::: moniker range="azs-2206"
-
Applicable: This issue applies to release 2206.
-
Cause: The alert Geographical region not provided is displayed, and asks you to make a choice for Schrems II compliance.
-
Remediation: You can run the following PowerShell cmdlet to set geographical preference:
Set-DataResidencyLocation -Europe:$true or $false
The residency location for the data will be updated and all data will be stored and processed in the EU. Close this alert manually, or ignore it after the geographical region preference appears in the admin portal (as described in EU Schrems II initiative for Azure Stack Hub). The alert remains active for up to one week, even after the choice is made.
-
Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to release 2206 and later.
-
Cause: An Encryption recovery keys retrieval warning is displayed, and asks you to retrieve and securely store the encryption recovery keys outside of Azure Stack Hub. The warning occurs to ensure that you have retrieved the recovery keys. If you have previously retrieved the recovery keys and are getting this alert after the 2206 update (or beyond), please make sure to collect the recovery keys again. Recovery keys may be required in the case where host nodes display the BitLocker recovery key screen after unplanned reboots; for example, power outages.
-
Remediation: Retrieve the encryption keys and store them in a secure location outside of Azure Stack Hub. From the PEP, run the following command, and save the recovery keys that are returned:
## Retrieves recovery keys for all volumes that are encrypted with BitLocker Get-AzsRecoveryKeys -raw
For more information, see Retrieving BitLocker recovery keys. Note that the alert will automatically close within 24 hours after running Get-AzsRecoveryKeys and storing those recovery keys in a secure location outside of Azure Stack Hub.
-
Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2206.
- Cause: The update blade and/or the portal dashboard can become unusable and show an error during the update itself.
- Remediation: If the portal is unavailable for more than 1 hour, you can use the PEP to check the status of the update. For more information, see Monitor updates in Azure Stack Hub using the privileged endpoint.
Public IP and Load Balancer blades display a banner that recommends upgrading from Basic to Standard SKU
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2108 and newer.
- Cause: The Azure portal recommends the upgrade from Basic to Standard SKU; however, this functionality is not supported in Azure Stack Hub.
- Remediation: Don't attempt the upgrade, as it will fail.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to releases 2102 and newer.
- Cause: Menu items are not displayed when clicking on disk instance on the Virtual Machines overview blade.
- Remediation: Refresh the page and the menu should reappear. Alternatively, you can navigate to the specific disk instance via the Disks area in the portal.
- Occurrence: Minor portal issue that occurs consistently.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2206.
- Cause: The configuration of Graph fails with an invalid credential error.
- Remediation: If credentials are correct, you must supply them as username only, rather than domainname\username.
- Occurrence: Common
::: moniker-end
::: moniker range="azs-2108"
Update to 2108 will not proceed if there are AKS clusters or ACR registries created and the private previews of AKS and ACR services are installed
- Applicable: This issue applies to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Registry (ACR) private preview customers who plan to upgrade to 2108.
- Remediation: The operator must delete all AKS clusters and ACR Registries and uninstall the private preview of the AKS and ACR services.
- Occurrence: Any stamp that has the AKS and ACR private previews installed will experience this message.
For known Azure Stack Hub update issues, see Troubleshooting Updates in Azure Stack Hub.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Updating/changing the load distribution property (session persistence) has no effect and some virtual machines might not participate in the traffic load distribution. For example, if you have 4 backend virtual machines and only 2 clients connecting to the load balancer, and the load distribution is set to client IP, the client sessions will always use the same backend virtual machines. Changing the load distribution property to "none" to distribute the client connections across all the backend virtual machines will have no effect.
- Remediation: Recreating the load balancing rule will ensure the selected settings are correctly configured to all backend VMs.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2108.
- Cause: Missing properties for the object type data disk.
- Remediation: Add data disks after deployment.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2108.
- Cause: Missing properties for snapshot operation.
- Remediation: Apply hotfix 1.2108.2.73.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the public preview release of Azure Container Registry on Azure Stack Hub.
- Cause: An issue is preventing metrics from displaying when viewing a container registry in the Azure portal. The metrics are also not available in Shoebox.
- Remediation: No remediation available, will be addressed in an upcoming hotfix.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the public preview release of Azure Container Registry on Azure Stack Hub.
