Description

The SqlSetup DSC resource installs SQL Server on the target node.

Requirements

  • Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later.
  • For configurations that utilize the 'InstallFailoverCluster' action, the following parameters are required (beyond those required for the standalone installation). See the article Install SQL Server from the Command Prompt under the section Failover Cluster Parameters for more information.
    • InstanceName (can be 'MSSQLSERVER' if you want to install a default clustered instance).
    • FailoverClusterNetworkName
    • FailoverClusterIPAddress
    • Additional parameters needed when installing Database Engine.
      • InstallSQLDataDir
      • AgtSvcAccount
      • SQLSvcAccount
      • SQLSysAdminAccounts
    • Additional parameters needed when installing Analysis Services.
      • ASSysAdminAccounts
      • AsSvcAccount
  • These parameters cannot be used for configurations that utilize the 'InstallFailoverCluster' action:
    • BrowserSvcStartupType
  • The parameters below can only be used when installing SQL Server 2016 or later:
    • SqlTempDbFileCount
    • SqlTempDbFileSize
    • SqlTempDbFileGrowth
    • SqlTempDbLogFileSize
    • SqlTempDbLogFileGrowth
  • When installing SQL Server Analysis Services the account used to start the service must have the correct permissions in directory tree for the data folders. If not the service can fail with an access denied error. For more information see the issue #1443. To change permissions on folders the DSC resource FileSystemAccessRule can be used.
  • On certain operating systems, when using least privilege for the service account for the SQL Server Database Engine the security policy setting Network access: Restrict clients allowed to make remote calls to SAM can result in an access denied when validating accounts in the domain. For more information see the issue #1559.

Features supported

This is a list of currently supported features. All features might not be available on all versions of SQL Server.

  • SQLENGINE
  • REPLICATION
  • DQ
  • DQC
  • BOL
  • CONN
  • BC
  • SDK
  • MDS
  • FULLTEXT
  • RS
  • AS
  • IS
  • SSMS
  • ADV_SSMS

Important

It is not possible to add or remove features to a SQL Server failover cluster. This is a limitation of SQL Server. See article You cannot add or remove features to a SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, or SQL Server 2012 failover cluster.

Skip rules

The parameter SkipRule accept one or more skip rules with will be passed to setup.exe. Using the parameter SkipRule is not recommended in a production environment unless there is a valid reason for it.

For more information about skip rules see the article SQL 2012 Setup Rules – The 'Missing Reference'.

Credentials for running the resource

PsDscRunAsCredential

If PsDscRunAsCredential is set, the installation will be performed with those credentials, and the user name will be used as the first system administrator.

SYSTEM

If PsDscRunAsCredential is not assigned credentials then installation will be performed by the SYSTEM account. When installing as the SYSTEM account, then parameter SQLSysAdminAccounts and ASSysAdminAccounts must be specified when installing feature Database Engine and Analysis Services respectively.

Credentials for service accounts

Service Accounts

Service account username containing dollar sign ('$') is allowed, but if the dollar sign is at the end of the username it will be considered a Managed Service Account.

Managed Service Accounts

If a service account username has a dollar sign at the end of the name it will be considered a Managed Service Account. Any password passed in the credential object will be ignored, meaning the account is not expected to need a '*SVCPASSWORD' argument in the setup arguments.

Note about 'tempdb' properties

The properties SqlTempdbFileSize and SqlTempdbFileGrowth that are returned from Get-TargetResource will return the sum of the average size and growth. If tempdb has data files with both percentage and megabytes the value returned is a sum of the average megabytes and the average percentage. For example is there is one data file using growth 100MB and another file having growth set to 10% then the returned value would be 110. This will be notable if there are multiple files in the filegroup PRIMARY with different sizes and growths.

