.NAME
SqlEndpoint .DESCRIPTION The `SqlEndpoint` DSC resource is used to create an endpoint. Currently it only supports creating a database mirror endpoint. A database mirror endpoint can be used by AlwaysOn. >Note: The endpoint will be started after creation, but will not be enforced >unless the the parameter `State` is specified. >To set connect permission to the endpoint, please use >the resource [**SqlEndpointPermission**](#sqlendpointpermission). ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later. * Target machine must be running SQL Server Database Engine 2012 or later. ## Security Requirements * The built-in parameter PsDscRunAsCredential must be set to the credentials of an account with the permission to create and alter endpoints. ## Known issues All issues are not listed here, see [here for all open issues](https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+in%3Atitle+SqlEndpoint). .PARAMETER EndpointName Key - String The name of the endpoint. .PARAMETER InstanceName Key - String The name of the SQL Server instance to be configured. .PARAMETER EndpointType Required - String Allowed values: DatabaseMirroring Specifies the type of endpoint. Currently the only type that is supported is the Database Mirroring type. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent If the endpoint should be present or absent. Default values is 'Present'. .PARAMETER Port Write - UInt16 The network port the endpoint is listening on. Default value is 5022, but default value is only used during endpoint creation, it is not enforce. .PARAMETER ServerName Write - String The host name of the SQL Server to be configured. Default value is $env:COMPUTERNAME. .PARAMETER IpAddress Write - String The network IP address the endpoint is listening on. Default value is '0.0.0.0' which means listen on any valid IP address. The default value is only used during endpoint creation, it is not enforce. .PARAMETER Owner Write - String The owner of the endpoint. Default is the login used for the creation. .PARAMETER State Write - String Allowed values: Started, Stopped, Disabled Specifies the state of the endpoint. When an endpoint is created and the state is not specified then the endpoint will be started after it is created. The state will not be enforced unless the parameter is specified. .EXAMPLE 1 This example will add a Database Mirror endpoint, to two instances, using the default values. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlEndpoint 'SQLConfigureEndpoint-Instance1' { EndpointName = 'HADR' EndpointType = 'DatabaseMirroring' InstanceName = 'INST1' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } SqlEndpoint 'SQLConfigureEndpoint-Instances2' { EndpointName = 'HADR' EndpointType = 'DatabaseMirroring' InstanceName = 'INST2' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example will add a Database Mirror endpoint with specific listener port, listener IP address and owner. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlEndpoint 'SQLConfigureEndpoint' { Ensure = 'Present' EndpointName = 'HADR' EndpointType = 'DatabaseMirroring' Port = 9001 IpAddress = '192.168.0.20' Owner = 'sa' State = 'Started' ServerName = 'server1.company.local' InstanceName = 'INST1' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } .EXAMPLE 3 This example will remove an Database Mirror endpoint from two instances. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlEndpoint 'SQLConfigureEndpoint-Instance1' { Ensure = 'Absent' EndpointName = 'HADR' EndpointType = 'DatabaseMirroring' InstanceName = 'INST1' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } SqlEndpoint 'SQLConfigureEndpoint-Instance2' { Ensure = 'Absent' EndpointName = 'HADR' EndpointType = 'DatabaseMirroring' InstanceName = 'INST2' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } |
