Windows Azure Virtual Machine (4)

Configure the SQL Server database and firewall rules for virtual machine

In this chapter I will show you how to configure the database for virtual machine. Virtual machine's SQL 2012 default data save path is in the C disk.

I introduced the previous chapter, C disk can only support the largest 127g,c disk space for us is very valuable, so, for other non-system data, save to other disk characters (can not be D disk) is a more reasonable solution.

1. First we login to Windows Azure management interface https://manage.windowsazure.com/

2. Select "Virtual machines" in the list and locate the previously created SQL2012VM1 and log on to the VM using Remote Desktop Connection.
