Configure Azure NetApp Files

Contributors netapp-soumikd netapp-nsriram netapp-bcammett

Using BlueXP you should create a Azure NetApp Files working environment to add and manage volumes and additional data services. You should also create a Connector in Azure that enables BlueXP to manage resources and processes within your public cloud environment.

Create Azure NetApp Files working environment

You should create Azure NetApp Files working environments where your databases are hosted. For more information, refer to Learn about Azure NetApp Files and Create an Azure NetApp Files working environment.

Create a connector

A BlueXP account admin should deploy a Connector in Azure that enables BlueXP to manage resources and processes within your public cloud environment.

For information, refer to Create a Connector in Azure from BlueXP.

  • Ensure that there is connectivity from the connector to the database hosts.

  • If you have the Azure NetApp Files working environment and databases in the same Virtual Network (VNet), you can deploy the connector in the same VNet.

  • If you have the Azure NetApp Files working environment and databases in different VNets and have NAS (NFS) workloads configured on Azure NetApp Files, then you can create the connector on either of the VNets.

After creating the connector, add the working environment by clicking Storage > Canvas > My Working Environments > Add Working Environment.
