Databox Laptops & Desktops Driver Download



In December 2018 Microsoft announced they were abandoning the MS version Edge in favor of a new version based on the open source Chromium Browser. The new version of Edge is known as 'Edge-Chrome' or 'Edge On Chromium'. This version is supported by RISC DataBox. Although it looks and feels a lot like Google Chrome, it is different. Datawalls are an optimized view for big screens that are most commonly used in the office as overhead displays. Do you offer professional services? We’re working with some customers one-on-one to get them up and running with special configurations of Databox. Get in touch if you need help.

Steps required to setup Azure data box - personal observations

Based on: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databox/data-box-deploy-ordered?tabs=portal and observations during setup.Also : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databox/data-box-deploy-picked-up?tabs=in-us-canada-europe

Before you begin:

Requires:i) 1x Azure Databox

ii) 1x Cat 6 cable

iii) 1x Cat 6A cable OR 2x SFP+ links

iv) Laptop computer - ensure that you have permissions to modify the network IP

v) 10GbE (ideal) or 1GbE (optional) for data transfer

Step 0:

Make sure that you have the Azure Databox password - obtain from the Azure portal

Step 1:

Open the data box on both ends - check for power cable. If no power cable, find one (minimum 15AWG)

Step 2:

Connect MGMT port to laptop computer using Cat6 cable

Step 3:

IF using Cat6A ethernet, connect Data3 to ethernet port on Server. If using SFP+, connect 2x to Data 1+2 on Databox, with matching SFP+ ports on the server

Step 4:

Set IP settings on the laptop ethernet card:

Step 5:

Open browser on laptop, and type in https://192.168.100.10

Step 6:

Go to 'set network interfaces' to get IP address for both Databox and Gateway

Step 7:

Hit the arrow next to your storage account on 'Connect and Copy' and identify the Block blob path

Step 8:

Click Connect and Copy -> NFS -> and input the IP address of the gateway

Step 9:

Go to your linux server, and create a directory to serve as a mount point - can be anything, as long as it is an empty directory

Step 10:

On the linux server, type:

sudo mount -t nfs <IP address of Databox>:<storage account name>_BlockBlob /path/to/mount/point/in/step/9

Step 11:

Navigate to the newly created mount point, and create a master folder to serve as the data container.

NOTE: No underscores, please no underscores, please please please no underscores when creating this container folder. The names can only have letters, numbers, and hyphens.

Step 12:

Start transferring data - likely by Rsync. Permissions didn't allow for rsync -a, and symbolic links were rejected by Azure, so rsync -rt seems good to be both recursive and keep modification times.

Return

Step 13:

Recommended to a) cancel any running transfers (eg. pkill screen if data transfers were setup using screen); b) unmount the drive from the linux server (eg. sudo umount -l /path/to/mountpoint); c) disconnect data3 from server to ensure no lingering data transfers running.

Step 14:

Repeat Steps 1-5 with laptop

Step 15:

Go to 'Prepare to ship' and click 'Start Preparation'. This may take days!

Step 16a:

Check for errors - if none, then e-ink screen on front will display return shipping label and the databox will lock. Can download file list and error list to laptop.

Step 16b:

If there are errors to fix, easiest to do by re-mounting the databox. Mounting in Windows (eg. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databox/data-box-deploy-copy-data) was easy way to change corrupting names

Step 17:

Arrange UPS pickup or drop it off at pickup point.

Microsoft SQL is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications. These applications may run on either the same computer or on another computer across a network, including the internet.

HOW TO

    Microsoft SQL connections are available in Plus and Business Accounts. Agency Basic Accounts have the ability to use Microsoft SQL in the Agency Account only.

How to configure TCP access to your Microsoft SQL Server

1
First, we'll open the SQL Server Configuration Manager and will select our Database instance. It's important to make sure TCP/IP is enabled
2
Open Advanced Settings and validate that Port 1433 is selected. You may also enter a custom Port here.
3
If you’ve made any changes, restart your Microsoft SQL server to make sure it's fully accepted the updates
4
Run the command netstat - an in cmd.exe to ensure the service is listening to the Port

Make sure Port forwarding is set up for your Firewall. In our example, Port 1433 must be reachable from Databox's public IP (52.4.198.118). If this is not done, timeout errors will occur when attempting to connect remotely.

5
For our Database, Full Text Extraction must be enabled. This can be configured from the SQL Server Setup window in the Features Selection section.
6
Login to the default Datase with

Windows Authentication mode. Right click on the Server Name and select Properties. Click on the Security tab and set Server Authentication as SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode.
7
For our example, we'll download the AdventureWorks sample Database from GitHub: AdventureWorks.zip

We'll unpack this in the folder c:SamplesAdventureWorks and open the instawdb.sql file in our SQL Server. Choose the SQLCMD Mode option from the Query Menu.

If the SQL file is not stored in the default location or if you want to customize the Database name, update the two vars as you see fit.

8
Execute the script by pressing F5
9
The Status message at the bottom will inform us if there are any errors. If not, we will receive the following message:

If the query was not executed successfully, please go back and re-check all steps above, or contact Databox Support at [email protected] additional assistance.

How to set up a remote Microsoft SQL user

To access the database remotely, we’ll add a new user with limited privileges and enable the user on our new database

1
First, we'll expand the Security tab by right clicking on Login and selecting New Login

2
We'll enter Remote as a Login Name, SQL Server Authentication as the Authentication Type, and a password

3
Next, we'll click on User Mapping and map the Database to our new user. To do this, we'll select db_datareader so the user can read/ view the Table, but not write to it.

For further security considerations, feel free to consult Microsoft's SQL Server Documentation.

Once our Database is properly prepared, we'll connect it to Databox.

To connect Microsoft SQL to Databox, go to Data Sources > + New connection. Type SQL in the search bar and click on the green Connect button.

This will open the Activation window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your connection data and authorize the Databox app.

Enter an arbitrary name for this connection and all of the additional information you’re prompted to add.

Click Activate. If a timeout error occurs, Databox couldn’t connect to the server. This is possibly due to a Firewall issue. In this case, check to ensure you have forwarded the Port and enabled it for Databox's public IP (52.4.198.118).

The Query Builder for Microsoft SQL allows you to create Custom Metrics using data from your Database to use in Databoards, Alerts, Goals, etc. Learn more about the Query Builder for Microsoft SQL here.

  • Make sure your Firewall is open to Databox's public IP and your Port is correctly forwarded to the server
  • Query results are limited to 1000 rows. If you expect your query to return over 1000 rows or if you're not sure how many rows will be returned, be sure to LIMIT the query
  • The query must contain a column named 'Date.' If you need to, use AS in your SELECT statement to satisfy this requirement
  • One column should always contain the Metric Value
  • 'Null' values will not be recognized. Use a COALESCE function when needed. Learn more here.
