Create a NetApp account

Creating a NetApp account enables you to set up a capacity pool and subsequently create a volume. You use the Azure NetApp Files blade to create a new NetApp account.

Before you begin

You must have registered your subscription for using the NetApp Resource Provider. See Register the NetApp Resource Provider.

Steps

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

2. Access the Azure NetApp Files blade by using one of the following methods:

   • Search for Azure NetApp Files in the Azure portal search box.
   • Click All services in the navigation, and then filter to Azure NetApp Files.

   You can "favorite" the Azure NetApp Files blade by clicking the star icon next to it.

3. Click + Add to create a new NetApp account.
   The New NetApp account window appears.

4. Provide the following information for your NetApp account:

   • Account name
     Specify a unique name for the subscription.

   • Subscription
     Select a subscription from your existing subscriptions.

   • Resource group
     Use an existing Resource Group or create a new one.

   • Location
     Select the region where you want the account and its child resources to be located.

     

5. Click Create.
   The NetApp account you created now appears in the Azure NetApp Files blade.

Note

If you haven't registered your subscription for using the NetApp Resource Provider, you will receive the following error when you try to create the first NetApp account:

{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details.","details":[{"code":"NotFound","message":"{\r\n \"error\": {\r\n \"code\": \"InvalidResourceType\",\r\n \"message\": \"The resource type could not be found in the namespace 'Microsoft.NetApp' for api version '20xx-xx-xx'.\"\r\n }\r\n}"}]}