- Cause: Seven days following the installation of Container Registry, the operator experience in the admin portal may prompt the operator to install Container Registry again. The service is operating normally but the operator experience is not available. Tenants are able to create and manage container registries.
- Remediation: No remediation available, will be addressed in an upcoming hotfix.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The two administrative subscriptions that were introduced with version 1804 should not be used. The subscription types are Metering, and Consumption.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases with hotfix version 1.2108.2.81.
- Cause: Two specific flows sometimes end with the user portal crashing:
- Create a resource > Networking > DNS zone
- Create a resource > Networking > Connection
- Remediation: The following workflow can ensure there are no crashes:
- All services > DNS zone > + Add or All services > Connections > + Add
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all systems with hotfix version 1.2108.2.81 that are using a Microsoft Entra account without an email address in the account profile.
- Remediation: Sign in to the Azure portal, and add an email address to the Microsoft Entra account that is experiencing this issue.
- Occurrence: Common
Public IP and Load Balancer blades display a banner that recommends upgrading from Basic to Standard SKU
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2108 and newer.
- Cause: The Azure portal recommends the upgrade from Basic to Standard SKU; however, this functionality is not supported in Azure Stack Hub.
- Remediation: Don't attempt the upgrade, as it will fail.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to releases 2102 and newer.
- Cause: Menu items are not displayed when clicking on disk instance on the Virtual Machines overview blade.
- Remediation: Refresh the page and the menu should reappear. Alternatively, you can navigate to the specific disk instance via the Disks area in the portal.
- Occurrence: Minor portal issue that occurs consistently.
[!INCLUDE Secret expiration doesn't trigger an alert]
[!INCLUDE Applications deployed to AKS clusters fail to access persistent volumes]

::: moniker range="azs-2102"
For known Azure Stack Hub update issues, see Troubleshooting Updates in Azure Stack Hub.
- Applicable: This issue applies to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Registry (ACR) private preview customers who plan to upgrade to 2102 or apply any hotfixes.
- Remediation: Uninstall AKS and ACR prior to updating to 2102, or prior to applying any hotfixes after updating to 2102. Restart the update after uninstalling these services.
- Occurrence: Any stamp that has ACR or AKS installed will experience this failure.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The two administrative subscription types Metering and Consumption have been disabled and should not be used. If you have resources in them, an alert is generated until those resources are removed.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
-
Cause: The documentation links in the overview page of Virtual Network gateway link to Azure-specific documentation instead of Azure Stack Hub. Use the following links for the Azure Stack Hub documentation:
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Updating/changing the load distribution property (session persistence) has no effect and some virtual machines might not participate in the traffic load distribution. For example, if you have 4 backend virtual machines and only 2 clients connecting to the load balancer, and the load distribution is set to client IP, the client sessions will always use the same backend virtual machines. Changing the load distribution property to "none" to distribute the client connections across all the backend virtual machines will have no effect.
- Remediation: Recreating the load balancing rule will ensure the selected settings are correctly configured to all backend VMs.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2008 and later.
- Cause: IPv6 button is visible on the Add frontend IP address option on a load balancer. These buttons are disabled and cannot be selected.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Both the frontend port and backend port need to be the same in the load balancing rule when floating IP is enabled. This behavior is by design.
- Occurrence: Common
[!INCLUDE resource providers fail in test-azurestack]
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2102.
- Cause: The alert module for customers depending on Syslog for alerts has been disabled in this release. For this release, the health and monitoring pipeline was modified to reduce the number of dependencies and services requirements. As a result, the new services will not emit alerts to the Syslog pipeline.
- Remediation: None.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2102.
- Cause: The infrastructure backup job can display the wrong status (failed or successful) while the status itself is refreshed. This does not impact the consistency of the backup data, but can cause confusion if an actual failure occurred.
- Remediation: The issue will be fixed in the next hotfix for 2102.

For known Azure Stack Hub update issues, see Troubleshooting Updates in Azure Stack Hub.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: During update, a process takes a lock on the new content that needs to be copied to CA VM. When the update fails, the lock is released.
- Remediation: Resume the update.
