Update the SQL resource provider

Artikkel
04/24/2024

Important

Starting from Azure Stack Hub build 2108, the SQL and MySQL resource providers are offered to subscriptions that have been granted access. If you want to start using this feature, or if you need to upgrade from a previous version, open a support case and our support engineers will guide you through the deployment or upgrade process.

Important

Before updating the resource provider, review the release notes to learn about new functionality, fixes, and any known issues that could affect your deployment. The release notes also specify the minimum Azure Stack Hub version required for the resource provider.

Important

Updating the resource provider will NOT update the hosting SQL Server.

A new SQL resource provider might be released when Azure Stack Hub is updated to a new build. Although the existing resource provider continues to work, we recommend updating to the latest build as soon as possible.

Supported Azure Stack Hub version	SQL RP version	Windows Server that RP service is running on
2206, 2301, 2306, 2311	SQL RP version 2.0.13.x	Microsoft AzureStack Add-on RP Windows Server 1.2009.0
2108, 2206	SQL RP version 2.0.6.x	Microsoft AzureStack Add-on RP Windows Server 1.2009.0

Update SQL Server resource provider V2

If you have already deployed SQL RP V2, and want to check for updates, check How to apply updates to resource provider.

If you want to update from SQL RP V1 to SQL RP V2, make sure you have first updated to SQL RP V1.1.93.x, then apply the major version upgrade process to upgrade from SQL RP V1 to SQL RP V2.

Update from SQL RP V1.1.93.x to SQL RP V2.0.6.0

Prerequisites

Make sure you have updated SQL RP V1 to the latest 1.1.93.x. Under Default Provider Subscription, find the RP resource group (naming format: system.<region>.sqladapter). Confirm the version tag and SQL RP VM name in resource group. If you are still on an old version and need to update to 1.1.93.x, open a support case for help.
open a support case to get the MajorVersionUpgrade package, and add your subscription to the ASH marketplace allowlist for the future V2 version.
Download Microsoft AzureStack Add-On RP Windows Server 1.2009.0 to marketplace.
Ensure datacenter integration prerequisites are met.

Prerequisite	Reference
Conditional DNS forwarding is set correctly.	Azure Stack Hub datacenter integration - DNS
Inbound ports for resource providers are open.	Azure Stack Hub datacenter integration - Ports and protocols inbound
PKI certificate subject and SAN are set correctly.	Azure Stack Hub deployment mandatory PKI prerequisites Azure Stack Hub deployment PaaS certificate prerequisites

(for disconnected environment) Install the required PowerShell modules, similar to the update process used to Deploy the resource provider.

Trigger MajorVersionUpgrade

Run the following script from an elevated PowerShell console to perform major version upgrade.

Note

Make sure the client machine that you run the script on is of OS version no older than Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, and the client machine has X64 Operating System Architecture.

Important

We strongly recommend using Clear-AzureRmContext -Scope CurrentUser and Clear-AzureRmContext -Scope Process to clear the cache before running the deployment or update script.

# Check Operating System version
$osVersion = [environment]::OSVersion.Version
if ($osVersion.Build -lt 10240)
{
    Write-Host "OS version is too old: $osVersion."
    return
}

$osArch = (Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).OSArchitecture
if ($osArch -ne "64-bit")
{
    Write-Host "OS Architecture is not 64 bit."
    return
}

# Check LongPathsEnabled registry key
$regPath = 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem'
$longPathsEnabled = 'LongPathsEnabled'
$property = Get-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name $longPathsEnabled -ErrorAction Stop
if ($property.LongPathsEnabled -eq 0)
{
    Write-Host "Detect LongPathsEnabled equals to 0, prepare to set the property."
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name $longPathsEnabled -Value 1 -ErrorAction Stop
    Write-Host "Set the long paths property, please restart the PowerShell."
    return
} 

# Use the NetBIOS name for the Azure Stack Hub domain. 
$domain = "YouDomain" 

# For integrated systems, use the IP address of one of the ERCS VMs
$privilegedEndpoint = "YouDomain-ERCS01"

# Provide the Azure environment used for deploying Azure Stack Hub. Required only for Azure AD deployments. Supported values for the <environment name> parameter are AzureCloud, AzureChinaCloud, or AzureUSGovernment depending which Azure subscription you're using.
$AzureEnvironment = "AzureCloud"

# Point to the directory where the resource provider installation files were extracted.
$tempDir = 'C:\extracted-folder\MajorVersionUpgrade-SQLRP'

