Configure SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc

מאמר
09/09/2024

Applies to: SQL Server

Each Azure Arc-enabled server includes a set of properties that apply to all SQL Server instances installed on that server. You can configure these properties after Azure Extension for SQL Server is installed on the machine. However, the properties take effect only if a SQL Server instance or instances are installed. In the Azure portal, the Overview pane for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc reflects how the SQL Server configuration affects a particular instance.

Prerequisites

You have a Contributor role in at least one of the Azure subscriptions that your organization created. Learn how to create a new billing subscription.
You have a Contributor role for the resource group in which the SQL Server instance will be registered. For details, see Managed Azure resource groups.
The Microsoft.AzureArcData and Microsoft.HybridCompute resource providers are registered in each subscription that you use for SQL Server pay-as-you-go billing.

Register resource providers

To register the resource providers, use one of the following methods:

Select Subscriptions.
Choose your subscription.
Under Settings, select Resource providers.
Search for Microsoft.AzureArcData and Microsoft.HybridCompute, and then select Register.

Run:

Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.AzureArcData

Run:

az provider register --namespace 'Microsoft.AzureArcData'

Modify SQL Server configuration

You can use the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or the Azure CLI to change all or some configuration settings on a specific Azure Arc-enabled server to the desired state.

To modify the SQL Server configuration for a larger scope (such as a resource group, a subscription, or multiple subscriptions) with a single command, use the modify-license-type.ps1 PowerShell script. It's published as an open-source SQL Server sample and includes step-by-step instructions.

We recommend that you run the script from Azure Cloud Shell because:

It has the required Azure PowerShell modules preinstalled.
It automatically authenticates you.

For details, see Running the script using Cloud Shell.

There are two ways to configure the SQL Server host in the Azure portal:

Open the Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server Overview pane, and then select SQL Server Configuration.
Open the Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server Overview pane, and then select Properties. Under SQL Server configuration, select the setting that you need to modify:
- License type
- ESU subscription
- Automated patching

Set the license type property

Choose one of the license types. For descriptions, see License types.

Use a physical core license

Select the Use physical core license checkbox if you're configuring a virtual machine (VM) and you're using the unlimited virtualization benefit for licensing the SQL Server software or for your SQL subscription. It sets the host configuration property UsePhysicalCoreLicense to True. If this checkbox is selected, the physical core (p-core) license takes precedence, and the SQL Server software costs are nullified.

Important

If the p-core license is configured with a pay-as-you-go billing plan, the selected License type value should be Pay-as-you-go. This selection doesn't trigger additional charges at the VM level, but it does ensure uninterrupted licensing and billing if the p-core license is deactivated or deleted.

You can subscribe to Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for the individual host. To qualify for an ESU subscription, the host must have License type set to Pay-as-you-go or License with Software Assurance. This option allows you to subscribe by using vCPUs (v-cores) when the host is a virtual machine, or by using physical cores when the host is a physical server that runs without using virtual machines.

Select Subscribe to Extended Security Updates. It sets the host configuration property EnabelExtendedSecurityUpdates to True. The subscription is activated after you select Save.

For more information about ESU licensing options, see Subscribe to Extended Security Updates in a production environment.

Note

Unlike the p-core ESU license, when you're subscribing to ESUs for a host, you don't need to define the number of billable cores for each machine. Azure Extension for SQL Server detects the size of the host, the type of the host (virtual or physical), and the SQL Server edition. The extension bills according to these parameters.

After you enable ESUs, you can't change the License Type value of the host to License only until the ESU subscription is canceled.

Use a physical core ESU license

Select the Use physical core ESU license checkbox if you're configuring a virtual machine and you're using the unlimited virtualization benefit when enabling the ESU subscription. It sets UseEsuPhysicalCoreLicense to true.

If you select the checkbox, the p-core license takes precedence, and the SQL Server ESU charges at the VM level are nullified.

Unsubscribe from Extended Security Updates

You can cancel Extended Security Updates enabled by Azure Arc at any time. The cancellation immediately stops the ESU charges. Select Unsubscribe from Extended Security Updates. The subscription ends after you select Save.

Add to the excluded instances list

You can exclude certain instances from the at-scale onboarding operations driven by Azure policies or by automatic onboarding processes. To exclude specific instances from these operations, add the instance names to the Skip Instances list. For details about at-scale onboarding options, see Alternate deployment options for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc.

Note

You can't exclude SQL Server instances that use pay-as-you-go billing.

Save the updated configuration

After you verify the license type, ESU setting, and any instance to exclude, select Save to apply changes.

The following command sets the license type to pay-as-you-go (PAYG), which enables the ESU subscription and adds two instances to the exclusion list.

