Lab 05 - Migrating the application database from on-premises
environment to Azure
Objective
In this Lab we would utilize the Cloud Adoption Framework Adopt
methodology to migrate on-premises Databases using the Azure Database
Migration Service to migrate the SQL Database. Azure Database Migration
Service is a tool that helps you simplify, guide, and automate your
database migration to Azure. Easily migrate your data, schema, and
objects from multiple sources to the cloud at scale.
Note: Start your virtual machines if you have stopped them after your
previous lab.
Exercise 1 - Migrating Microsoft SQL database to Azure SQL Database
Task 1: Register the Microsoft.DataMigration resource provider
Prior to using the Azure Database Migration Service, the resource
provider Microsoft.DataMigration must be registered in the target
subscription.
1. Open the Azure Cloud Shell by navigating to https://shell.azure.com.
Log in using your Azure subscription credentials if prompted to do
so, select a PowerShell session, and accept any prompts.
2. Select Create storage button.
3. Run the following command to register
the Microsoft.DataMigration resource provider:
Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.DataMigration
Note: It may take several minutes for the resource provider to register.
You can proceed to the next task without waiting for the registration to
complete. You will not use the resource provider until task 3.
4. You can check the status by running:
Get-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.DataMigration | Sel
ect-Object ProviderNamespace, RegistrationState, ResourceTypes
You have completed this task. Do not close any windows and please
proceed ahead with the next task.
Task summary
In this task you registered the Microsoft.DataMigration resource
provider with your subscription. This enables this subscription to use the
Azure Database Migration Service.
Task 2: Create the Database Migration Service
In this task you will create an Azure Database Migration Service resource.
This resource is managed by the Microsoft.DataMigration
resource provider which you registered in task 1.
Note: The Azure Database Migrate Service (DMS) requires network access
to your on-premises database to retrieve the data to transfer. To achieve
this access, the DMS is deployed into an Azure VNet. You are then
responsible for connecting that VNet securely to your database, for
example by using a Site-to-Site VPN or ExpressRoute connection.
In this lab, the 'on-premises' environment is simulated by a Hyper-V host
running in an Azure VM. This VM is deployed to the 'smarthotelvnet' VNet.
The DMS will be deployed to a separate VNet called 'DMSVnet'. To
simulate the on-premises connection, these two VNet have been peered.
1. Connect to the SmartHotelHost VM using Remote desktop and
launch Chrome from the desktop shortcut.
2. Navigate to the Azure portal https://portal.azure.com search
for Azure database migration, and then select Azure Database
Migration Services from the drop-down list.
3. On the Azure Database Migration Services blade, select
o Create.
4. Review the details on the Select migration scenario and
Database Migration Service page and click on the Select button
5. On the Create Data Migration Service page, Basics tab, provide the
below details.
o Subscription -- Azure Pass -- Sponsorship
o Resource group: SmartHotelRG
o Location -- West US
o Name: SmartHotelDBMigration
o Click on Review + create
6. On the Review + create tab, click on the Create button.
7. The Deployment should be completed in few seconds, click on Go
to resource button.
8. Select Integration runtime under Settings, then click
on Configure integration runtime.
9. Click on the link Download and install the integration
runtime and download the runtime on the SmartHotelHost VM
10. Click on the Download
11. Choose the most recent version and the click on Download
12. Once downloaded, install the Integration runtime with the
default options
13. The Microsoft Integration runtime Configuration
manager should launch upon clicking the Finish button.
14. From the Azure Portal, Configure integration runtime tab
copy the Key 1 value
15. Back on the Microsoft Integration runtime Configuration
manager paste the copied key and click on the Register button.
16. Click on the Finish button
17. Once the Registration is completed, click on Launch
Configuration Manager button.
18. Review the details on the Microsoft Integration runtime
Configuration manager
19. Switch back to the Azure portal and click Ok on the Configure
integration runtime tab.
20. The Status should be updated to Online for the Integration
runtime
Task 3: Migrate the On-premises SQL Database to Azure SQL Database
1. While still on the Azure Database Migration service page, select
Overview and then click on New Migration button under Getting
started tab.
2. On the Select new migration scenario page, provide the below
details
o Source server type -- SQL Server
o Target server type -- Azure SQL Database
3. Click on the Select button
4. On the Azure SQL Database Offline Migration Wizard page, provide
the below details on the Connect to source SQL Server tab.
o Source server name: 192.168.0.6
o Authentication type: SQL Authentication
o Username: sa
o Password: demo!pass123
o Connection properties -- enable both check boxes
5. Click on Next: Select database for migration >>
6. On the Select database for migration tab, select the
SmartHotel.Registration database and click on Next: Connect to
the target Azure SQL Database >>
7. On the Connect to the target Azure SQL Database tab all the
information should already be populated, you can review the
information, then provide the password -- demo!pass123 and click
on Next: Map source and target databases >>
8. On the Map source and target databases tab, from the drop-
down of Target database select smarthoteldb and then click
on Next: Select database tables to migrate >>
9. On the Select database tables to migrate tab, click on the drop-
down SmartHotel.Registration tables selected 2/2 and ensure
that the [dbo].[Bookings] is only the table which is selected and
then click on Next: Database migration summary >>
10. On the Database migration summary tab, review the
details and then click on Start migration button.
11. The Migration status can be seen under the Migration tab
Note: The Migration will take around 10 minutes
12. Click on the Refresh button couple of times, till the Migration
status changed to Succeeded.
13. Click on the Source name, 192.168.0.6
14. Review the details of the Migration
15. We have successfully migrated the On-premises SQL Database
to Azure SQL Database.
Summary
In this Lab we should have worked with Azure Database Migration service
and install the required integration runtime on the SmartHotelHost VM
to be able migrate the on-premises database successfully to Azure SQL
Database using the Database Migration Service (DMS).