# The service admin account can be Azure Active Directory or Active Directory Federation Services.
$serviceAdmin = "admin@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com"
$AdminPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'xxxxxxxx' -AsPlainText -Force
$AdminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($serviceAdmin, $AdminPass)

# Add the cloudadmin credential that's required for privileged endpoint access.
$CloudAdminPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'xxxxxxxx' -AsPlainText -Force
$CloudAdminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("$domain\cloudadmin", $CloudAdminPass)

# Change the following as appropriate.
$PfxPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'xxxxxxx' -AsPlainText -Force

# Provide the pfx file path
$PfxFilePath = "C:\tools\sqlcert\SSL.pfx"

# PowerShell modules used by the RP MajorVersionUpgrade are placed in C:\Program Files\SqlMySqlPsh
# The deployment script adds this path to the system $env:PSModulePath to ensure correct modules are used.
$rpModulePath = Join-Path -Path $env:ProgramFiles -ChildPath 'SqlMySqlPsh'
$env:PSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath + ";" + $rpModulePath 

. $tempDir\MajorVersionUpgradeSQLProvider.ps1 -AzureEnvironment $AzureEnvironment -AzCredential $AdminCreds -CloudAdminCredential $CloudAdminCreds -Privilegedendpoint $privilegedEndpoint -PfxPassword $PfxPass -PfxCert $PfxFilePath

Note

The DNS address and the corresponding IP address of SQL RP V2 are different. To get the new public IP, you can contact support to require a DRP break glass and find the SQLRPVM1130-PublicIP resource. You can also run "nslookup sqlrp.dbadapter.<fqdn>" from a client machine that already passed the endpoint test to find out the public IP.

Validate the upgrade is successful

The MajorVersionUpgrade script executed without any errors.
Check the resource provider in marketplace and make sure that SQL RP 2.0 has been installed successfully.
The old system.<location>.sqladapter resource group and system.<location>.dbadapter.dns resource group in the default provider subscription will not be automatically deleted by the script.

We recommend keeping the Storage Account and the Key Vault in the sqladapter resource group for some time. If after the upgrade, any tenant user observes inconsistent database or login metadata, it is possible to get support to restore the metadata from the resource group.
After verifying that the DNS Zone in the dbadapter.dns resource group is empty with no DNS record, it is safe to delete the dbadapter.dns resource group.
[IMPORTANT] Do not use the V1 deploy script to uninstall the V1 version. After upgrade completed and confirmation that the upgrade was successful, you can manually delete the resource group from the provider subscription.

Update from SQL RP V1 earlier version to SQL RP V1.1.93.x

SQL resource provider V1 update is cumulative. You can directly update to the 1.1.93.x version.

To update the resource provider to 1.1.93.x, use the UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 script. Use your service account with local administrative rights and is an owner of the subscription. This update script is included with the download of the resource provider.

The update process is similar to the process used to Deploy the resource provider. The update script uses the same arguments as the DeploySqlProvider.ps1 script, and you'll need to provide certificate information.

Update script processes

The UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 script creates a new virtual machine (VM) with the latest OS image, deploy the latest resource provider code, and migrates the settings from the old resource provider to the new resource provider.

Note

We recommend that you download the Microsoft AzureStack Add-on RP Windows Server 1.2009.0 image from Marketplace Management. If you need to install an update, you can place a single MSU package in the local dependency path. The script will fail if there's more than one MSU file in this location.

After the UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 script creates a new VM, the script migrates the following settings from the old resource provider VM:

database information
hosting server information
required DNS record

Important

We strongly recommend using Clear-AzureRmContext -Scope CurrentUser and Clear-AzureRmContext -Scope Process to clear the cache before running the deployment or update script.

Update script parameters

You can specify the following parameters from the command line when you run the UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 PowerShell script. If you don't, or if any parameter validation fails, you're prompted to provide the required parameters.