- Occurrence: Rare
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The two administrative subscriptions that were introduced with version 1804 should not be used. The subscription types are Metering subscription, and Consumption subscription.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
-
Cause: An explicit DenyAllOutbound rule to the internet cannot be created in an NSG during VM creation as this will prevent the communication required for the VM deployment to complete. It will also deny the two essential IPs that are required in order to deploy VMs: DHCP IP:169.254.169.254 and DNS IP: 168.63.129.16.
-
Remediation: Allow outbound traffic to the internet during VM creation, and modify the NSG to block the required traffic after VM creation is complete.
-
Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
-
Cause: The documentation links in the overview page of Virtual Network gateway link to Azure-specific documentation instead of Azure Stack Hub. Use the following links for the Azure Stack Hub documentation:
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When enabling Session Affinity on a load balancer, the 2 tuple hash utilizes the PA IP (Physical Address IP) instead of the private IPs assigned to the VMs. In scenarios where traffic directed to the load balancer arrives through a VPN, or if all the client VMs (source IPs) reside on the same node and Session Affinity is enabled, all traffic is directed to one backend VM.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the 2008 release.
- Cause: The IPv6 button is visible and enabled when creating the frontend IP configuration of a public load balancer. This is a cosmetic issue on the portal. IPv6 is not supported on Azure Stack Hub.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all releases.
- Cause: Both the frontend port and backend port need to be the same in the load balancing rule when floating IP is enabled. This behavior is by design.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Performing Stop-Deallocate on a VM results in MTU configuration on the VM to be removed. This behavior is inconsistent with Azure.
- Occurrence: Common

This article lists known issues in Azure Stack Hub releases. The list is updated as new issues are identified.
Important
If your Azure Stack Hub instance is behind by more than two updates, it's considered out of compliance. You must update to at least the minimum supported version to receive support.
For known Azure Stack Hub update issues, see Troubleshooting Updates in Azure Stack Hub.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: During update, a process takes a lock on the new content that needs to be copied to CA VM. When the update fails, the lock is released.
- Remediation: Resume the update.
- Occurrence: Rare
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The two administrative subscriptions that were introduced with version 1804 should not be used. The subscription types are Metering subscription, and Consumption subscription.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When disassociating an NSG and a NIC that is not attached to a running VM, the update (PUT) operation for that object fails at the network controller layer. The NSG will be updated at the network resource provider layer, but not on the network controller, so the NSG moves to a failed state.
- Remediation: Attach the NICs associated to the NSG that needs to be removed with running VMs, and disassociate the NSG or remove all the NICs that were associated with the NSG.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: An explicit DenyAllOutbound rule to the internet cannot be created in an NSG during VM creation as this will prevent the communication required for the VM deployment to complete.
- Remediation: Allow outbound traffic to the internet during VM creation, and modify the NSG to block the required traffic after VM creation is complete.
- Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
-
Cause: The documentation links in the overview page of Virtual Network gateway link to Azure-specific documentation instead of Azure Stack Hub. Use the following links for the Azure Stack Hub documentation:
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When enabling Session Affinity on a load balancer, the 2 tuple hash utilizes the PA IP (Physical Address IP) instead of the private IPs assigned to the VMs. In scenarios where traffic directed to the load balancer arrives through a VPN, or if all the client VMs (source IPs) reside on the same node and Session Affinity is enabled, all traffic is directed to one backend VM.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The IdleTimeoutInMinutes value for a public IP that is associated to a load balancer cannot be changed. The operation puts the public IP into a failed state.
- Remediation: To bring the public IP back into a successful state, change the IdleTimeoutInMinutes value on the load balancer rule that references the public IP back to the original value (the default is 4 minutes).
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Performing Stop-Deallocate on a VM results in MTU configuration on the VM to be removed. This behavior is inconsistent with Azure.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the 2005 release.
- Cause: A portal bug causes scale set creation with Standard_DS2_v2 size to fail.
- Remediation: Use PowerShell or CLI to deploy this virtual machine scale set VM size.
- Applicable: This issue applies to Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS.
- Cause: Some Linux distributions have transitioned to Python 3.8 and removed the legacy
/usr/bin/python
entrypoint for Python altogether. Linux distribution users who have transitioned to Python 3.x must ensure the legacy/usr/bin/python
entry point exists before attempting to deploy those extensions to their VMs. Otherwise, the extension deployment might fail. - Remediation: Follow the resolution steps in Issues using VM extensions in Python 3-enabled Linux Azure Virtual Machines systems but skip step 2, because Azure Stack Hub does not have the Run command functionality.
