Some of the newest Azure VM sizes present a RAW Local SSD volume for ephemeral storage configured with the NVMe interface. This configuration might cause the deployment of a SQL Server instance on an Azure VM to fail because it attempts to place tempdb data files on the local SSD volume.

Some of the newest Azure VM sizes present a RAW Local SSD volume for ephemeral storage configured with the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface. This configuration might cause the deployment of a SQL Server instance on an Azure VM to fail because it attempts to place tempdb data files on the local SSD volume.

2626
The deployment fails because the RAW Local SSD volume isn't formatted or initialized, which makes the ephemeral storage unavailable and prevents SQL Server from accessing it during installation.

This issue occurs because of the selected Azure VM size. To solve the issue, use one of the following methods:

- If it's possible, use another VM SKU instead, such as the ones listed in the [VM size best practices](/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/performance-guidelines-best-practices-vm-size#checklist).
33-
- If it's not possible to use another VM SKU, deploy the VM using a Windows Server only image, [format and initialize the temporary NVMe drive](/azure/virtual-machines/enable-nvme-temp-faqs#how-can-i-format-and-initialize-temp-nvme-disks-in-windows-when-i-create-a-vm-), and then manually install SQL Server. Additionally, make sure that the VM isn't configured using a [sector size greater than 4 KB](sql-installation-fails-sector-size-error-azure-vm.md#resolution) before installing SQL Server.
