.NAME
SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation .DESCRIPTION The `SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation` DSC resource is used to configure default locations for user databases. The types of default locations that can be changed are Data, Log, and Backup. For more information about database default locations, please read the article [Changing the Database Default Locations](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd206993.aspx). ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later. * Target machine must be running SQL Server Database Engine 2012 or later. ## 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+SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation). .PARAMETER InstanceName Key - String The name of the SQL Server instance to be configured. .PARAMETER Type Key - String Allowed values: Data, Log, Backup The type of database default location to be configured. .PARAMETER Path Required - String The path to the default directory to be set for the type specified in the parameter Type. .PARAMETER ServerName Write - String The host name of the SQL Server to be configured. Default value is $env:COMPUTERNAME. .PARAMETER RestartService Write - Boolean If set to $true then SQL Server and dependent services will be restarted if a change to the configuration is made. The default value is $false. .PARAMETER ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode Write - Boolean Specifies that the resource will only determine if a change is needed if the target node is the active host of the SQL Server instance. .PARAMETER IsActiveNode Read - Boolean Returns if the current node is actively hosting the SQL Server instance. .EXAMPLE 1 This example shows how to manage database default locations for Data, Logs, and Backups for SQL Server. In the event this is applied to a Failover Cluster Instance (FCI), the ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode property will tell the Test-TargetResource function to evaluate if any changes are needed if the node is actively hosting the SQL Server Instance. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation 'Set_SqlDatabaseDefaultDirectory_Data' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode = $true Type = 'Data' Path = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation 'Set_SqlDatabaseDefaultDirectory_Log' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode = $true Type = 'Log' Path = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } SqlDatabaseDefaultLocation 'Set_SqlDatabaseDefaultDirectory_Backup' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode = $true Type = 'Backup' Path = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } |
