Hello, may I know the reason why I cannot migrate Azure Storage Account from LRS to ZRS. We are in West Europe and some of our Storage have no issues migrating from LRS to ZRS on the same region which is West Europe. The last time I changed the Redundancy of the Storage Account with issue is 1 week ago, so it should allow migration. The error the keep prompting is Moving LRS to ZRS is not available in the West Europe Region. It seemed weird that it work on some of the Storage Account while some doesn't Work. All Storage we have are already StorageV2. Any clue on this issue. Thank you

    Hi,

    Customer-initiated conversion from LRS to ZRS isn't supported for West Europe. You need to do support-initiated conversion instead.

    Below are the steps to open ticket for support-initiated conversion from the documentation:

    Support-initiated conversion

    Customers can still request a conversion by opening a support request with Microsoft.

    Tip

    If you need to convert more than one storage account, create a single support ticket and specify the names of the accounts to convert on the Additional details tab.

    Follow these steps to request a conversion from Microsoft:

    1. In the Azure portal, navigate to a storage account that you want to convert.
    2. Under Support + troubleshooting, select New Support Request.
    3. Complete the Problem description tab based on your account information:
      • Summary: (some descriptive text).
      • Issue type: Select Technical.
      • Subscription: Select your subscription from the drop-down.
      • Service: Select My Services, then Storage Account Management for the Service type.
      • Resource: Select a storage account to convert. If you need to specify multiple storage accounts, you can do so on the Additional details tab.
      • Problem type: Choose Data Migration.
      • Problem subtype: Choose Migrate to ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS.

    4. Select Next. The Recommended solution tab might be displayed briefly before it switches to the Solutions page. On the Solutions page, you can check the eligibility of your storage account(s) for conversion:
      • Target replication type: (choose the desired option from the drop-down)
      • Storage accounts from: (enter a single storage account name or a list of accounts separated by semicolons)
      • Select Submit.

    5. Take the appropriate action if the results indicate your storage account isn't eligible for conversion. Otherwise, select Return to support request.
    6. Select Next. If you have more than one storage account to migrate, on the Details tab, specify the name for each account, separated by a semicolon. Screenshot showing how to request a conversion - Additional details tab.
    7. Provide the required information on the Additional details tab, then select Review + create to review and submit your support ticket. An Azure support agent reviews your case and contacts you to provide assistance.
