Considerations of OVA deployments include the following:
- PowerProtect Data Manager can be deployed to on-premises virtual hosts or to cloud-based environments that include VMware Cloud on Dell, VMware Cloud (VMC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Azure VMware Solution (AVS) on Microsoft Azure & Oracle Cloud VMware Solution.
- OVAs are deployed using the vSphere Client.
- Deployed PowerProtect Data Manager instances do not detect their environment. The environment must be manually selected during the deployment process for the instances to be appropriately configured.
- PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE cannot be deployed simultaneously from the same interface.
