Description

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink cmdlet drops an instance link. This command may cause data loss if the link is dropped and replica's LSNs are not synchronized with the primary, thus user must explicitly confirm the command when prompted, or use -Force parameter.

Examples

Example 1: Remove instance link

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -InstanceName "ManagedInstance01" -Name "Link01"

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the instance link "Link01" from the managed instance "ManagedInstance01".

Example 2: Remove instance link with an explicit -Force flag

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -InstanceName "ManagedInstance01" -Name "Link01" -Force

This command forcefully removes the instance link "Link01" from the managed instance "ManagedInstance01", ignoring the data loss warning.

Example 3: Remove instance link by its resource identifier

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -ResourceId "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/resourcegroup01/providers/Microsoft.Sql/managedInstances/ManagedInstance01/distributedAvailabilityGroups/Link01"

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the instance link with specified resource ID.

Example 4: Remove instance link by its PowerShell object

$managedInstanceLink = Get-AzSqlInstanceLink -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -InstanceName "ManagedInstance01" -Name "Link01" 
Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -InputObject $managedInstanceLink

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the instance link specified by instance link object.

Example 5: Remove instance link by its parent instance object

$instance = Get-AzSqlInstance -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -Name "ManagedInstance01" 
Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -InstanceObject $instance -Name "Link01"

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the instance link "Link01" from the managed instance specified by the instance object.

Example 6: Remove instance link using positional parameters

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink "ResourceGroup01" "ManagedInstance01" "Link01"

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the instance link "Link01" from the managed instance "ManagedInstance01" using positional parameters.

Example 7: Remove all instance links from its parent instance by piping link objects

$instance = Get-AzSqlInstance -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -Name "ManagedInstance01" 
$instance | Get-AzSqlInstanceLink | Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -Force

This command removes all instance links from the managed instance "ManagedInstance01".

Example 8: Remove instance link with an explicit -Force flag and output the deleted instance link object

Remove-AzSqlInstanceLink -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -InstanceName "ManagedInstance01" -Name "Link01" -Force -PassThru

This operation may cause data loss if replica's last hardened LSN is not in sync with the primary. Are you sure you want to proceed?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes an instance link from the managed instance "ManagedInstance01" and outputs the deleted instance link object.
