## Onboard the server to Azure Arc
18+
Before you proceed:
19+
20+
- Verify your server meets [prerequisites for the connected machine agent](/azure/azure-arc/servers/prerequisites).
21+
- Verify your network and firewall meets the [network requirements for connected machine agent](/azure/azure-arc/servers/network-requirements).

Azure Arc automatically installs the Azure extension for SQL Server when a server connected to Azure Arc has SQL Server installed. All the SQL Server instance resources are automatically created in Azure, providing a centralized management platform for all your SQL Servers.

Connecting SQL Servers in your hybrid environment directly with Azure can be accomplished using different methods, depending on your requirements and the tools you prefer to use.

Go to **Azure Arc > SQL Server** and open the newly registered Arc-enabled SQL Server resource to validate.
42+
In Azure portal, go to **Azure Arc > SQL Server** and open the newly registered Arc-enabled SQL Server resource to validate.

If the Arc-enabled SQL Server resource does not appear in the same resource group as the Arc Server, follow the [Azure extension for SQL Server](troubleshoot-deployment.md) guide to troubleshoot the issue.

## Next steps
52+
## Evaluate Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server on an Azure VM
53+
54+
Normally, you wouldn't use Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine. However, you can use an Azure SQL Virtual machine to evaluate Arc-enabled SQL Server on an Azure VM.
55+
56+
To test Arc-enabled SQL Server on an Azure VM, follow the steps at [Evaluate Arc-enabled servers on Azure virutal machine](/azure/azure-arc/servers/plan-evaluate-on-azure-virtual-machine). For you Azure VM image, use an [available Azure SQL VM image](/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/sql-vm-create-portal-quickstart).
