Question

Using Free Trial to test Azure NetApp Files - NetApp Account available on for Brazil Southeast but when I will create the volume, the virtual network is not available for Brazil Southeast, only Brazil South, so I have an error and cannot proceed with the volume creation. The registration of the netapp resource provides is ok, and I have followed all steps and pre-requisites. My balance is already 800 USD, in just one day I have spent 200 USD, just trying to put this to work. So, after following all steps correctly, I have this exactly error when I try to create the volume:

{"code":"LocationNotAvailableForResourceType","message":"The provided location 'brazilsoutheast' is not available for resource type 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks'. List of available regions for the resource type is 'westus,eastus,northeurope,westeurope,eastasia,southeastasia,northcentralus,southcentralus,centralus,eastus2,japaneast,japanwest,brazilsouth,australiaeast,australiasoutheast,centralindia,southindia,westindia,canadacentral,canadaeast,westcentralus,westus2,ukwest,uksouth,koreacentral,koreasouth,francecentral,australiacentral,southafricanorth,uaenorth,switzerlandnorth,germanywestcentral,norwayeast,westus3,jioindiawest,swedencentral,qatarcentral,polandcentral,italynorth,israelcentral'."}I am using this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-netapp-files/azure-netapp-files-quickstart-set-up-account-create-volumes?tabs=azure-portal#code-try-0

I followed all of them correctly.

Answer 1

@Luciano Silveira Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

It looks like you're facing a limitation in Azure NetApp Files where the virtual network location is not available for Brazil Southeast. Unfortunately, this means you won't be able to create the volume in that region.

You might need to create your Azure NetApp Files volume in Brazil South or another supported region.

It could be related to limitations on the free trial.

Can you try created Azure NetApp files in a region that has the supported Vnet region available like Brazil South? Try and let me know the results via comments.

Answer 2

@Luciano Silveira Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Please refer to this blog which gives complete details of Azure Netapp supported regions : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=netapp&regions=brazil-south,brazil-southeast

This error message is indicating that the location you have specified for the virtual network resource is not available for the resource type Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks in the context of Azure NetApp Files replication. To resolve this issue, you can try specifying a different location that is available for the resource type Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks in the context of Azure NetApp Files replication. You can find a list of available locations for this resource type in the Azure portal or by using the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

This article describes common Azure NetApp Files Resource Provider errors, their causes, solutions, and workarounds (if available).

Additonal information:

The Azure NetApp Files replication functionality provides data protection through cross-region volume replication. You can asynchronously replicate data from an Azure NetApp Files volume (source) in one region to another Azure NetApp Files volume (destination) in another region. This capability enables you to fail over your critical application if a region-wide outage or disaster happens.

Azure NetApp Files volume replication is supported between various Azure regional pairs and non-standard pairs. Azure NetApp Files volume replication is currently available between the following regions. You can replicate Azure NetApp Files volumes from Regional Pair A to Regional Pair B, and vice versa.

This article describes error messages and resolutions that can help you troubleshoot cross-region replication issues for Azure NetApp Files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-netapp-files/troubleshoot-cross-region-replication#errors-creating-replication

Option 2 If the resource type is available in your region, check if it's registered with your subscription. It can be done at the subscription owner level as shown in this article.

If the issue still persist, please let me know I would like to work closer on this issue
