Azure Batch : AzureFileShareConfiguration mount drive disconnected

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create a Pool using Azure Batch . I have uploaded content to Azure Storage using File Shares.
I would like my Pool to mount this Azure File Share as virtual file system (ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/virtual-file-mount#mount-a-virtual-file-system-on-a-pool ).

I am creating AzureFileShareConfiguration object using code:

mount_configuration=batchmodels.MountConfiguration(azure_file_share_configuration=batchmodels.AzureFileShareConfiguration(  
                                                    account_name="mystorage",  
                                                    azure_file_url="https://mystorage.file.core.windows.net/my-share1",  
                                                    account_key="mystorage/key==",  
                                                    relative_mount_path="S"                                                      
                                                    )  
                                            )  

Using this, I get "CMDKEY: Credentials added successfully" in fsmounts. But when I RDP to the node in the pool, the S drive appears "Disconnected".

My Azure batch package versions are:

azure-batch==8.0.0
azure-common==1.1.24

Can you please help diagnose the issue or suggest the right usage?

Thanks and Best Regards,

@Kale, Vaibhav Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused
The relative path (relative_mount_path) on the compute node where the file system will be mounted. All file systems are mounted relative to the Batch mounts directory, accessible via the AZ_BATCH_NODE_MOUNTS_DIR environment variable.

Azure Files is the standard Azure cloud file system offering with SMB protocol. To learn more about how to get any of the parameters in the mount configuration code sample, Refer to How to use an Azure Files share.