- Applicable: This issue applies to 2002 and later.
- Cause: When going through the VM creation experience, you will see the VM size: NV4as_v4. Customers who have the hardware required for the AMD MI25-based Azure Stack Hub GPU preview are able to have a successful VM deployment. All other customers will have a failed VM deployment with this VM size.
- Remediation: By design in preparation for the Azure Stack Hub GPU preview.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When creating a new virtual machine, you may receive an error such as This subscription is at capacity for Total Regional vCPUs on this location. This subscription is using all 50 Total Regional vCPUs available.. This indicates that the quota for total cores available to you has been reached.
- Remediation: Ask your operator for an add-on plan with additional quota. Editing the current plan's quota will not work or reflect increased quota.
- Occurrence: Rare
- Applicable: This issue applies to all releases.
- Cause: When viewing details of a VM in the overview blade, the computer name shows as (not available). This is by design for VMs created from specialized disks/disk snapshots, and appears for Marketplace images as well.
- Remediation: View the Properties blade under Settings.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Creating VMs in an availability set of 3 fault domains and creating a virtual machine scale set instance fails with a FabricVmPlacementErrorUnsupportedFaultDomainSize error during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack Hub environment.
- Remediation: You can create single VMs in an availability set with 2 fault domains successfully. However, scale set instance creation is still not available during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack Hub deployment.
- Applicable: This issue applies to releases 2002 and 2005.
- Cause: If you specify a time period other than 0 in the retention period setting, it reverts to 0 (the default value of this setting) during the 2002 or 2005 update. The 0 days setting takes effect immediately after the update finishes, which causes all existing deleted storage accounts and any upcoming newly deleted storage accounts to be immediately out of retention and marked for periodic garbage collection (which runs hourly).
- Remediation: Manually specify the retention period to a correct period. Any storage account that has already been garbage collected before the new retention period is specified, is not recoverable.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002.
- Cause: If the stamp contains SQL resource provider (RP) version 1.1.33.0 or earlier, upon update of the stamp, the blades for SQL/MySQL do not load.
- Remediation: Update the RP to version 1.1.47.0.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002.
- Cause: If the stamp contains App Service resource provider (RP) version 1.7 and older, upon update of the stamp, the blades for App Service do not load.
- Remediation: Update the RP to version 2002 Q2.

If your Azure Stack Hub instance is behind by more than two updates, it's considered out of compliance. You must update to at least the minimum supported version to receive support.
After applying the 2002 update, an alert for an "Invalid Time Source" may incorrectly appear in the Administrator portal. This false-positive alert can be ignored and will be fixed in an upcoming release.
For known Azure Stack Hub update issues, see Troubleshooting Updates in Azure Stack Hub.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: During update, a process takes a lock on the new content that needs to be copied to CA VM. When the update fails, the lock is released.
- Remediation: Resume the update.
- Occurrence: Rare
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Creating VMs in an availability set of 3 fault domains and creating a virtual machine scale set instance fails with a FabricVmPlacementErrorUnsupportedFaultDomainSize error during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack Hub environment.
- Remediation: You can create single VMs in an availability set with 2 fault domains successfully. However, scale set instance creation is still not available during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack Hub deployment.

- Cause: The two administrative subscriptions that were introduced with version 1804 should not be used. The subscription types are Metering subscription, and Consumption subscription.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: You cannot view permissions to your subscription using the Azure Stack Hub portals.
- Remediation: Use PowerShell to verify permissions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, the name of storage accounts is shown as Storage account - blob, file, table, queue; however, file is not supported in Azure Stack Hub.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002.
- Cause: In the user portal, when creating a Managed Disk snapshot, the Account type box is empty. When you select the Create button with an empty account type, the snapshot creation fails.
- Remediation: Select an account type from the Account type dropdown list, then create the snapshot.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to 1908 and later.
- Cause: When a cable is disconnected from a network adapter, an alert does not show in the administrator portal. This issue is caused because this fault is disabled by default in Windows Server 2019.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: An explicit DenyAllOutbound rule to the internet cannot be created in an NSG during VM creation as this will prevent the communication required for the VM deployment to complete.
