Cannot delete Service Bus Namespace

Question

Cannot delete Service Bus Namespace

Mark Pith 20

I am attempting to delete a Premium Service Bus namespace. The service bus is not being used, nor has it been used. It fails due to an ongoing migration, of which we are not aware of any. Georeplication is not enabled, nor has it been in the past.

mark [ ~ ]$ az servicebus namespace delete --namespace-name nxxx-xxx --resource-group Nxxxx-dev-servicebus-rg (MigrationConfigCannotDeleteConflict) Migration config cannot be deleted because replication is in progress. Please complete or abort migration before attempting to delete the config. Code: MigrationConfigCannotDeleteConflict Message: Migration config cannot be deleted because replication is in progress. Please complete or abort migration before attempting to delete the config.

mark [ ~ ]$ az servicebus migration show --namespace-name nxxx-xxx --resource-group Nxxxx-dev-servicebus-rg (MigrationConfigNotFound) Migration config does not exist for namespace 'nxxx-xxx'. Code: MigrationConfigNotFound Message: Migration config does not exist for namespace 'nxxx-xxx'.

@Mark Pith Thank you for providing an offline confirmation. Sharing the resolution on this forum to help broader community.

Thanks for your patience on this. Our internal team has reviewed the backend logs and they see a geo-recdovery pairing operation active on the service bus namespace. In order to delete the service bus, it is advised to abort the pairing on the namespace

You can use the following CLI cmdlet to break the pairing

Copy

az servicebus georecovery-alias break-pair [--alias] [--ids] [--namespace-name] [--resource-group] [--subscription]

Once the pairing is broken down, the service bus namespace can be deleted.
