Azure Databricks Workspace Unable to Access Workspace Storage Account

Question

Databricks appears unable to access the workspace storage account. When attempting to display notebook cell results, an error returns: "Failed to upload command result to DBFS. Error message: dbstoragekbbxxxxxxxxx.dfs.core.windows.net: Name or service not known"

Further, I am unable to see or load data from the unity catalog. Data is available in the UI, but not in the workspace notebooks or SQL editor.

Hello Hutton, Randy,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are having issues with Azure Databricks Workspace whereby you are unable to Access Workspace Storage Account and unable to see or load data from the unity catalog when Data is available in the UI, but not in the workspace notebooks or SQL editor.

For the authentication (Access) issue:

Check Network and Firewall Settings, Authentication credentials, and Service Principal permissions. For network and firewall: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/security/network/storage/firewall-support

For the Unity Catalog Data Visibility Issues:

Ensure that external locations and storage credentials in the Unity Catalog are correctly configured and also insufficient permissions can prevent data from being accessed in notebooks or SQL editor.
