Ensure following prerequisites are met ONLY in the specific stamp identified to install the Resource Provider UI. Rest of the stamps are connected to and installation of RP is not required.
Start download / ensure following necessary marketplace images are already present
Go to Marketplace Management -> Marketplace Items
1) Windows 2016 Datacenter
[Eg: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter - Pay as you use]
2) SQL Server 2017
[Eg: SQL Server 2017 Standard on Windows Server 2016]
If they are not already present, refer Download Marketplace items to Azure Stack Hub to initiate download.
For a disconnected / partially connected scenario, refer the above link to use the Marketplace syndication tool to download Marketplace items and later transfer your downloads to your disconnected Azure Stack Hub installation.
2. Create a new plan and an offer / identify existing offer that will be used to create a tenant subscription
Go to Plans -> Identify / Create a new plan with the following services enabled with default quotas
To create a new plan, refer Create a plan in Azure Stack Hub
Go to Offers -> Identify / Create a new offer associating with the above plan in Base Plans -> Make it Public (or) Private based on operator's choice and use
To create a new offer, refer Create an offer in Azure Stack Hub
Go to Subscriptions -> Create a tenant subscription / identify an existing tenant subscription created using the offer above in ADMIN PORTAL section
To create a new tenant subscription, refer Create subscriptions to offers in Azure Stack Hub
2. Select the Tenant subscription -> Resource Providers -> Register all the following providers
3. Identify / create a SQL Server VM to host the databases necessary for the API components needed for this RP. The server can be present either inside or outside of Azure Stack reachable from the Resource Provider VM created during deployment.
To create a new SQL Server VM, refer Create SQL Server VM in tenant subscription
On multi-node integrated systems, the host must be a system that can access admin and tenant endpoints.
On ASDK, sign in to the physical host.
Azure stack certification authority certificate file (AzureStackCertificationAuthority.cer)
Refer AzureStack Certification Authority certificate to retrieve this certificate. You will need PEP endpoint credentials to run this script.
Certificate (*.pfx)
For integrated systems (i.e. multi-node), a .pfx certificate is required. Refer to MSM PKI Certificate Requirements for more details.
Place the file in Cert folder inside the install location (c:\CloudAssert\VConnectMSM). Unblock the .pfx file. Select the file, Right click -> Properties -> Unblock.
For ASDK, certificate is generated as a part of the deployment. Password for the .pfx certificate should not contain the following characters: ^ ` ~ & % *
POWERSHELL & TOOLS
Install Powershell AzureRM module for Azure Stack Hub (choose version based on the guidance below)
Ensure that Azure Stack PowerShell version 1.8.0 is available for Azure stack version 1910 and Azure Stack PowerShell version 1.8.1 for Azure stack version 2002.
Ensure there is ONE version of PowerShell installed to avoid errors during installation
