An Azure service that provides enterprise-grade file shares powered by NetApp.
The message indicates that the subscription is not yet registered with the Azure NetApp Files resource provider (Microsoft.NetApp). Registration is required before creating any Azure NetApp Files accounts or resources.
To resolve the issue, register the subscription for Azure NetApp Files and wait for registration to complete:
- Confirm the correct subscription is selected in the Azure portal.
- Register the
Microsoft.NetAppresource provider using one of the following methods.
Portal
- In the Azure portal, search for Subscriptions and select the affected subscription.
- Under Settings, select Resource providers.
- Find Microsoft.NetApp.
- Select Microsoft.NetApp and then select Register.
- Wait until the status shows as Registered (this can take some time).
PowerShell
- Select the subscription:
Select-AzSubscription -Subscription <subscriptionId> - Register the provider:
Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.NetApp
Azure CLI
- Set the subscription:
az account set --subscription <subscriptionID> - Register the provider and wait for completion:
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.NetApp --wait
After registration completes, use the Azure portal to create the NetApp account:
- In the portal search box, enter Azure NetApp Files and select it.
- Select + Add or + Create.
- Provide account name, subscription, resource group, region, and service tier (for standard Azure NetApp Files select Other; for zone-redundant select Zone redundant or NetApp Elastic account if using Elastic zone-redundant storage).
- Select Create.
If Elastic zone-redundant storage is required, ensure the subscription is also registered for that preview feature as described in the Elastic account documentation.
