We can list the attached drives with the following command: sudo fdisk -l This follows the same logic as mount points in Windows. We will be creating a directory /sql and mounting these three drives as directories below. Let’s start making the necessary changes to get this build production ready. We need to enable the firewall and add rules for 1433, 1434 and 22 (for SSH).Ĭurrently the configuration is set to default settings. However, these days in the Windows world we are seeing firewalls enabled about 50% of the time, so let’s do it here to show the steps. We are now able to connect with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).Ĭurrently we do not have a firewall running on this server.
#UBUNTU LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER 16.04 SERVER INSTALL#
Sudo apt-get install mssql-tools unixodbc-dev sudo add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- | sudo tee /etc/apt//msprod.list)" We will also install the command line tools, as they will be needed later. sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf set sqlagent.enabled true To enable it we will run the following commands. Let’s confirm SQL Server is running: systemctl status mssql-serverĪs of RTM-CU4, the SQL Server Agent is included with the engine install but is disabled by default. Review the license terms, select ‘Yes’ to accept them and then enter the system administrator (sa) password. We need to select the desired edition, Developer in this case. Next, as the install says, we need to run the mssql-conf command to configure SQL Server. We are now back to running the latest build of SQL Server.
#UBUNTU LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER 16.04 SERVER PATCH#
To patch our existing install to the latest version, we simply run the install command again.
You will need to scroll down to the CU details for the “-#” that reflects the package version. Check the release notes here for the CU version. Note, the version parameter here is the package version. Let’s go ahead and uninstall SQL Server and try to install a lower CU. Note here that we installed mssql-server (.27-1), which is the latest version available. Installing SQL Server: sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server
#UBUNTU LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER 16.04 SERVER UPDATE#
We will also consider update and rollback options. Additionally we, by default, will be installing the latest CU build level of SQL Server 2017. Things to note here, we will not be able to control the default locations at install, but we will fix them post configuration.
Then run apt-get update to get the latest packages from the newly added repository: apt-get update Then import the CU repository add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- )" For this post we will select the CU repository.įor CU the command is: add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- )"įor GDR the command is: add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- )"įirst, we will import the repository GPG keys: wget -qO- | apt-key add – In Linux, we have two different repositories to set dependent upon that business decision. We have the same consideration as Windows on whether to follow Cumulative Update (CU) or GDR Updates. su -įor adding the repository, we will need the add-apt-repository command so we will install that here.
We will be using the Ubuntu repository for this blog post.įor the following steps we will be switching to root privileges. Reference this document from Microsoft to confirm the latest repository path for each Linux platform.
#UBUNTU LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER 16.04 SERVER HOW TO#
The three flavors of Linux (Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu) each have a different process on how to do this, but conceptually they are the same. The first step is to tell Linux where to find the latest SQL Server binaries, a repository in Linux terms. This post picks up the story from that point, with us prepping our server for a SQL Server install and doing the basic configurations for preparing this server for production readiness. In our prior posts in this series we discussed Linux basics and provided a how to for installing Linux.
