Hi ,
I am having storage account in which I am getting an recommendation from upgrading it to GPV2 ie General Purpose V2 . But there is a dependency like it is connected with HD insight Cluster. So is there any issue like where if I upgrade the storage account to GPV2 will it cause any impacts in HD insight cluster ?
But I have HD insight cluster that I know that upgrading GPv1 to GPv2 doesn't impact but that storage account is integrated in HD insight cluster in azure so will be impact in HD Insight Cluster
Hi Sumedh, It's in place upgrade so it shouldn't have any impact as HD insight have support for both versions. And I haven't seen any issues as such in other scenarios unless you have custom app using outdated SDK . "Although Microsoft recommends general-purpose v2 accounts for most scenarios, Microsoft will continue to support general-purpose v1 accounts for new and existing customers. You can create general-purpose v1 storage accounts in new regions whenever Azure Storage is available in those regions. Microsoft does not currently have a plan to deprecate support for general-purpose v1 accounts and will provide at least one year's advance notice before deprecating any Azure Storage feature. Microsoft will continue to provide security updates for general-purpose v1 accounts, but no new feature development is expected for this account type." So if you have any doubts you can proceed with V1 for now.

There is no downtime or risk of data loss associated with upgrading to a general-purpose v2 storage account.
Upgrading to a general-purpose v2 storage account from your general-purpose v1 or Blob storage accounts is straightforward. You can upgrade using the Azure portal, PowerShell, or Azure CLI. There is no downtime or risk of data loss associated with upgrading to a general-purpose v2 storage account. The account upgrade happens via a simple Azure Resource Manager operation that changes the account type.
General-purpose v2 storage accounts support the latest Azure Storage features and incorporate all of the functionality of general-purpose v1 and Blob storage accounts. General-purpose v2 accounts are recommended for most storage scenarios. General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for Azure Storage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices. General-purpose v2 accounts support default account access tiers of hot or cool and blob level tiering between hot, cool, or archive.

Additional information: Upgrading the storage account from General Purpose v1 (GPv1) to General Purpose v2 (GPv2) should not directly impact your HDInsight cluster. However, it is essential to be cautious and consider the following points:
Storage Account Type Compatibility: Check if your HDInsight cluster is compatible with GPv2 storage accounts. In most cases, HDInsight clusters should work fine with GPv2 accounts, but it's always a good practice to verify compatibility by referring to the Azure HDInsight documentation or contacting Azure Support.
Backup and Testing: Before making any changes, ensure you have appropriate backups of your data and configurations. You can create a snapshot of your existing GPv1 storage account to have a point-in-time backup. Additionally, consider creating a test HDInsight cluster connected to the GPv2 storage account to perform testing and validation before upgrading the production cluster.
Data Migration: While upgrading the storage account from GPv1 to GPv2 should not result in data loss, it is crucial to verify that your data is intact and accessible after the upgrade. Perform a validation of the data in the GPv2 account to ensure it aligns with the data in the GPv1 account.
Service Interruption: The upgrade process itself should not cause any service interruption to your HDInsight cluster. However, always plan for potential downtime, especially during any maintenance or configuration changes.
Performance Considerations: GPv2 storage accounts offer better performance capabilities. Depending on your workload and requirements, this may positively impact your HDInsight cluster's performance. However, it's essential to review your cluster's performance metrics after the upgrade to ensure that it meets your expectations.
HDInsight Version: If you are using an older version of HDInsight, it's a good idea to check for any specific recommendations or limitations related to GPv2 storage accounts in that version. Newer HD
