Azure Elastic SAN Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Elastic SAN. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: This file may be large. Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections, then use read_file with specific line ranges (e.g., L136-L144) to read the sections needed for the user's question This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content. Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch to retrieve full articles.

Fallback: Use the built-in WebFetch tool if the Microsoft Learn MCP server is not available.

Category	Lines	Description
Troubleshooting	L36-L40	Diagnosing and resolving common Azure Elastic SAN issues, including provisioning failures, connectivity/IO errors, performance problems, and typical error codes/logs.
Best Practices	L41-L46	Guidance on tuning Elastic SAN performance (throughput, latency, volume layout) and using snapshots for backup, restore, and disaster recovery workflows.
Decision Making	L47-L52	Guidance on sizing and configuring Elastic SAN (performance, capacity, architecture) and deciding how to integrate it with AKS workloads and storage patterns.
Architecture & Design Patterns	L53-L57	Patterns for running clustered apps (SQL, Failover Cluster, etc.) on Azure Elastic SAN, including shared volume setup, fencing, failover behavior, and high-availability design.
Limits & Quotas	L58-L63	Performance and scale limits for Elastic SAN: max volumes, capacity, IOPS/throughput per volume/volume group/SAN, and how VM size and workload affect achievable performance.
Security	L64-L73	Encrypting Elastic SAN with customer-managed keys and securing access via private endpoints, service endpoints, and other network security configurations for volumes.
Configuration	L74-L80	Managing Elastic SAN lifecycle: safely deleting and resizing SANs/volumes, and using monitoring metrics to track performance, capacity, and health.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L81-L87	How to script volume creation and connect Elastic SAN volumes to Linux, Windows, and AKS via iSCSI CSI, including client configuration and integration patterns.
