Enable VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD for single availability zones

Contributors netapp-manini

For deploying VM instances in locally-redundant storage (LRS) single availability zones, you should activate the Microsoft Microsoft.Compute/VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD feature for your subscriptions. In an HA mode, this feature facilitates deploying nodes in separate fault domains in the same availability zone.

Unless you activate this feature, zonal deployment doesn't occur, and the previous LRS non-zonal deployment becomes effective.

For information about VM deployment in single availability zone, refer to High-availability pairs in Azure.

Perform these steps as a user with "Owner" privileges:

Steps

  1. Access Azure Cloud Shell from the Azure portal. For information, refer to Microsoft Azure documentation: Get started with Azure Cloud Shell.

  2. Register for the Microsoft.Compute/VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD feature by running this command:

    az account set -s <Azure_subscription_name_or_ID>
    az feature register --name VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD --namespace Microsoft.Compute

  3. Verify the registration status and output sample:

    az feature show -n VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD --namespace Microsoft.Compute
    {
    "id": "/subscriptions/<ID>/providers/Microsoft.Features/providers/Microsoft.Compute/features/VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD",
    "name": "Microsoft.Compute/VMOrchestratorZonalMultiFD",
    "properties": {
    "state": "Registered"
    },
    "type": "Microsoft.Features/providers/features"