- Remediation: Allow outbound traffic to the internet during VM creation, and modify the NSG to block the required traffic after VM creation is complete.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When creating an inbound or an outbound network security rule, the Protocol option shows an ICMP option. This is currently not supported on Azure Stack Hub. This issue is fixed and will not appear in the next Azure Stack Hub release.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When disassociating an NSG and a NIC that is not attached to a running VM, the update (PUT) operation for that object fails at the network controller layer. The NSG will be updated at the network resource provider layer, but not on the network controller, so the NSG moves to a failed state.
- Remediation: Attach the NICs associated to the NSG that needs to be removed with running VMs, and disassociate the NSG or remove all the NICs that were associated with the NSG.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When enabling Session Affinity on a load balancer, the 2 tuple hash utilizes the PA IP (Physical Address IP) instead of the private IPs assigned to the VMs. In scenarios where traffic directed to the load balancer arrives through a VPN, or if all the client VMs (source IPs) reside on the same node and Session Affinity is enabled, all traffic is directed to one backend VM.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: A new network interface cannot be added to a VM that is in a running state.
- Remediation: Stop the virtual machine before adding or removing a network interface.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The primary NIC of a VM cannot be changed. Deleting or detaching the primary NIC results in issues when starting up the VM.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The IdleTimeoutInMinutes value for a public IP that is associated to a load balancer cannot be changed. The operation puts the public IP into a failed state.
- Remediation: To bring the public IP back into a successful state, change the IdleTimeoutInMinutes value on the load balancer rule that references the public IP back to the original value (the default value is 4 minutes).
- Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
-
Cause: The documentation links in the overview page of Virtual Network gateway link to Azure-specific documentation instead of Azure Stack Hub. Use the following links for the Azure Stack Hub documentation:
- Applicable: This issue applies to the 2002 release.
- Cause: There is a portal bug that prevents virtual machine scale set creation with the Standard_DS2_v2 VM size. Creating one will error out with: "{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see Troubleshoot common Azure deployment errors for usage details.","details":[{"code":"BadRequest","message":"{\r\n "error": {\r\n "code": "NetworkProfileValidationError",\r\n "message": "Virtual Machine size Standard_DS2_v2 is not in the allowed list of VM sizes for accelerated networking to be enabled on the VM at index 0 for virtual machine scale set /subscriptions/x/resourceGroups/RGVMSS/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/vmss. Allowed sizes: ."\r\n }\r\n}"}]}"
- Remediation: Create a virtual machine scale set with PowerShell or a Resource Manager template.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002 and later.
- Cause: When going through the VM creation experience, you will see the VM size: NV4as_v4. Customers who have the hardware required for the AMD MI25-based Azure Stack Hub GPU preview are able to have a successful VM deployment. All other customers will have a failed VM deployment with this VM size.
- Remediation: By design in preparation for the Azure Stack Hub GPU preview.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When creating a new virtual machine (VM), the following error might be displayed: Failed to start virtual machine 'vm-name'. Error: Failed to update serial output settings for VM 'vm-name'. The error occurs if you enable boot diagnostics on a VM, but delete your boot diagnostics storage account.
- Remediation: Recreate the storage account with the same name you used previously.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When creating a new virtual machine, you may receive an error such as This subscription is at capacity for Total Regional vCPUs on this location. This subscription is using all 50 Total Regional vCPUs available.. This indicates that the quota for total cores available to you has been reached.
- Remediation: Ask your operator for an add-on plan with additional quota. Editing the current plan's quota will not work or reflect increased quota.
- Occurrence: Rare
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When trying to start a stop-deallocated virtual machine,the following error might be displayed: VM diagnostics Storage account 'diagnosticstorageaccount' not found. Ensure storage account is not deleted. The error occurs if you attempt to start a VM with boot diagnostics enabled, but the referenced boot diagnostics storage account is deleted.
- Remediation: Recreate the storage account with the same name you used previously.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all releases.
- Cause: When viewing details of a VM in the overview blade, the computer name shows as (not available). This is by design for VMs created from specialized disks/disk snapshots, and appears for Marketplace images as well.
- Remediation: View the Properties blade under Settings.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002 and 2005.
