third-party identity system for your
domain.
Make sure that you can access the Windows Azure Pack management and tenant portals.
Step 5 Ensure that the backup infrastructure is up and running
If the iDRACs are connected, Dell recommends that you use a laptop, con
gured as described earlier in
Preparing your laptop.
1 From the laptop, connect to the IPv4 iDRAC address of one of the backup hosts by using a browser, for example, open https://
192.168.164.150.
2 For each of the backup hosts, do the following:
a To connect to the host and open a virtual console, use the iDRAC.
b Log on with an account that is a member of the <
Prex
>-Setup-Admins group.
c To verify that all the disks are online, run the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Get-Disk, for example:
[s20b01]: PS C:\> Get-Disk
Number Friendly Name OperationalStatus
------ ------------- -----------------
2 Microsoft Virtual Disk Online
0 DELL PERC H730P Mini SCSI Disk Device Online
1 DELL PERC H730P Mini SCSI Disk Device Online
d To verify that all the volumes are healthy, run the
Get-Volume cmdlet. You should see nine volumes with a drive letter and one
volume without a drive letter. Ensure that all are in healthy state, for example:
[s20b01]: PS C:\> Get-Volume
DriveLetter FileSystemLabel FileSystem DriveType HealthStatus
----------- --------------- ---------- --------- ------------
D NTFS Fixed Healthy
H Scratch NTFS Fixed Healthy
I Backup-S20DPM01-1 NTFS Fixed Healthy
J Backup-S20DPM01-2 NTFS Fixed Healthy
