When trying to use BeginAttachDetachDataDisks(Using GO SDK), I'm getting the following error: The subscription is not enabled for using the attach detach data disks API. I have the attachDisk & detachDisk permission added for the subscription.

Question

When trying to use BeginAttachDetachDataDisks, I'm getting the following error: "The subscription is not enabled for using the attach detach data disks API". I have the attachDisk & detachDisk permission added for the subscription. I'm able to do the same through CLI. The POST command seems to be the same in both the case. Is there any special permission required at the subscription level to do this? The attachDisk and detachDisk permission that exists for the subscription is under Microsoft.ClassicCompute (Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualMachines/attachDisk/action)

I did not find any similar permission under Microsoft.Compute. Is that the difference?

How do I fix it?

Solution

In order to use that specific API you will have to follow these steps to enable it in your subscription:

Prerequisites To register feature you need Contributor or Owner role on subscription. You can register this feature from CLI, first login: az login Then select your subscription: az account set --subscription "xxxxxx" ->Please replace xxxx by your Sub. ID Then enable the API for your subscription: az feature registration create --namespace Microsoft.Compute --name UseNewDataDisksAttachDetachApi Additionally, you also need to enable a feature called EtagPreview: az feature registration show --name EtagPreview --provider-namespace Microsoft.Compute
