Description

Error Message

Value of the PrivateIP attribute #.#.#.# is already in use by other Azure IP configuration

Cause

The Azure IP address that is assigned in the configuration is in use elsewhere

Resolution

There are 2 possible solutions to this:

  • If the IP address is in use on another cluster somewhere
    • Assign an unused IP address to the resource

 

  • If the IP address is unused by another cluster, check to see if the IP address is still assigned to the Azure interface
    • By default, Azure will assign the IP address to the interface when provisioning the IP. Remove the IP assignment from the NIC and attempt to start the AzureIP resource again.
