To use the Azure NetApp Files service, you need to register the NetApp Resource Provider.
2+
3+
You can do that using the Azure Cloud Shell from the Azure portal.
4+
5+
In the Azure Cloud Shell console, you can enter the following command to register the Azure Resource Provider.
6+
7+
`az provider register --namespace Microsoft.NetApp --wait`
8+
9+
Once the Azure Resource Provider is registered with your subscription, you can verify it from the Azure portal.
10+
11+
From the Azure portal, click the Subscriptions blade, click your subscription ID. In the settings of the subscription, click Resource providers to verify that Microsoft.NetApp Provider indicates the Registered status:
12+
13+
![Screenshot of Azure portal interface. A row from an Azure portal interface is shown displaying a Resource Provider registration entry: Provider name: Microsoft.NetApp Status: Registered Actions available: Two clickable links — Re-register and Unregister. This is typically seen in the Azure subscription's Resource providers settings blade, where users can manage which Azure services (resource providers) are registered for use within their subscription.](../media/managing-azure-netapp-files-register-setup/resource-provider-status.png)

Creating a NetApp account enables you to set up a capacity pool so that you can create a volume. You use the Azure NetApp Files pane to create a new NetApp account.
2+
3+
- A NetApp account serves as an administrative grouping of the constituent capacity pools.
4+
- A NetApp account isn't the same as your general Azure storage account.
5+
- A NetApp account is regional in scope.
6+
- You can have multiple NetApp accounts in a region, but each NetApp account is tied to only a single region.
7+
8+
You need to first sign in to the Azure portal and access the Azure NetApp Files pane by using one of the following methods:
9+
10+
- Search for Azure NetApp Files in the Azure portal search box.
11+
- Select All services in the navigation, and then filter to Azure NetApp Files.
12+
13+
From the Azure NetApp Files pane, you can select **+ Add** to create a new NetApp account. In the New NetApp account window, provide the following information for your NetApp account:
14+
15+
- **Account name**: Specify a unique name for the subscription.
16+
- **Subscription**: Select a subscription from your existing subscriptions.
17+
- **Resource group**: Use an existing resource group or create a new one.
18+
- **Location**: Select the region where you want the account and its child resources to be located.
19+
20+

Azure NetApp Files volumes are designed to be contained in a special purpose subnet called a delegated subnet within your Azure Virtual Network. You must delegate a subnet to Azure NetApp Files for secured access control by restricting network traffic to the assigned subnet. You can access the volumes directly from within Azure over VNet peering or from on-premises over a Virtual Network Gateway. When you create a volume, you need to specify the delegated subnet.
2+
3+
### Considerations
4+
5+
- When creating the delegated subnet for Azure NetApp Files, the size of the subnet matters. A subnet with a /28 network mask provides only 11 usable IP addresses, which might be insufficient for certain use cases. In that case, you should plan for a larger delegated subnet.
6+
- In each VNet, only one subnet can be delegated to Azure NetApp Files. A NetApp account can deploy volumes into multiple VNets, each having its own delegated subnet.
7+
- When using Basic network features, you can't designate a network security group (NSG) or service endpoint in the delegated subnet. Doing so causes the subnet delegation to fail.
8+
9+
You can add a subnet to a virtual network that you want to use for Azure NetApp Files. To create a new subnet, you need to complete the following required fields in the Add Subnet page:
10+
11+
- **Name**: Specify the subnet name.
12+
- **Address range**: Specify the IP address range.
13+
- **Subnet delegation**: Select Microsoft.NetApp/volumes.
14+
15+

18+
>You can also create and delegate a subnet when you create a volume for Azure NetApp Files.