- Cause: If you previously specified a time period other than 0 in retention period setting, it would be reverted back to 0 (the default value of this setting) during 2002 and 2005 update. And the 0 days setting would take effect immediately after update finished, which causes all the existing deleted storage accounts and any upcoming newly deleted storage account being immediately out of retention and marked for periodic garbage collection (which runs hourly).
- Remediation: Manually specify the retention period to a proper period. However, any storage account already been garbage collected before the new retention period is specified is not recoverable.
- Applicable: This issue applies to release 2002.
- Cause: If the stamp contains SQL resource provider (RP) version 1.1.33.0 or earlier, upon update of the stamp, the blades for SQL/MySQL will not load.
- Remediation: Update the RP to version 1.1.47.0

- Cause: When a cable is disconnected from a network adapter, an alert does not show in the administrator portal. This issue is caused because this fault is disabled by default in Windows Server 2019.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, when you select a managed disk, with disk type Premium SSD, the drop-down list shows OS Disk. The tooltip next to that option says Certain OS Disk sizes may be available for free with Azure Free Account; however, this is not valid for Azure Stack Hub. In addition, the list includes Free account eligible which is also not valid for Azure Stack Hub.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, when a user attempts to delete a storage container, the operation fails when the user does not toggle Override Azure Policy and RBAC Role settings.
- Remediation: Ensure that the box is checked for Override Azure Policy and RBAC Role settings.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, when you navigate to Virtual Machines and try to refresh using the button at the top, the states fail to update accurately.
- Remediation: The status is automatically updated every 5 minutes regardless of whether the refresh button has been clicked or not. Wait 5 minutes and check the status.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, the name of storage accounts is shown as Storage account - blob, file, table, queue; however, file is not supported in Azure Stack Hub.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, when you create a storage account and view its Configuration, you cannot save configuration changes, as it results in an AJAX error.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the Azure Stack Hub 1910 update or later, with SQL resource provider version 1.1.33.0 or earlier installed.
- Cause: The current version of the SQL resource provider is not compatible with some of the latest portal changes in the 1910 update.
- Remediation: Follow the resource provider update process to apply the SQL resource provider hotfix 1.1.47.0 after Azure Stack Hub is upgraded to the 1910 update (SQL RP version 1.1.47.0). For the MySQL resource provider, it is also recommended that you apply the MySQL resource provider hotfix 1.1.47.0 after Azure Stack Hub is upgraded to 1910 update (MySQL RP version 1.1.47.0).
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The IAM extension is out of date. The Ibiza portal that shipped with Azure Stack Hub introduces a new behavior that causes the RBAC extension to fail if the user is opening the Access Control (IAM) blade for a subscription that is not selected in the global subscription selector (Directory + Subscription in the user portal). The blade displays Loading in a loop, and the user cannot add new roles to the subscription. The Add blade also displays Loading in a loop.
- Remediation: Ensure that the subscription is checked in the Directory + Subscription menu. The menu can be accessed from the top of the portal, near the Notifications button, or via the shortcut on the All resources blade that displays Don't see a subscription? Open Directory + Subscription settings. The subscription must be selected in this menu.
- Applicable: This issue applies to stamps that are running 1908 or earlier.
- Cause: When deploying the SQL resource provider (RP) version 1.1.47.0, the portal shows no assets other than those associated with the SQL RP.
- Remediation: Delete the RP, upgrade the stamp, and re-deploy the SQL RP.
- Applicable: This issue applies to stamps that are running 1907 or later.
- Cause: When accessing the activity log, the portal only shows the first page of entries. Load more results will not load addition entries.
- Remediation: Adjust the time range in the filter to review entries that fall after the first page.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When adding availability set VMs to the backend pool of a load balancer, an error message is displayed on the portal stating Failed to save load balancer backend pool. This is a cosmetic issue on the portal; the functionality is still in place and VMs are successfully added to the backend pool internally.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: An explicit DenyAllOutbound rule cannot be created in an NSG as this will prevent all internal communication to infrastructure needed for the VM deployment to complete.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When disassociating an NSG and a NIC that is not attached to a running VM, the update (PUT) operation for that object fails at the network controller layer. The NSG will be updated at the network resource provider layer, but not on the network controller, so the NSG moves to a failed state.
- Remediation: Attach the NICs associated to the NSG that needs to be removed with running VMs, and disassociate the NSG or remove all the NICs that were associated with the NSG.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: A new network interface cannot be added to a VM that is in a running state.