# Updated settings object
$Settings = @{
    SqlManagement = @{ IsEnabled = $true };
    ExcludedSqlInstances = @( "Foo", "Bar");
    LicenseType = "PAYG";
    enableExtendedSecurityUpdates = $True;
    esuLastUpdatedTimestamp = [DateTime]::UtcNow.ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ')
}

# Command stays the same as before; only Settings is changed
New-AzConnectedMachineExtension -Name "WindowsAgent.SqlServer" -ResourceGroupName { your resource group name } -MachineName { your machine name } -Location { azure region } -Publisher "Microsoft.AzureData" -Settings $Settings -ExtensionType "WindowsAgent.SqlServer"

If you have multiple SQL Server instances eligible for ESUs, you can cancel in bulk by using the script to modify the license type. You can use this script to configure the ESU setting for one of these choices:

All Azure Arc-enabled machines a specific resource group
An Azure subscription
All Azure subscriptions that your Azure account has access to

The script preserves all the existing settings. It's published as an open-source SQL Server sample and includes step-by-step instructions.

The following command sets the license type to pay-as-you-go:

az connectedmachine extension update --machine-name "simple-vm" -g "<resource-group>" --name "WindowsAgent.SqlServer" --type "WindowsAgent.SqlServer" --publisher "Microsoft.AzureData" --settings '{"LicenseType":"PAYG", "SqlManagement": {"IsEnabled":true}}'

Warning

The update command overwrites all settings. For example, if your extension settings have a list of excluded SQL Server instances, you must specify the full exclusion list with the update command.

If you already have an older version of the Azure extension installed, be sure to upgrade it first, and then use one the modify methods to set the correct license type. For details, see Automatic extension upgrade for Azure Arc-enabled servers.

Important

The unlimited virtualization benefit for SQL Server software or a SQL Server ESU subscription isn't supported on infrastructure from the listed providers. If you're running SQL Server on a listed provider's VM and you select this option, your intent will be ignored and you'll be charged for the v-cores of the VM.

You can activate the ESU subscription on multiple Azure Arc-enabled machines by using an Azure Policy definition called Subscribe eligible Arc-enabled SQL Servers instances to Extended Security Updates.

When you create an assignment of this policy definition to a scope of your choice, it enables ESUs on all Azure Arc-enabled machines that have Azure Extension for SQL Server installed. If any of these machines have a qualified SQL Server instance, the ESU subscription is activated immediately.

Use the following steps to activate this policy:

In the Azure portal, go to Azure Policy, and then select Definitions.
Search for Subscribe eligible Arc-enabled SQL Servers instances to Extended Security Updates and right-click the policy.
Select Assign policy.
Select a subscription and optionally a resource group as a scope.
Make sure the policy enforcement is set to Enabled.
On the Parameters tab, set the value of Enable Extended Security Updates to True.
On the Remediation tab:
1. Select Create remediation task for this policy to be applied to existing resources. If you don't select this option, the policy is applied to the newly created resources only.
2. Select Create a Managed Identity, and then select System assigned managed identity (recommended) or User assigned managed identity, which has Azure Extension for SQL Server Deployment and Reader permissions.
3. Select the identity's location.
Select Review + Create.
Select Create.

Query the SQL Server configuration

You can use Azure Resource Graph to query the SQL Server configuration settings within a selected scope. See the following examples.

Get the count by license type

This example returns the count by license type:

resources
| where type == "microsoft.hybridcompute/machines/extensions"
| where properties.type in ("WindowsAgent.SqlServer","LinuxAgent.SqlServer")
| extend licenseType = iff(properties.settings.LicenseType == '', 'Configuration needed', properties.settings.LicenseType)
| summarize count() by tostring(licenseType)

Identify instances where the license type is undefined

This query returns a list of instances where the license type is null:

resources
| where type == "microsoft.hybridcompute/machines/extensions"
| where properties.type in ("WindowsAgent.SqlServer","LinuxAgent.SqlServer")
| where isnull(properties.settings.LicenseType)
| project ['id'], resourceGroup, subscriptionId

List configuration details for each SQL Server instance

This query identifies many details about each instance, including the license type, ESU setting, and enabled features:

resources
| where type == "microsoft.hybridcompute/machines"
| where properties.detectedProperties.mssqldiscovered == "true"
| extend machineIdHasSQLServerDiscovered = id
| project name, machineIdHasSQLServerDiscovered, resourceGroup, subscriptionId
| join kind= leftouter (
    resources
    | where type == "microsoft.hybridcompute/machines/extensions"    | where properties.type in ("WindowsAgent.SqlServer","LinuxAgent.SqlServer")
    | extend machineIdHasSQLServerExtensionInstalled = iff(id contains "/extensions/WindowsAgent.SqlServer" or id contains "/extensions/LinuxAgent.SqlServer", substring(id, 0, indexof(id, "/extensions/")), "")
    | project Extension_State = properties.provisioningState,
    License_Type = properties.settings.LicenseType,
    ESU = iff(notnull(properties.settings.enableExtendedSecurityUpdates), iff(properties.settings.enableExtendedSecurityUpdates == true,"enabled","disabled"), ""),
    Extension_Version = properties.instanceView.typeHandlerVersion,
