How to resolve Azure resource migration issue where VM resources are moved to new subscription but the VM remained in the previous subscription ?

Lawrence Wong 0

I initiated an Azure linux VM migration from subscription A to subscription B. The process is validated and successful. Upon checking, only the VM resources (network, disks) was moved to subscription B. The VM itself is still in subscription A. Now I cannot move VM to subscription B coz the validation process indicated the associated resources are not there/included.

Now when I tried to move the virtualmachine and one of the disk OS_disk, an error message indicating the OS_disk has the same name of another resource in the target resource group

(Code: ResourceMoveProviderValidationFailed) The move resources request contains resources like '/subscriptions/12babda7-597a-46fe-961f-f097434e96a5/resourceGroups/JMICE/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/VM-MAPPS_OsDisk_1_35236fd4620343da982def08c79bf64d' which have the same name as a resource in the target resource group.

Hi Lawrence Wong,
Thank you for patience while reviewing the issue
Based upon your query there will be the several issue might be cause you can try the following step to resolve you issue

First, please confirm whether the network, disk and VM are in the same resource group. If the network, disk and VM are in different resource groups, this could cause issues, even if the validation is successful. To resolve this, gather all the resources you want to move into a single resource group in Subscription A, and then try moving the resources to Subscription B again.

And you provided another comment with more information about the issue. The problem arises because a resource with the same name already exists, which is why the issue occurs. Please rename the conflicting resource and try again.
The error message states: "which have the same name as a resource in the target resource group."

Please refer this document Scenario for move across subscriptions

Note: Before moving the VM and its associated resources, make sure to back up your data and create snapshots of the disks to prevent any loss. Also, check for all dependencies, like NICs and public IPs, to ensure everything needed is included in the move

Thanks Akshay,

I have managed to delete the VM in one subscription but the remaining resources (Public IP, Network Security Group, Virtual Network and Network Interface) in another subscription could not be deleted.

The public IP was disassociated but still cannot be deleted.

Can I send the screenshot here ?

Hi Lawrence Wong,
Thank you for replying back to us. Before sending any details, please hide the sensitive info and share the details/screenshot
For another subscription, it's also important to check if the user has the right permissions to delete these resources, as a lack of permissions can cause issues. Additionally, make sure there aren't any locks on the resources that would prevent deletion. there might still be dependencies preventing the deletion, even if the public IP is disassociated. Sometimes, resources can be in a state that doesn't allow deletion, so it's good to verify their current status.

If problems persist, trying to delete the resources using Azure CLI or PowerShell might.
