1. Follow the steps outlined in [Deploy Arc-enabled VMware vSphere for Azure VMware Solution private cloud](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-vmware/deploy-arc-for-azure-vmware-solution?tabs=windows) to enable the Azure VMware Solution environment. You will need to enable guest management for the VMs running SQL Server and make sure the Azure Extension for SQL Server is installed.

For SQL Server environments running in a VM in Azure VMware Solution, you can use Extended Security Updates enabled by Azure Arc to configure ESUs and automate patching. First you will need to Arc-enable VMware vShpere for Azure VMware Solution and have the Azure Extension for SQL Server is installed onto the VM. The steps are:

2. You should then follow the steps discussed here: [Subscribe to Extended Security Updates enabled by Azure Arc](https://learn.microsoft.com/sql/sql-server/end-of-support/sql-server-extended-security-updates?#subscribe-instances-for-esus) to subscribe to Extended Security Updates through the SQL Server Configuration experience.

For machines running SQL Server where **Guest Management** is enabled, the Azure Extension for SQL Server should be registered. You can validate the extension is installed through these steps.

Next, once VMware vSphere for Azure VMware Solution is Arc-enabled and Azure Extension for SQL Server is installed the VM you can subscribe to Extended Security Updates by updating the SQL Server Configuration on the Arc-enabled VM. To find the SQL Server Configuration from the Azure portal:
37
+
- Go to **vCenter Server Inventory** and **Virtual Machines** clicking through one of the Arc-enabled VMs. Here you see the *Machine-Azure Arc (AVS)* page.
38

- In the left pane expand operations and you should see the **SQL Server Configuration**
39

- You should then follow the steps discussed in the section: [Subscribe to Extended Security Updates enabled by Azure Arc](https://learn.microsoft.com/sql/sql-server/end-of-support/sql-server-extended-security-updates?#subscribe-instances-for-esus) which also provides syntax to configure via Azure Powershell or Azure CLI.
