Creating a Fabric subscription

Question

Nothing happens after I create a Fabric subscription. I have been waiting for 7 hours.

Answer 1

Fabric capacity creation can sometimes take time while the resource is provisioning. To handle a long-running or apparently stuck deployment, use these steps:

1. Verify provisioning state in Azure
   • In the Azure portal, go to Resource groups and open the resource group where the Fabric capacity was created.
   • Select the Microsoft Fabric capacity resource.
   • Check the provisioningState in the Overview or Activity log. If it is not Succeeded after several hours, the deployment is likely stuck.
2. Use Azure CLI wait to track or block on completion
   • If managing via CLI, use:

          az fabric capacity wait \
            --resource-group <your-resource-group> \
            --name <your-capacity-name> \
            --created
     

   • This waits until the capacity provisioning state is Succeeded, or times out based on --timeout (default 3600 seconds). Adjust --interval and --timeout as needed.
3. If provisioning never reaches Succeeded
   • If the capacity remains in a non-succeeded state for many hours, delete the Fabric capacity resource and recreate it, then again monitor the provisioning state (either in the portal or with az fabric capacity wait).
4. Check subscription and quota
   • Ensure the Azure subscription used for the Fabric capacity is active and not blocked.
   • If capacity creation is failing due to quota limits, submit a quota increase request:
     1. In Azure portal, open New support request.
     2. On Problem description, set Issue type to Service and subscription limits (quotas) and select the subscription.
     3. For Quota type, type Fabric and select Microsoft Fabric.
     4. On Additional details, open Quota details, specify the required limits, then complete and submit the request.
5. If still blocked
   • If the subscription itself is not fully active or has an account flag, work with Azure support via the support request flow until the subscription is fully enabled, then retry creating the Fabric capacity.
