How to create a AVE in Azure of 1 TB ?
Dear All,
I understand that AVE can be configured in Azure on an A5 machine with 1700 GB of usable space with 2 vCPUs and 6 GB RAM. I have an A5 machine which fulfills all these criterion. The install guide also says that I need to create six partitions of 250 GB each, but microsoft link at Linux VM sizes | Microsoft Azure says that there can be only 4 SCSI devices attached to a particular VM. Am I missing something ?? This is for the first time I am installing AVE on Azure....
No Events found!

OK, I installed 1 TB AVE on A5 machine itself with three disk drives each with 500 GB usable space. I just ran the ave-part.pl command and it all worked fine. Support also confirmed that installation is OK. Though we should edit the installation documentation guide of AVE with Azure.

It should not matter how many devices you add as long as it can accommodate the size and space needs. It needs those partitions for when it builds out AVE, Avamar will have Data0? Partitions, along with one for OS and utilities. If you have one .vmdk that’s 1-2tb, and you cut it up into the applicable slices it will be fine.

Thanks Richard for the link, but I read the guide and in the guide it says that for creating a 1 TB AVE on Azure I need an A5 machine with six storage partitions each of 250 GB, at Microsoft site at Linux VM sizes | Microsoft Azure it says in an A5 machine we cannot add more than 4 SCSI devices. Does that mean I can add 4 devices of say 500 GB each to my VM (AVE) and create six virtual storage partition of 250 GB ... is this what it means... Thanks a ton...