- Remediation: Stop the virtual machine before adding or removing a network interface.

- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the 1905 release.
- Cause: Unable to successfully resize a managed disk VM. Attempting to resize the VM generates an error with "code": "InternalOperationError", "message": "An internal error occurred in the operation."
- Remediation: We are working to remediate this in the next release. Currently, you must recreate the VM with the new VM size.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The virtual machine scale set creation experience provides CentOS-based 7.2 as an option for deployment. CentOS 7.2 is not available on Azure Stack Marketplace which will cause deployment failures calling out that the image is not found.
- Remediation: Select another operating system for your deployment, or use an Azure Resource Manager template specifying another CentOS image that has been downloaded prior to deployment from the marketplace by the operator.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: You cannot remove a scale set from the Virtual machine scale sets blade.
- Remediation: Select the scale set that you want to remove, then click the Delete button from the Overview pane.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Creating VMs in an availability set of 3 fault domains and creating a virtual machine scale set instance fails with a FabricVmPlacementErrorUnsupportedFaultDomainSize error during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack environment.
- Remediation: You can create single VMs in an availability set with 2 fault domains successfully. However, scale set instance creation is still not available during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack.
- Applicable: This issue applies to 1904 and 1905 release.
- Cause: The instance view blade of a virtual machine scale set located at Azure Stack portal -> Dashboard -> Virtual machine scale sets -> AnyScaleSet - Instances -> AnyScaleSetInstance fails to load, and displays a crying cloud image.
- Remediation: There is currently no remediation and we are working on a fix. Until then, please use the CLI command
az vmss get-instance-view
to get the instance view of a scale set.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: An Ubuntu 18.04 VM created with SSH authorization enabled does not allow you to use the SSH keys to sign in.
- Remediation: Use VM access for the Linux extension to implement SSH keys after provisioning, or use password-based authentication.
- Occurrence: Common

::: moniker range="azs-1904"
This article lists known issues in the 1904 release of Azure Stack. The list is updated as new issues are identified.
Important
Review this section before applying the update.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When attempting to install an Azure Stack update, the status for the update might fail and change state to PreparationFailed. This is caused by the update resource provider (URP) being unable to properly transfer the files from the storage container to an internal infrastructure share for processing.
- Remediation: Starting with version 1901 (1.1901.0.95), you can work around this issue by clicking Update now again (not Resume). The URP then cleans up the files from the previous attempt, and starts the download again.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: The two administrative subscriptions that were introduced with version 1804 should not be used. The subscription types are Metering subscription, and Consumption subscription.
- Remediation: If you have resources running on these two subscriptions, recreate them in user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Deleting user subscriptions results in orphaned resources.
- Remediation: First delete user resources or the entire resource group, and then delete the user subscriptions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: You cannot view permissions to your subscription using the Azure Stack portals.
- Remediation: Use PowerShell to verify permissions.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In both the administrator and user portals, if you search for Docker, the item is incorrectly returned. It is not available in Azure Stack. If you try to create it, an error is displayed.
- Remediation: No mitigation.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This is a new issue with release 1904.
- Cause: The marketplace management screen is not visible when you sign in to the administrator portal.
- Remediation: Refresh the browser.
- Occurrence: Intermittent
- Applicable: This issue applies to 1904.
- Cause: When you filter results in the Add from Azure blade in the Marketplace management tab in the administrator portal, you may see incorrect filtered results.
- Remediation: Sort results by the Name column and the results will be corrected.
- Occurrence: Intermittent
- Applicable: This issue applies to 1904.
- Cause: When you filter results in Marketplace management in the administrator portal, you will see duplicated publisher names under the publisher drop-down.
- Remediation: Select all the duplicates to have the correct list of all the Marketplace products that are available under that publisher.
- Occurrence: Intermittent
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In both the administrator and user portals, if you search for Docker, the item is incorrectly returned. It is not available in Azure Stack. If you try to create it, an error is displayed.
- Remediation: No mitigation.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, when you try to upload a blob using the OAuth(preview) option, the task fails with an error message.
- Remediation: Upload the blob using the SAS option.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, the template deployment UI does not populate parameters for the template names beginning with "_" (the underscore character).