Parameter name	Description	Comment or default value
CloudAdminCredential	The credential for the cloud admin, necessary for accessing the privileged endpoint.	Required
AzCredential	The credentials for the Azure Stack Hub service admin account. Use the same credentials that you used for deploying Azure Stack Hub. The script will fail if the account you use with AzCredential requires multifactor authentication (MFA).	Required
VMLocalCredential	The credentials for the local admin account of the SQL resource provider VM.	Required
PrivilegedEndpoint	The IP address or DNS name of the privileged endpoint.	Required
AzureEnvironment	The Azure environment of the service admin account which you used for deploying Azure Stack Hub. Required only for Microsoft Entra deployments. Supported environment names are AzureCloud, AzureUSGovernment, or if using a China Microsoft Entra ID, AzureChinaCloud.	AzureCloud
DependencyFilesLocalPath	You must also put your certificate .pfx file in this directory.	Optional for single node, but mandatory for multi-node
DefaultSSLCertificatePassword	The password for the .pfx certificate.	Required
MaxRetryCount	The number of times you want to retry each operation if there's a failure.	2
RetryDuration	The timeout interval between retries, in seconds.	120
Uninstall	Removes the resource provider and all associated resources.	No
DebugMode	Prevents automatic cleanup on failure.	No

Update script PowerShell example

If you are updating the SQL resource provider version to 1.1.33.0 or previous versions, you need to install specific versions of AzureRm.BootStrapper and Azure Stack Hub modules in PowerShell.

If you are updating the SQL resource provider to version 1.1.47.0 or later, you can skip this step. The deployment script will automatically download and install the necessary PowerShell modules for you to path C:\Program Files\SqlMySqlPsh.

Note

If folder C:\Program Files\SqlMySqlPsh already exists with PowerShell module downloaded, it is recommended to clean up this folder before running the update script. This is to make sure the right version of PowerShell module is downloaded and used.

# Run the following scripts when updating to version 1.1.33.0 only.
# Install the AzureRM.Bootstrapper module, set the profile, and install the AzureStack module.
# Note that this might not be the most currently available version of Azure Stack Hub PowerShell.
Install-Module -Name AzureRm.BootStrapper -Force
Use-AzureRmProfile -Profile 2018-03-01-hybrid -Force
Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.6.0

Note

In disconnected scenario, you need to download the required PowerShell modules and register the repository manually as a prerequisite. You can get more information in Deploy SQL resource provider

The following is an example of using the UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 script that you can run from an elevated PowerShell console. Be sure to change the variable information and passwords as needed:

# Use the NetBIOS name for the Azure Stack Hub domain. On the Azure Stack Hub SDK, the default is AzureStack but this might have been changed at installation.
$domain = "AzureStack"

# For integrated systems, use the IP address of one of the ERCS VMs.
$privilegedEndpoint = "AzS-ERCS01"

# Provide the Azure environment used for deploying Azure Stack Hub. Required only for Azure AD deployments. Supported values for the <environment name> parameter are AzureCloud, AzureChinaCloud, or AzureUSGovernment depending which Azure subscription you're using.
$AzureEnvironment = "<EnvironmentName>"

# Point to the directory where the resource provider installation files were extracted.
$tempDir = 'C:\TEMP\SQLRP'

# The service admin account (this can be Azure AD or AD FS).
$serviceAdmin = "admin@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com"
$AdminPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'P@ssw0rd1' -AsPlainText -Force
$AdminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($serviceAdmin, $AdminPass)

# Set the credentials for the new resource provider VM.
$vmLocalAdminPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'P@ssw0rd1' -AsPlainText -Force
$vmLocalAdminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("sqlrpadmin", $vmLocalAdminPass)

# Add the cloudadmin credential required for privileged endpoint access.
$CloudAdminPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'P@ssw0rd1' -AsPlainText -Force
$CloudAdminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("$domain\cloudadmin", $CloudAdminPass)

# Change the following as appropriate.
$PfxPass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'P@ssw0rd1' -AsPlainText -Force

# For version 1.1.47.0 or later, the PowerShell modules used by the RP deployment are placed in C:\Program Files\SqlMySqlPsh
# The deployment script adds this path to the system $env:PSModulePath to ensure correct modules are used.
$rpModulePath = Join-Path -Path $env:ProgramFiles -ChildPath 'SqlMySqlPsh'
$env:PSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath + ";" + $rpModulePath

# Change directory to the folder where you extracted the installation files.
# Then adjust the endpoints.
. $tempDir\UpdateSQLProvider.ps1 -AzCredential $AdminCreds -VMLocalCredential $vmLocalAdminCreds -CloudAdminCredential $cloudAdminCreds -PrivilegedEndpoint $privilegedEndpoint -AzureEnvironment $AzureEnvironment -DefaultSSLCertificatePassword $PfxPass -DependencyFilesLocalPath $tempDir\cert

When the resource provider update script finishes, close the current PowerShell session.
