moving to the Tier to another Tier

Question

Answer 1

Hello **IT Support
**I understand you're having trouble moving the storage account from one tier to another. Here are some possible reasons:

Azure only permits one tier-change operation on a share at a time. If you start a “change tier” process and then try another before the first is finished, you'll see this message until the initial operation completes.

Please check the activity logs to see if any previous operation is still running. If so, wait for it to finish before starting a new one.

Tier transitions for large shares or in high-latency situations can take several minutes or longer. Once the share displays the new tier, you can request another change.

Or otherwise try with below CLI commands:

az storage share-rm update \
  --resource-group <rg-name> \
  --storage-account <storage-account-name> \
  --name az-sfprojects \
  --access-tier Hot

Sometimes the tier change may take longer than expected. Please wait, and if it does not succeed, let me know.

Answer 2

If you made two tier changes in within a short time span, the second one is bound to fail because the previous one must complete first
