Azure Stack HCI Single Server Deployment

At Microsoft Build 2022, the Azure Stack HCI Single Node was announced on 5/24/2022.

Unfortunately the Stack cannot be installed via the Windows Admin Center (at this time), so the installation has to be done via Powershell.

In this repository I provide the corresponding Powershell scripts for the deployment.

Step 1 - Download and install Azure Stack HCI ISO Image

Before we can use Azure Stakc HCI we have to download it from the MIcrosoft Website. See here: https://azure.microsoft.com/de-de/products/azure-stack/hci/hci-download/. Then you install the Image to your Hardware.

Step 2 - Configure the server (with SConfig)

In this step you configure the core information of the node.

SConfig Overview
Go through the steps	fill out, what you want
Disable SConfig from starting automatically	Set-SConfig -AutoLaunch $False
Restart the Server	check ;-)

Step 3 - Create cluster

In this step we will configure the Stack. You can use my Script from the folder "Scripts".

Step	Script
1.	Enter-PSSession.ps1
2.	AddtoDomain.ps1
3.	InstallRolesandFeatures.ps1
4.	ClusterPreparation.ps1
5.	PrepareVolumes.ps1
6.	CreateCluster.ps1
7.	NetworkATCConfig.ps1
8.	EnableStorageSpacesDirect.ps1
Ready!	check ;-)

Step 4 - Register the cluster

After the core step are done you have to register the Azure Stack HCI within 60 days. You can do that in two ways.

Step	Way
1.	Windows Admin Center
2.	RegisterAzureStackHCI.ps1
Ready!	check ;-)

You can use my Script from the folder "Scripts".

Step 5 - Create volumes

After the Azure Stack HCI is registered to your Azure saubscription you can create Volumes on your Cluster. You can you my script from the folder "Scripts" -> CreateVolumes.ps1 or you can use the Windows Admin Center to do that.

Ready - your are done!
