Before deploying the  host, ensure that you have fulfilled the prerequisites, as described in Microsoft Azure Deployment.

To deploy a host from the Cloud Services Portal, you must first download the .vhd package, and then upload it to the Azure storage account. If you prefer deploying the host using the Azure CLI, ensure that you install the Azure CLI on Linux.

az vm create --resource-group onprem-qa-west --name bloxone-test-vm --os-type Linux --storage-account onpremqa --storage-container testing  --image "https://onpremqa.blob.core.windows.net/testing/bloxone_2.6_b.vhd" --os-disk-name bloxone-test-vm --size Standard_F4s_v2 --admin-username azureuser --admin-password Infoblox@123 --use-unmanaged-disk --location westus --custom-data userdata_1.yaml --public-ip-address ""

  1. Log in to your Azure Portal.
  2. Go to Images, and click Create to create an image from the .vhd package in the storage account.
  3. Enter all the relevant fields. In the Storage blob field, ensure that you navigate to and locate the .vhd file you uploaded to the storage account.
  4. Click Review + Create to review the image before you create it.



  5. Create a virtual machine using the image you created. In the Size field, ensure that you select the supported flavor, which is Standard_F4S.

  6. In the Custom data field, ensure that you add the parameters that are specific to your host. You can download a YML file and customize your user data file. You can then copy the information and paste it here. For information about the YML file and supported parameters, see YML and JSON Templates.
    Note that when you enter the following schema in the Custom data field, ensure that you add a space before the keys you want to include for host_setup. In this case, you must include a space before jointoken, and then enter the join token value you obtained from the Cloud Services Portal. For information about how to obtain a join token, see Creating Join Tokens.
       #cloud-config
       host_setup:
        jointoken: your BloxOne join token



    Optionally, you can use custom data with http proxy as shown below.
    Note that when you enter the following schema in the Custom data field, ensure that you include a space before any keys you want to include for host_setup. In this case, you must include a space before jointoken and access_https_proxy, and then enter the values for the respective keys. For information about how to obtain a join token, see Creating Join Tokens.
       #cloud-config
       host_setup:
        jointoken: your BloxOne join token
             access_https_proxy: 'URL of your proxy server'

  7. Click Review + Create to launch the host.
  8. To check the current status of the host, you can go to Manage > Hosts in the Cloud Services Portal. For more information about the host status, see Viewing Host Status.
