Lab 4 Building Application & SQL Workloads

Create a new web server virtual machine from the Microsoft Azure management portal

You will create a new virtual machine to run the web application. You can create this VM using quick create; however, that will not enable you to specify the service or storage, and will create separate storage and services for this VM. You will use the gallery option to ensure you can specify the storage and services for the VM.

Perform the following tasks in the Azure management portal:

  1. Click VIRTUAL MACHINES located on the left menu of the Azure management portal.

  2. Click +New to CREATE A VIRTUAL MACHINE.

  3. Click COMPUTE, click VIRTUAL MACHINE, and then click FROM GALLERY.

  4. In Choose an Image, click Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, and then click the Next arrow.

  5. Create a new virtual machine using the values in the following table, and then click the Next arrow.
    -

    <table>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td><strong>Property</strong></td>
<td><strong>Value</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>VIRTUAL MACHINE NAME</td>
<td>WEBFE01</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td>TIER</td>
<td>Standard</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>SIZE</td>
<td>A2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td>NEW USER NAME</td>
<td>SysAdmin</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>NEW PASSWORD and CONFIRM</td>
<td>Passw0rd!</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

  6. On the Virtual machine configuration page, in CLOUD SERVICE, select itcservice<ID> .

  7. In STORAGE ACCOUNT, select itcstore<ID>.

  8. In REGION/AFFINITY GROUP/VIRTUAL NETWORK, verifity ITC-VNet is selected

  9. In VIRTUAL NETWORK SUBNETS select AD-Production-Static (192.168.11.0)/24,

  10. Click the Next arrow.

  11. On the Virtual machine configuration page, under Security Extensions, check Microsoft Antimalware.

  12. Click the Complete icon.

    • The virtual machine will take a few minutes to create. Depending on the load this may take between 5 and 25 minutes.
    • Wait for the new virtual machine to finish before proceeding.

Configure SQL Server System Defaults

While the web server is being created, let’s go setup some defaults for SQL Server. You would never store SQL Data on a boot drive so the first thing we will do is add an additional drive that will be used for the SQL Data. We will create a single simple drive but you could create multiple drives and use storage spaces as an alternative. See Appendix Labs for details.

Perform the following tasks in the Azure management portal.

  1. In the Azure management portal, click VIRTUAL MACHINES.

  2. Click SQL01. Click Dashboard. On the virtual machine Dashboard page for SQL01, click the Attach button (chain icon) located on the bottom navigation toolbar and select Attach Empty Disk.  Complete the following fields on the Attach an empty disk to the virtual machine form:

    File Name: sql01-sql01data

    Size : 50 GB

    Host Cache Preference: None

  3. Click the Check Mark button to create and attach the new virtual hard disk to virtual machine.

  4. On the virtual machine Dashboard page for SQL01, click the Connect button located on the bottom toolbar (far left icon) and click the Open button to launch a Remote Desktop Connection to the console of this virtual machine. Click Use another account to login at the console of your virtual machine with the local credentials defined above. Follow the prompts to continue connecting

    <table>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td><strong>Property</strong></td>
<td><strong>Value</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td><strong>USER NAME</strong></td>
<td>SysAdmin</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td><strong>NEW PASSWORD</strong></td>
<td>Passw0rd!</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

  5. Perform the following tasks in an RDP connection to SQL01.

  6. Now from the Remote Desktop console of SQL01 we’ll create a new partition on the additional data disk attached above and format this partition as a new F: NTFSvolume. After formatting this new volume, you’ll create following folders:

    1. F:\MSSQL
    2. F:\MSSQL\DATA
    3. F:\MSSQL\LOGS
    4. F:\MSSQL\BACKUP

  7. Click Yes on the Networks Prompt to connect to other devices.

  18. Click the play button, or press F5 to run the script.

    • The output of the script is a small set of system data which indicates you can communicate with the SQL Server instance on SQL01.

POWERSHELL Deep Dive:

All tasks performed on the SQL Server in this lab can be done using PowerShell. If you want to see what it would look like check out: https://itproguru.com/downloads/SQLProvisionScript.txt

To Add the Disk to the Azure VM you could run the command:

Set-AzureSubscription –SubscriptionName “<YourSubscriptionName>” -CurrentStorageAccount itcstoredan01

Get-AzureVM “ITCService<YourID>” -Name “SQL01” | Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew -DiskSizeInGB 50 -DiskLabel ‘Data’ -LUN 0 | Update-AzureVM

You do have to have the Azure PowerShell Module installed and PowerShell connected to your Azure Account (In Lab 5 we show you how!)
