Move Subcription

Handian Sudianto 5,541

hello,

I have 2 subscription on my tenant and i try to move one VM from subcription-1 to subcription-2 with always got this error. Anyone know why?

User's image

On the log i can see why another resource like NSG, Virtual Network gateway etc is listed?

I'm only want to migrate the VM and the disk without move another resources.

Please check details for missing resource Ids. (Code: MissingMoveDependentResources, Target: Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces) /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/vnet_failover, /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/nsg_test_failover, /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/vnet-dr-2-prod, /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworkGateways/vngdr-2,

Hi @Handian Sudianto ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Whenever you try to move VM, there are dependent resources connected to VM. NIC, NSG,VNETs are all dependent resources of VM without which VM won't move

Please make sure to move the VM and dependent resources together from the source subscription to the target subscription.

If you want to move VM only, then you have to first detach VNET associated to it and then move it.

If you are using portal, to move resources, select VM and all dependent parts of it as per below reference:

For more details please check this document- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription#use-the-portal

Note: Scenarios not supported

The following scenarios aren't yet supported:

Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Standard SKU Load Balancer or Standard SKU Public IP can't be moved.

Virtual machines in an existing virtual network can be moved to a new subscription only when the virtual network and all of its dependent resources are also moved.

Virtual machines created from Marketplace resources with plans attached can't be moved across subscriptions. For a potential workaround, see Virtual machines with Marketplace plans.

Low-priority virtual machines and low-priority virtual machine scale sets can't be moved across resource groups or subscriptions.

Virtual machines in an availability set can't be moved individually.

Virtual machines using scheduled patching can't be moved across resource groups or subscriptions. For a potential workaround, see Managing VM updates with Maintenance Configurations

Hi Handian Sudianto,

I have reviewed your latest comment, based upon your concern if you want to migrate the VM only and are unable to detach the NIC because it shows 'no network interface available to detach', it’s likely because a VM must always have at least one network interface attached. Here’s how you can proceed:

Add a Temporary Network Interface: Create a new, temporary network interface in the same resource group and virtual network as your VM. Attach this temporary network interface to your VM.

Detach the Original Network Interface: Once the temporary network interface is attached, you can detach the original network interface from the VM.

Move the VM: Proceed with moving the VM to the new subscription. After the move, you can reconfigure the network interfaces as needed.

For more details, please refer to the following documentation:
Add network interfaces to or remove network interfaces from virtual machines
Move Azure resources to a new resource group or subscription

hi @Sai Krishna Katakam

I create support request to Microsoft and they say it's better to make disk snapshot then copy the snapshot to new subscription, make manage disk based this snapshot and create the vm using this manage disk.

I think this way is more easily than we use Azure Resource Mover.
