Azure stack HCI 22H2 upgraded to 22H3 - how to deploy resource bridge?

Jamy Smith 0

We have an azure stack hci (now azure local) cluster deployed. I'd like to enable azure resource bridge now that the cluster has been upgraded to 23H2. I'm not finding a documented process for this. Is it possible to? Or do I have to destroy the cluster and re-deploy with 23H2?

There are documented procedures for deploying Azure Resource Bridge on VMware, for SCVMM etc but not for Deploying to an already deployed Azure Stack HCI cluster.

Hi Jamy Smith,
Thank for patience while we are reviewing your query.
Based upon your query, we understand your concern about enabling the Resource Bridge after upgrading to the Azure 23H2 version. With this upgrade, Azure Arc Resource Bridge is automatically enabled in this version. Therefore, there is no need to redeploy the cluster or destroy it. Please refer to the below image and documentation

To deploy resource please use below documentation

I've made limited progress trying to get this deployed. Is there a better explanation for the inputs for the below command. I'm unsure of which FQDN/IP this is referring to.

az arcappliance createconfig hci --resource-group AzureStackLab --name AzureStackLab-ArcBrg --location eastus

Please enter cloud agent service FQDN/IP: (Is this a local IP that the VM will use???)

Hi Jamy Smith,
Here is the explanation of your query: when it prompts you to enter details, please refer to the infra.yaml file. You will need to provide the FQDN/IP address details there. For your reference, the screenshot and documentation are provided below

I understand this. However the -infra.yaml is generated by the az arcappliance createconfig which is what I'm having trouble with at this point.

Is this IP a local IP or internet based IP? It is assigning an IP to a component that is going to be deployed? Or is the Azure Stack HCI MOC cloud agent a separate component that needs to be deployed?

Hi Jamy Smith,
We understand your point. The IP address in the infra yaml file is used for internal communication within your Azure Stack HCI env. that is the local IP address. since the configuration file is stored locally on the HCI cluster, the IP address is part of your local network. for secure communication within the setup and is not an internet based IP address.