Considerations for the parameter SourceCredential

Using the parameter SourceCredential will trigger a copy of the installation media to a temp folder on the target node. Setup will then be started from the temp folder on the target node. For any subsequent calls to the resource, the parameter SourceCredential is used to evaluate what major version the file 'setup.exe' has in the path set, again, by the parameter SourcePath. To know how the temp folder is evaluated please read the online documentation for System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(). If the path, that is assigned to parameter SourcePath, contains a leaf folder, for example '\server\share\folder', then that leaf folder will be used as the name of the temporary folder. If the path, that is assigned to parameter SourcePath, does not have a leaf folder, for example '\server\share', then a unique GUID will be used as the name of the temporary folder.

Feature flags

Not to be mistaken with the Features parameter.

Feature flags are used to toggle resource functionality on or off. One or more feature flags can be added to the parameter FeatureFlag, i.e. FeatureFlag = @('DetectionSharedFeatures').

Caution

The functionality, exposed with a feature flag, can be changed from one release to another, including having breaking changes.

Feature flag Description
DetectionSharedFeatures A new way of detecting if the shared features is installed or not. This was implemented because the previous implementation did not work fully with SQL Server 2017.
AnalysisServicesConnection A new method of loading the assembly Microsoft.AnalysisServices. Using this, no longer is the helper function Connect-SqlAnalysis using LoadWithPartial() to load the assembly Microsoft.AnalysisServices. This requires the SqlServer module to be present on the node.

Known issues

All issues are not listed here, see here for all open issues.

Example 4

This example shows how to install the first node in a SQL Server failover cluster.

.NOTES This example assumes that a Failover Cluster is already present with a Cluster Name Object (CNO), IP-address. This example also assumes that that all necessary shared disks is present, and formatted with the correct drive letter, to accommodate the paths used during SQL Server setup. Minimum is one shared disk. This example also assumes that the Cluster Name Object (CNO) has the permission to manage Computer Objects in the Organizational Unit (OU) where the CNO Computer Object resides in Active Directory. This is necessary so that SQL Server setup can create a Virtual Computer Object (VCO) for the cluster group (Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier) or cluster role (Windows Server 2016 and later). Also so that the Virtual Computer Object (VCO) can be removed when the Failover CLuster instance is uninstalled.

See the DSC resources xFailoverCluster, StorageDsc and iSCSIDsc for information how to setup a failover cluster with DSC.

The resource is run using the SYSTEM account, but the setup is run using impersonation, with the credentials in SetupCredential, when Action is 'InstallFailoverCluster'.

Assumes the credentials assigned to SourceCredential have read permission on the share and on the UNC path. The media will be copied locally, using impersonation with the credentials provided in SourceCredential, so that the impersonated credentials in SetupCredential can access the media locally.

There is currently a bug that prevents the resource to logon to the instance if the current node is not the active node. This is because the resource tries to logon using the SYSTEM account instead of the credentials in SetupCredential, and the resource does not currently support the built-in PsDscRunAsCredential either (see issue #444).

Example 5

This example shows how to add a node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster.

.NOTES This example assumes that a Failover Cluster is already present with the first SQL Server Failover Cluster node already installed. This example also assumes that that the same shared disks on the first node is also present on this second node.

See the example 4-InstallNamedInstanceInFailoverClusterFirstNode.ps1 for information how to setup the first SQL Server Failover Cluster node.

The resource is run using the SYSTEM account, but the setup is run using impersonation, with the credentials in SetupCredential, when Action is 'Addnode'.

Assumes the credentials assigned to SourceCredential have read permission on the share and on the UNC path. The media will be copied locally, using impersonation with the credentials provided in SourceCredential, so that the impersonated credentials in SetupCredential can access the media locally.

Setup cannot be run using PsDscRunAsCredential at this time (see issue #405 and issue #444). That also means that at this time PsDscRunAsCredential can not be used to access media on the UNC share.

There is currently a bug that prevents the resource to logon to the instance if the current node is not the active node. This is because the resource tries to logon using the SYSTEM account instead of the credentials in SetupCredential, and the resource does not currently support the built-in PsDscRunAsCredential either (see issue #444).
