Azure-docs: writeAcceleratorEnabled is not working in ARM template.

[nitinkhandelwal26]

Can we use ARM template for enabling Write Accelerator? when I am using writeAcceleratorEnabled : true in ARM template for VM deployment, its giving me error : There is no Tag exists.
Please help me on priority.
(I am using Templates feature of Azure portal to deploy my ARM Template)

Hi,
Could you please give us additional details about your deployment? i.e. What disks are you using WA on, are they Managed Disks on Premium Storage? What VM-Size are you using, etc.
Thanks!

[nitinkhandelwal26]

Yes, I am using premium managed disks on M series vm, but using arm template for deployment not api or powershell

[nitinkhandelwal26]

Does this attribute works with arm template?

[mimckitt]

I am not finding any information that this works using ARM templates....

@raiye do you have any idea?

[raiye]

WA is supported using ARM templates using the REST API. Please ensure chocolatey is installed for the armclient and your caching properties are compliant. Here is a sample template: https://github.com/AzureCAT-GSI/SAP-HANA-ARM/blob/master/Vms/extralarge.json

[mimckitt]

Thanks @raiye!

@nitinkhandelwal26 I will close for now. If you have additional questions following the example provide please let us know.

[nitinkhandelwal26]

Thanks @raiyehttps://github.com/raiye!

Please provide my feedback to ARM development team:

I am developing Dynamic ARM template which is having multiple VMs for SAP deployment but issue is that writeAcceleratorEnabled is not supported in other type of VMs, So, its become very tricky in to write completely dynamic template.

So, It would be better if this property should be available in all types of VM template, in that scenario i need not to repeat the VM resource deployment in ARM template for M series VMs and Other Type of VMs.

Nitin Khandelwal

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately we are only supporting Write Accelerator for M-series right now but I will make sure to pass your feedback along and see what we can do to open that up to the other sizes.
Thanks again!

West Europe,

But creating disks while deployment of VM,

In your example arm template, you guys first creating managed disk resources then attaching disk to vm, using createoption: attach,

[raiye]

Hi Nitin,

Write Accelerator is only supported on Managed Disks. Please ensure that you are deploying Managed Disks while you are creating your VM, and not standard disks.

Thank you,
Rashmi Iyer

[mimckitt]

Thanks @raiye! Good catch.

@nitinkhandelwal26 please ensure you are using manged disks and it should work. If it doesn't just let us know and we can reopen and take a look.

[nitinkhandelwal26]

Dear Micah/Rashmi,

I am already using Managed Premium disks only.

Below is section from my ARM template for Storage config of VM deployment:

"storageProfile": {
"imageReference": {
"id": "[variables('customOSImageId')]"
},
"osDisk": {
"createOption": "FromImage",
"managedDisk": {
"storageAccountType": "Premium_LRS"
}
},
"copy": [
{
"name": "dataDisks",
"count": "[length(variables('storageDefinitions')[concat(variables('Storage_Devices_ConfigID'),'_VM',variables('configDefinition')[copyIndex()].VM_ID )])]",
"input": {
"caching": "None",
"writeAcceleratorEnabled": "[variables('storageDefinitions')[concat(variables('Storage_Devices_ConfigID'),'_VM',variables('configDefinition')[copyIndex()].VM_ID)][copyIndex('dataDisks')].MPC_WRITE_ACCELERATOR]",
"diskSizeGB": "[variables('storageDefinitions')[concat(variables('Storage_Devices_ConfigID'),'_VM',variables('configDefinition')[copyIndex()].VM_ID)][copyIndex('dataDisks')].DISK_SIZE]",
"lun": "[copyIndex('dataDisks')]",
"name": "[concat(toLower(concat(variables('baseVMName'),'1', variables('configDefinition')[copyIndex()].VM_ID)),'__', variables('storageDefinitions')[concat(variables('Storage_Devices_ConfigID'),'_VM',variables('configDefinition')[copyIndex()].VM_ID)][copyIndex('dataDisks')].diskLabel)]",
"createOption": "Empty"
},
"managedDisk": {
"storageAccountType": "Premium_LRS"
}
}
]
},

You can remove the variables to see normal implementation.

Please help.

Regards,
Nitin Khandelwal

@nitinkhandelwal26 Have you attempted to enable write accelerator via the portal at all? That way we could be sure it is an issue with the template and not something else?

[nitinkhandelwal26]

no i have not tested it via portal, i don't know where this property is in portal.
Secondly, ARM template should support write accelerator as per documentation. can you please test it at your end for sample ARM template which should have M servies VM and write accelerator enabled.

[mimckitt]

This same doc expalins how to do it via the portal

I am working on a repo but at this point in time I do not have enough cores avaialble in my subscription to create such a large VM. So I need to fix that issue first.

@raiye do you have enough cores to repo this in the meantime?

[mimckitt]

@nitinkhandelwal26 I have synced with @raiye offline and we both believe this is simply an issue with the template you are using. At this point there is not much else we can do as per the scope of these GitHub comments.

If you would like, you can email me at [email protected] and I can enable a free support request for you. That way you can work over the phone and screen share with an engineer to get your template sorted out. I will close this for now but will be on the lookout for your email.

in addition, if you need write accelerator enabled now and don't have time to wait I suggest just doing it via the portal to unblock yourself.
