your preferences this tutorial explains how to deploy a microsoft sql server always on availability group on compute engine virtual machine vm instances by using google cloud netapp volumes block storage with the internet small computer system interface iscsi protocol using netapp volumes for your sql server storage provides access to a high performance fully managed storage service with advanced data management features such as snapshots and cloning objectives this tutorial guides you through the following tasks provision compute engine vms for sql server create netapp volumes block storage volumes configure sql server on each node configure windows server failover clustering wsfc create and configure a sql server always on availability group costs this tutorial uses the following billable components of google cloud compute engine netapp volumes to generate a cost estimate based on your projected usage use the pricing calculator before you begin before you begin ensure you have the following in the google cloud console on the project selector page select or create a google cloud project roles required to select or create a project select a project selecting a project doesn t require a specific iam role you can select any project that you ve been granted a role on create a project to create a project you need the project creator role roles resourcemanager projectcreator which contains the resourcemanager projects create permission learn how to grant roles note if you don t plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure create a project instead of selecting an existing project after you finish these steps you can delete the project removing all resources associated with the project go to project selector verify that billing is enabled for your google cloud project a google cloud project with administrative permissions for compute engine networking identity and access management and cloud storage a vpc network with a subnet in your target region active directory and dns services established within the region an active directory user with permissions to join computers to the domain and access vms using rdp ensure that vpc firewall rules allow traffic between nodes for iscsi tcp 3260 wsfc udp tcp 3343 sql server tcp 1433 sql server ag endpoints tcp 5022 smb tcp 445 and rpc tcp 135 tcp 49152 65535 enable the netapp volumes api in the google cloud console activate cloud shell activate cloud shell configure domain accounts configure two active directory accounts for sql server installation account an account with domain administrator privileges for example domain domainadmin to sign in to vms and configure the cluster and availability group service account an account for example domain sqlsvc for the sql server service and sql agent service on both sql server vms create compute engine vms for sql server create two compute engine instances sqlnode1 and sqlnode2 running sql server 2022 enterprise on windows server 2025 in the google cloud console go to the create an instance page go to create an instance for name enter sqlnode1 in the machine configuration section select general purpose and then do the following in the series list select n4 in the machine type list select n4 highmem 8 8vcpu 64 gb memory select the region and zone where you configured your vpc in the boot disk section click change and then do the following on the public images tab select sql server on windows server from the operating system list from the version list select sql server 2022 enterprise on windows server 2025 datacenter in the boot disk type list select hyperdisk balanced set the size gb to 50 to save the boot disk configuration click select expand the advanced options section then expand networking for network interfaces select the vpc and subnet for your project in the network interface card type list select gvnic for network service tier select premium click create repeat these steps to create a second instance named sqlnode2 join servers to the domain and prepare for clustering perform these steps on both sqlnode1 and sqlnode2 connect to the vm using a local administrator account in the server manager select local server select the workgroup link in the computer name section select change select the domain checkbox enter your domain name for example cvsdemo internal and click ok in the windows security dialog enter the credentials for your domain administrator account and click ok when the welcome message appears for the domain complete the following steps a click ok b click close and then select restart now after the vm restarts connect to it using your domain administrator account add the domain sqlsvc account to the local administrators group on the vm you can use the following powershell command add localgroupmember group administrators member domain sqlsvc open powershell as an administrator and run the following commands to install required windows features install failover clustering and tools install windowsfeature failover clustering rsat clustering powershell rsat clustering cmdinterface includeallsubfeature includemanagementtools install and enable mpio for iscsi install windowsfeature name multipath io enable msdsmautomaticclaim bustype iscsi install net and other sql prereqs install windowsfeature net framework 45 core net framework 45 features install windowsfeature rsat ad powershell to get the iscsi qualified name iqn for the vm run iscsicpl exe go to the configuration tab and copy the initiator name alternatively run the following powershell command get initiatorport select object nodeaddress record the iqn for both sqlnode1 and sqlnode2 you need these in the next section example iqn 1991 05 com microsoft sqlnode1 cvsdemo internal create netapp volumes block storage volumes follow these steps to create a host group storage pool and iscsi volumes create a host group a host group ensures that only the specified hosts your sql server vms can access the volumes you create in cloud shell create a host group containing the iqns of sqlnode1 and sqlnode2 gcloud netapp host groups create host_group_name location location type iscsi_initiator hosts sqlnode1_iqn sqlnode2_iqn os type windows description sql server ag nodes replace the following information host_group_name the name for the host group for example sql ag hosts location the region for your host group for example us west1 sqlnode1_iqn the iqn of sqlnode1 sqlnode2_iqn the iqn of sqlnode2 provision a storage pool in cloud shell create a storage