- Remediation: Remove the "_" (underscore character) from the template name.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, if you attempt to add a Backend Pool to a Load Balancer, the operation fails with the error message Failed to update Load Balancer....
- Remediation: Use PowerShell, CLI, or an Azure Resource Manager template to associate the backend pool with a load balancer resource.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, if you attempt to create an Inbound NAT Rule for a Load Balancer, the operation fails with the error message Failed to update Load Balancer....
- Remediation: Use PowerShell, CLI, or an Azure Resource Manager template to associate the backend pool with a load balancer resource.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, the Create Load Balancer window shows an option to create a Standard load balancer SKU. This option is not supported in Azure Stack.
- Remediation: Use the Basic load balancer options instead.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: In the user portal, the Create Public IP Address window shows an option to create a Standard SKU. The Standard SKU is not supported in Azure Stack.
- Remediation: Use the Basic SKU instead for public IP addresses.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: When creating a new Windows Virtual Machine (VM), the following error may be displayed: Failed to start virtual machine 'vm-name'. Error: Failed to update serial output settings for VM 'vm-name'. The error occurs if you enable boot diagnostics on a VM, but delete your boot diagnostics storage account.
- Remediation: Recreate the storage account with the same name you used previously.
- Occurrence: Common

- Remediation: Select the scale set that you want to remove, then click the Delete button from the Overview pane.
- Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Creating VMs in an availability set of 3 fault domains and creating a virtual machine scale set instance fails with a FabricVmPlacementErrorUnsupportedFaultDomainSize error during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack environment.
- Remediation: You can create single VMs in an availability set with 2 fault domains successfully. However, scale set instance creation is still not available during the update process on a 4-node Azure Stack.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: An Ubuntu 18.04 VM created with SSH authorization enabled does not allow you to use the SSH keys to sign in.
- Remediation: Use VM access for the Linux extension to implement SSH keys after provisioning, or use password-based authentication.
- Occurrence: Common
-
Applicable: This is a new issue with release 1904.
-
Cause: A Compute host agent warning appears after restarting a node in the scale unit. The restart changes the default startup setting for the compute host agent service. This alert looks similar to the following example:
NAME Compute Host Agent is not responding to calls. SEVERITY Warning STATE Active CREATED TIME 5/16/2019, 10:08:23 AM UPDATED TIME 5/22/2019, 12:27:27 PM COMPONENT M#####-NODE02 DESCRIPTION Could not communicate with the Compute Host Agent running on node: M#####-NODE02 REMEDIATION Please disable Compute Host Agent feature flag and collect logs for further diagnosis.
-
Remediation:
- This alert can be ignored. The agent not responding does not have any impact on operator and user operations or user applications. The alert will reappear after 24 hours if it is closed manually.
- The issue is fixed in the latest Azure Stack hotfix for 1904.
-
Occurrence: Common
- Applicable: This issue applies to the 1904 and 1905 releases.
- Cause: The instance view blade of a scale set located on the Azure Stack portal, in Dashboard > Virtual machine scale sets > AnyScaleSet - Instances > AnyScaleSetInstance fails to load.
- Remediation: There is currently no remediation and we are working on a fix. Until then, please use the CLI cmdlet
az vmss get-instance-view
to get the instance view of a virtual machine scale set.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: Failed user image creation will put the user image service into a bad state. User image creation and deletion operations will start to fail. User image deletion may fail with error: "Error: An internal disk management error occurred."
- Remediation: No mitigation. Open a support ticket with Microsoft.
- Applicable: This issue applies to all supported releases.
- Cause: ConvertTo-AzureRmVMManagedDisk is not supported in Azure Stack and results in creating a disk with $null ID. This prevents you from performing operations on the VM, such as start and stop. The disk does not appear in the UI, nor does it appear via the API. The VM at that point cannot be repaired and must be deleted.
- Remediation: To convert your disks correctly, follow the convert to managed disks guide.
- Tenants must register the storage resource provider before creating their first Azure Function in the subscription.
- Some tenant portal user experiences are broken due to an incompatibility with the portal framework in 1903; principally, the UX for deployment slots, testing in production and site extensions. To work around this issue, use the Azure App Service PowerShell module or the Azure CLI. The portal experience will be restored by upgrading your deployment of Azure App Service on Azure Stack to 1.6 (Update 6).
