How to enable Subscription for November 2022 feature

Question

We have SQL Managed Instance in Production and related subscription is not eligible for Nov 2022 features to stop/start the managed instance in portal. How we can make it eligible

Answer 1

@Abhishek Jain Thank you for the ask.

Initially, only the Azure Dev/Test offers and subscriptions that are designated for Dev/Test workloads are enabled for the November 2022 Feature Wave.

Supported offer types include:

• Enterprise Dev/Test (MS-AZR-0148P)
• Pay-As-You-Go Dev/Test (MS-AZR-0023P)
• Visual Studio Test Professional Credit (MS-AZR-0060P) (*)
• Other Offer IDs that are eligible for DevTest workload types

(*) Customers using MS-AZR-0060P may not have regional quota by default, if that's the case, customers should Request a quota increase

You can check the offer type for your subscription on Azure Portal on the subscription page.

The support for other types of subscriptions, including subscriptions designated for Production workloads, will become available over the course of the next several months. Unsupported subscription types cannot be enabled individually.

Hope that helps.

I think sometimes new features require a minimum version of Azure SQL Managed Instance. You may need to update your instance to the latest version to support the new feature.

If your instance is deployed using Azure Resource Manager templates, you may need to modify the template to enable the feature. (If applicable of course)

Can you also try with Azure CLI (Try and tell us) :

az sql mi update --name "<ManagedInstanceName>" --resource-group "<ResourceGroupName>" --set properties.<featureProperty>=<value>

If you are not able to it you may need to contact the support team. They will help you :)
