    Installing SQL Server


    Module Overview

    • Considerations for Installing SQL Server


    • tempdb Files
    • Installing SQL Server
    • Automating Installation
    Lesson 1: Considerations for Installing SQL
    Server

    • Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements


    • Assessing CPU and Memory Requirements
    • Storage I/O and Performance
    • Assessing I/O by Using SQLIOSim
    • Demonstration: Using SQLIOSim
    • Assessing I/O by Using Diskspd
    • Demonstration: Using Diskspd
    • Virtual Servers and Containers
    • Installing SQL Server on Linux
    Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements

    • Hardware requirements:
    • Processors
    • Memory
    • Disk

    • Software requirements:
    • Operating system
    • Prerequisite software
    • General software requirements
    Assessing CPU and Memory Requirements

    • CPU:
    • Utilization dependent on types of queries running
    • Test against realistic workloads

    • Memory:
    • Express Edition can only use 1 GB of memory
    Storage I/O and Performance

    • Plan and test your I/O requirements

    • Considerations for storage:


    • Dedicated versus SAN storage
    • RAID systems
    • Number of drives
    • I/O caching configuration
    Assessing I/O by Using SQLIOSim

    • Used for reliability and integrity tests on disk


    subsystems
    • Attempts to accurately simulate the I/O patterns
    of SQL Server
    • Tests contain an element of randomness and
    should not be used for performance tuning
    Demonstration: Using SQLIOSim

    In this demonstration, you will see:


    • How to use the SQLIOSim graphical user
    interface
    Assessing I/O by Using Diskspd

    • A general purpose load generator for I/O


    subsystems
    • Can be configured to mimic SQL Server I/O
    • Suitable for use as a performance-tuning tool
    • Replaces SQLIO
    Demonstration: Using Diskspd

    In this demonstration, you will see:


    • How to run the Diskspd utility
    Virtual Servers and Containers

    • Virtualization:
    • Virtual Machines
    • Hyper-V

    • Containerization:
    • Containers
    • Docker

    • SQL Server Installation on VMs and Containers


    • Cloud Virtualization and Containerization
    Installing SQL Server on Linux

    • Trends toward open-source systems


    • Trends in virtualization
    • SQL Server 2017 is the first version of SQL Server
    to run on Linux and containers
    Lesson 2: tempdb Files

    • What Are tempdb Files?


    • Modifying the Number of tempdb Files During
    Installation
    What Are tempdb Files?

    • tempdb files are similar in architecture to data


    files for other SQL Server databases
    • The usage pattern for tempdb is unlike other
    databases
    • Holds temporary objects created by users or by the
    database engine
    • SQL Server recreates tempdb every time the
    instance restarts
    • tempdb is a shared resource, so its performance
    can affect the performance of the whole system
    Modifying the Number of tempdb Files During
    Installation

    • You can specify the following attributes of


    tempdb files during installation of SQL Server:
    • Location
    • Number
    • Initial size
    • Autogrowth increment
    Lesson 3: Installing SQL Server

    • Options for Installing SQL Server


    • Performing an Installation of SQL Server
    • Performing Post-Installation Checks
    Options for Installing SQL Server

    • Installation wizard

    • Command prompt

    • Configuration file

    • SysPrep
    Performing an Installation of SQL Server

    • Installation wizard:
    • Product Updates
    • Install Setup Files
    • Install Rules
    • Setup Role
    • Feature Selection
    • Instance Configuration
    • Server Configuration
    • <Component> Configuration
    • Ready to Install
    Performing Post-Installation Checks

    • Verify that SQL Server services are running

    %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL
    Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log
    Lesson 4: Automating Installation

    • SQL Server Servicing


    • Unattended Installation
    • Demonstration: Reviewing an Unattended
    Installation File
    SQL Server Servicing

    • SQL Server updates are released in several ways


    • Hotfixes
    • Cumulative Updates
    • Service Packs

    • SQL Server can receive automatic updates


    directly from Microsoft Update
    • In enterprise environments, updates should be tested
    before being applied to production servers
    Unattended Installation

    • Install SQL Server from the command line:


    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=CompleteImage /INSTANCENAME=MYNEWINST
    /INSTANCEID=<MYINST> /SQLSVCACCOUNT="<DomainName\UserName>"
    /SQLSVCPASSWORD="<StrongPassword>"
    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="<DomainName\UserName>"
    /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service"
    /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS

    • Upgrade SQL Server from the command line:


    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
    /RSUPGRADEDATABASEACCOUNT="<Provide a SQL Server logon account
    that can connect to the report server during upgrade>"
    /RSUPGRADEPASSWORD="<Provide a password for the report server upgrade
    account>" /ISSVCAccount="NT Authority\Network Service"
    /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    Demonstration: Reviewing an Unattended
    Installation File
