Create a NetApp Account

Completed

Creating a NetApp account enables you to set up a capacity pool so that you can create a volume. You use the Azure NetApp Files pane to create a new NetApp account.

• A NetApp account serves as an administrative grouping of the constituent capacity pools.
• A NetApp account isn't the same as your general Azure storage account.
• A NetApp account is regional in scope.
• You can have multiple NetApp accounts in a region, but each NetApp account is tied to only a single region.

You need to first sign in to the Azure portal and access the Azure NetApp Files pane by using one of the following methods:

• Search for Azure NetApp Files in the Azure portal search box.
• Select All services in the navigation, and then filter to Azure NetApp Files.

From the Azure NetApp Files pane, you can select + Add to create a new NetApp account. In the New NetApp account window, provide the following information for your NetApp account:

• Account name: Specify a unique name for the subscription.

• Subscription: Select a subscription from your existing subscriptions.

• Resource group: Use an existing resource group or create a new one.

• Location: Select the region where you want the account and its child resources to be located.
