This ansible role will install a SQL Server Developer Edition 2017 instance on supported Windows platforms. This role can be adjusted to install any supported SQL server installation. I've used variants of it to install SQL Server 2012/2014.
This role also handles local firewall changes as required and demonstrates how to make configuration adjustments to the SQL instance.
Using default values it's designed to work as an role that can be added to the member server in the windows test environment I've laid out through a series of posts on http://frostbyte.us/configure-an-ansible-testing-system-on-windows-part-1/
Powershell 5.0 / WMF 5.1 should be installed on target host.
You can do this in two steps with:
# The latest powershell gives us more flexiablity to use Windows DSC items
- name: Windows | Install Powershell 5.0
win_chocolatey:
name: "powershell"
register: check_powershell5
become: yes
become_user: Administrator
become_method: runas
retries: 3
delay: 10
# Powershell 5.0 requires a reboot, so lets get it done if it's needed.
- name: Windows | Reboot to complete Powershell 5.0 install
win_reboot:
# We will give windows a full hour to reboot.
reboot_timeout: 3600
post_reboot_delay: 60
when: check_powershell5.changed

# Suppress reboots that may occur during SQL Setup tasks
# you will want to set this to True if working on a sensitive system:
mssql_suppress_reboot: False

# Tuning options
# When an instance of SQL Server runs on a computer that has more than one microprocessor or CPU,
# it detects the best degree of parallelism, that is, the number of processors employed to run a single statement,
# for each parallel plan execution. You can use the max degree of parallelism option to limit the number of processors
# to use in parallel plan execution.
#
# If the affinity mask option is not set to the default, it may restrict the number of processors available to
# SQL Server on symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) systems.
#
# To enable the server to determine the maximum degree of parallelism, set this option to 0, the default value.
#
# See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/configure-the-max-degree-of-parallelism-server-configuration-option
mssql_max_degree_of_parallelism: 0
# Minimum memory to allocate to SQL
#
# Should remain 0 in most cases.

# see: Optimizing Server Performance Using Memory Configuration Options
# https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177455(v=sql.105).aspx
#
# The min server memory server configuration option can be used to ensure that
# SQL Server does not release memory below the configured minimum server memory
# once that threshold is reached. This configuration option can be set to a specific value
# based on the size and activity of your SQL Server. If you choose to set this value,
# set it to some reasonable value to ensure that the operating system does not request too
# much memory from SQL Server, which can affect SQL Server performance.
