Instructions below are relative to the .\ComputeAdmin folder of the AzureStack-Tools repo.
Make sure you have the following module prerequisites installed:
Install-Module -Name 'AzureRm.Bootstrapper' -Scope CurrentUser
Install-AzureRmProfile -profile '2017-03-09-profile' -Force -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.2.9 -Scope CurrentUserThen make sure the following modules are imported:
Import-Module ..\Connect\AzureStack.Connect.psm1
Import-Module .\AzureStack.ComputeAdmin.psm1Adding a VM Image requires that you obtain the GUID value of your Directory Tenant. If you know the non-GUID form of the Azure Active Directory Tenant used to deploy your Azure Stack instance, you can retrieve the GUID value with the following:
$aadTenant = Get-AADTenantGUID -AADTenantName "<myaadtenant>.onmicrosoft.com" Otherwise, it can be retrieved directly from your Azure Stack deployment. This method can also be used for AD FS. First, add your host to the list of TrustedHosts:
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "<Azure Stack host address>" -ConcatenateThen execute the following:
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "<Admin password provided when deploying Azure Stack>" -AsPlainText -Force
$AadTenant = Get-AzureStackAadTenant -HostComputer <Host IP Address> -Password $PasswordThe New-Server2016VMImage allows you to add a Windows Server 2016 Evaluation VM Image to your Azure Stack Marketplace.
As a prerequisite, you need to obtain the Windows Server 2016 Evaluation ISO which can be found here.
An example usage is the following:
$ISOPath = "<Path to ISO>"
New-Server2016VMImage -ISOPath $ISOPath -TenantId $aadTenant This command may show a popup prompt that can be ignored without issue.
To ensure that the Windows Server 2016 VM Image has the latest cumulative update, provide the -IncludeLatestCU parameter.
Please note that to use this image for installing additional Azure Stack services, you will need to make use of the -Net35 parameter to install .NET Framework 3.5 into the image.
-
Prepare a Windows or Linux operating system virtual hard disk image in VHD format (not VHDX).
- For Windows images, the article Upload a Windows VM image to Azure for Resource Manager deployments contains image preparation instructions in the Prepare the VHD for upload section.
- For Linux images, follow the steps to prepare the image or use an existing Azure Stack Linux image as described in the article Deploy Linux virtual machines on Azure Stack.
-
Add the VM image by invoking the Add-VMImage cmdlet.
- Include the publisher, offer, SKU, and version for the VM image. These parameters are used by Azure Resource Manager templates that reference the VM image.
- Specify osType as Windows or Linux.
- Include your Azure Active Directory tenant ID in the form <mydirectory>.onmicrosoft.com.
- The following is an example invocation of the script:
Add-VMImage -publisher "Canonical" -offer "UbuntuServer" -sku "14.04.3-LTS" -version "1.0.0" -osType Linux -osDiskLocalPath 'C:\Users\<me>\Desktop\UbuntuServer.vhd' -tenantID <GUID AADTenant>Note: The cmdlet requests credentials for adding the VM image. Provide the administrator Azure Active Directory credentials, such as <Admin Account>@<mydirectory>.onmicrosoft.com, to the prompt.
The command does the following:
- Authenticates to the Azure Stack environment
- Uploads the local VHD to a newly created temporary storage account
- Adds the VM image to the VM image repository
- Creates a Marketplace item
To verify that the command ran successfully, go to Marketplace in the portal, and then verify that the VM image is available in the Virtual Machines category.
Run the below command to remove an uploaded VM image. After removal, tenants will no longer be able to deploy virtual machines with this image.
Remove-VMImage -publisher "Canonical" -offer "UbuntuServer" -sku "14.04.3-LTS" -version "1.0.0" -tenantID <GUID AADTenant>Note: This cmdlet will remove the associated Marketplace item unless the -KeepMarketplaceItem parameter is specified.
