Before I added this Microsoft.Sql/servers/virtualNetworkRules section into azuredeploy.json file at that time I am able to create the new SQL database into azure.

  { "comments": "Adding existing VNET to the SQL Server", "type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers/virtualNetworkRules", "name": "[concat(parameters('sqlServerName'), '/', parameters('vnetRuleName'))]", "apiVersion": "2015-05-01-preview", "scale": null, "properties": { "virtualNetworkSubnetId": "[variables('vnetID')]" }, "dependsOn": [ "[resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers', parameters('sqlServerName'))]" ] } 

But whenever I added this Microsoft.Sql/servers/virtualNetworkRules section into azuredeploy.json file at that time I am not able to create database into existing virtual network and also it doesn't give any response.

Can anyone please tell me where I did the mistake in the above azuredeploy.json file?

Answer 1

Finally I resolved the above issue by replacing this section of code with Microsoft.Sql/servers/virtualNetworkRules the below lines of code:

 {
      "comments": "Adding existing VNET to the SQL Server",
      "type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers/virtualNetworkRules",
      "name": "[concat(parameters('sqlServerName'), '/', parameters('vnetRuleName'))]",
      "apiVersion": "2015-05-01-preview",
      "scale": null,
      "properties": {
        "virtualNetworkSubnetId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', parameters('existingVnetName'), parameters('subnets_default_name'))]",
        "ignoreMissingVnetServiceEndpoint": "[parameters('ignoreMissingVnetServiceEndpoint')]"
      },
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers', parameters('sqlServerName'))]"           
      ]
    }
