Azure Migrate - Create Deployment failed during Execute Migration (Microsoft.MigrateV2-ExecuteMigrate-InMageRcm)

Question

Migration execution fails with "Create Deployment" error when starting replication for GCP Linux servers. The ARM deployment Microsoft.MigrateV2-ExecuteMigrate-InMageRcm-20266711747 fails with status "Failed".

Problem Description:

I am performing a migration from GCP Linux VMs to Azure using Azure Migrate (agent-based physical server migration).

• Discovery and Replication Appliance have been configured successfully.
• When starting the migration (Enable Replication / Execute Migration), the operation fails at the ARM deployment stage.

Error Details:

The only error message from the deployment:

{
  "code": "322009",
  "message": "Replication could not be enabled."
}

I require support for Azure Migrate; further information can be found in the attachment below:

Hello @Bingxue Zhang ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you're hitting a "Create Deployment" failure with error code 322009 ("Replication could not be enabled") when trying to start replication for your GCP Linux VMs using the agent-based method in Azure Migrate.

This error is fairly common in agent-based (InMageRcm) flows for GCP/physical servers. It usually means the ARM deployment that creates the target Azure resources (VM, disks, NIC, etc.) is failing for a specific reason, even though discovery and the replication appliance look healthy.

Please check the inner deployment error. In the Azure portal:

• Go to your target Resource Group (rg-team-5027) → Deployments → open the failed deployment (Microsoft.MigrateV2-ExecuteMigrate-InMageRcm-20266711747).
• Review the Operation details for the exact failed resource and message (e.g., permissions, quota, policy, VM SKU, or network issues).

You can also run this Azure CLI command for a quick summary:

az deployment operation group list --resource-group your RG name --name Microsoft.MigrateV2-ExecuteMigrate-InMageRcm-20266711747 --query "[?properties.provisioningState=='Failed']" -o table

Common Fixes to try:

1. Permissions: Ensure your account (and the Azure Migrate service) has Contributor on the target RG, plus Virtual Machine Contributor + Network Contributor on the target VNet.
2. Quotas & SKU Availability: Check vCPU, disk, and NIC quotas in the target region. Confirm the selected target VM size is available.
3. Azure Policy: Look for any deny policies affecting the target RG (regions, SKUs, tags, disk types, etc.).
4. Target Settings: In the Azure Migrate project, double-check the Compute + Network settings match your source (disk layout, VNet/Subnet in the same region, supported OS disk type).
5. Source Agent Health: Verify the Mobility service on the GCP Linux VMs shows a healthy heartbeat and the replication appliance is Connected.

Once you apply the fix from the detailed error, retry Enable Replication.
