Starting Azure Stack Hub

Starting Azure Stack Hub

  • To start Azure Stack Hub using the Start-AzureStack command:

    1. Turn on the network switches in the following order:
      1. TOR1, and then wait 5 minutes for it to normalize.
      2. TOR2, and then wait 5 minutes.
      3. BMC, and then wait 5 minutes.
    2. Use SSH to log in to the TOR1 switch, and then run the following command:show vrrp brief

      This command should return two interfaces reporting a state as Master:

    3. Use SSH to log in to the TOR2 switch, and then run the following command:show vrrp brief
    4. This command should return two interfaces reporting a state as Backup:

      Note: If you set the TOR1 switch to the Backup role instead of the Master role, you must reboot the TOR2 switch to assume the Master role.

    5. Turn on the HLH, and verify the status of the DellEMC-MGMTVM VM. After the VM starts, go to the next step.
    6. Turn on the scale unit nodes in the following order:
      1. SAC03-Node1, and then wait 5 minutes for it to normalize.
      2. SAC03-Node2, and then wait 5 minutes.
      3. SAC03-Node3, and then wait 5 minutes.
      4. SAC03-Node4, and then wait 5 minutes.
      Note: This procedure takes a few hours to complete while starting infrastructure services, tenant VMs, and load balancing. To avoid sequencing issues during startup, do not turn on all scale unit nodes simultaneously.

      After about 30 minutes, the Start-AzureStack command automatically starts in the background.

    7. After about 60 minutes, log in to the DellEMC-MGMTVM, start a PEP session, and use the following command to verify the status of Start-AzureStack: 
      Invoke-Command -Session $PEP -ScriptBlock { Get-ActionStatus Start-AzureStack }
      1. If the status is Completed, then the process is complete.
      2. If the status is Failed or you cannot access the PEP, for assistance or see Troubleshoot startup and shutdown of Azure Stack Hub on the Microsoft website, or for more assistance, contact Support.
