Deploy App Volumes Agent through Azure Marketplace

You can use the Marketplace offer to deploy a virtual machine with pre-installed App Volumes agent. This Azure virtual machine can be used as a capture machine to package App Volumes applications or to create an image which can be used to create an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pool.

Prerequisite

• You must have already installed App Volumes Manager. For more information about the App Volumes Manager deployment in Azure, see Workflow for deploying App Volumes Manager using Azure Marketplace.

• Ensure that you have the App Volumes Manager IP address and port number handy.

• After the deployment, some Azure resources such as Azure virtual machine, public IP address, Azure virtual network and so on are created. For a better understanding of these Azure resources, see Azure Resources Created After App Volumes Agent Deployment on Azure.

Procedure

1. In the Create App Volumes Agent Solution window, navigate through each of these tabs and enter the required information.

2. In the Basics tab, enter the following:

   Fields	Values
   Project Details	To manage deployed resources, select the Subscription and Resource group. Alternately, you can also create a new resource group.
   Instance details	Enter the Azure Region. Enter the name of the virtual machine in which App Volumes agent is deployed. Enter the credentials (user name and password) for the local administrator. Confirm the password. You can use these credentials to remote desktop into the virtual machine. Select a Windows OS image for the virtual machine. To change the default size of the virtual machine, click Virtual machine size. To create a public IP address for the virtual machine, click Create new. Alternately, select any existing IP address for the virtual machine. By default, a new public IP address is created. Note: If you do not want to use a public IP address for the virtual machine, select None. Depending on the public IP address created previously, you can create a DNS prefix for the public IP address. Select an existing virtual network and the corresponding subnet. By default, a new virtual network and a corresponding subnet are created.

3. Click Next.

4. In the App Volumes Agent configuration tab, enter the following:

   Fields	Values
   Login with Microsoft Entra ID	Optional: If you want to verify the connection between App Volumes agent and App Volumes Manager, select the checkbox. After the deployment is finished, you must use your Entra ID credentials to log into the virtual machine which has App Volumes agent installed. If this checkbox is not selected, then you must use the username and password as specified in the Instance details tab at the time of creating a virtual machine.
   App Volumes Manager FQDN/IP	Enter the IP address of the App Volumes Manager to which the App Volumes agent virtual machine must connect.
   App Volumes Manager Port	Enter the port number.
   Additional Parameters	If you want to provide additional parameters as part of the installation, use this text box.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Tags tab, create the desired tags.

7. Click Review+Create.

8. To start the deployment, click Create.

The Azure Marketplace offer deploys all or some of the resources: Azure virtual machine, public IP address, virtual network, network interface, network security group, and virtual network.

What To Do Next

For troubleshooting, you can access the script and setup log files at C:\ProgramData\Omnissa\AppVolumes\Log in this virtual machine.
