Azure-quickstart-templates: azure RM template deployment: all operations successfull, but overall fail message

Created on 24 Feb 2016 · 20Comments · Source: Azure/azure-quickstart-templates

We are using azure RM for starting a VM with vm extensions. Everything seems fine, all Operations are successfull, but the very last event reports fail:

The failing event is a

operationName : Microsoft.Resources/deployments/write
resourceUri: /subscriptions/947dafa0-8a1d-xxxx-909b-c71a0fa03ea6/resourcegroups/cbstoreancsa/deployments/Microsoft.Template

What is actually the meaning of write of a /deployments/Microsoft.Template?
What can be wrong with it?

log

The last event from azure group log show $group --json

@lalyos This is a known limitation in the platform where a dynamic public ipaddress doesn't resolve itself until the VM is up and running. There are two options to workaround

1) Create the Public IP Address in static mode. That will ensure that Public IP address is immediately allocated. However, note that you might incur additional charges.
2) Change the dependency from Public IP address to the Virtual Machine that the IP address is attached to. This will ensure that the public ip address is always available.

Adding @ravbhatnagar for the write questions

@lalyos The best way to check why the extension failed is to go to resources.azure.com and browse to your VM and check its instance view

singhkays on 24 Feb 2016

@singhkay The extensions didn't failt at all. Thats the strange thing: all operations succeeded,
except the last one which is a write on resource: /deployments/Microsoft.Template.

I dont understand at all what the write on Template means?
how could it fail / why did it fail

lalyos on 24 Feb 2016

@lalyos you need to dump the entire output of:

azure group log show testsshvm --json | jq '.[] | select(.status.value == "Failed")'

There must be some text associated with the error.... if there isn't, that is in itself a bug.

squillace on 28 Feb 2016

@squillace I just removed some "it-might-be-sensitive" fields, but no i didnet found any more details about the cause of the fail.

So From 76 events this is the only failing

@ravbhatnagar Any ideas on what failed?

singhkays on 1 Mar 2016

related to this - https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/1801. This has been fixed in the March release of PS.

ravbhatnagar on 1 Mar 2016

@lalyos did you use PS to deploy this template?

squillace on 1 Mar 2016

@vivsriaus - Can you please verify if we have the same issue in CLI as well?

ravbhatnagar on 1 Mar 2016

@squillace No I wasnt using poweshell, I was using the xplat cli, and also tested the same template on azure portal, with the same result.

lalyos on 1 Mar 2016

Btw if you want to reproduce, here is my template:

lalyos on 1 Mar 2016

It may be an underlying issue to #1801 that also affected xplat; but having no error string is wrong. We have someone looking at it internally as we speak.

squillace on 1 Mar 2016

Oh, and what version of the xplat were you using, @lalyos?

squillace on 1 Mar 2016

This is not a client side issue - from the screenshot, it looks like ARM is throwing an error without any details. We'll have someone from ARM look into it.

vivsriaus on 1 Mar 2016

Hi @vivsriaus do ypu have any update on this one? Its still has the same behaviour.

lalyos on 22 Mar 2016

@lalyos This is a known limitation in the platform where a dynamic public ipaddress doesn't resolve itself until the VM is up and running. There are two options to workaround

mahthi on 22 Mar 2016

@mahthi Can you explain your last two answers?
I have almost the same issue but i can't deploy it with your solutions.

this here is my issue ... [https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/2180]

See also a workaround here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/583 although I prefer (and am using) the solution of making the publicIpAllocationMethod be Static.

JohnRusk on 19 Jul 2017

Hi @mahthi

Change the dependency from Public IP address to the Virtual Machine that the IP address is attached to. This will ensure that the public ip address is always available

Can you please confirm on this? In a normal exported VM ARM template, VM has the dependency on the network interface which has the dependency on the public IP address. It doesn't output the IP address right way from ARM. It takes awhile to get the IP address. If I miss out something, please share me an example ARM template. Thanks.

Example The example below doesn't work on the first run.


 "name": "[parameters('virtualMachineName')]",
            "type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
            "apiVersion": "2018-04-01",
            "location": "[parameters('location')]",
            "dependsOn": [
                "[concat('Microsoft.Network/publicIpAddresses/', parameters('publicIpAddressName'))]",
                "[concat('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/', parameters('networkInterfaceName'))]",
                "[concat('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', parameters('diagnosticsStorageAccountName'))]"
            ],
