Description of problem:After Azure subscription is expired and it's in Readonly state it's impossible to update provider info: "The subscription '9ee63d8e-aee7-4121-861c-d67a5b8d231e' is disabled and therefore marked as read only. You cannot perform any write actions on this subscription until it is re-enabled." Do we assume Refresh provider's relationships and power states as Write operation? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.6.1.2 / 5.6.2.0 /5.7 How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up Azure with expired/disabled subscription 2. 3. Actual results:Provider won't be updated Expected results:Get provider objects info - Instances/states/etc Additional info:
Dan, I think the best the application can do is report a nice error message here. Can you work with Leo (from QE) to look into his environment?
Greg, at the moment the best we can do is a warning. Perhaps when they click the "validate" button. I'll talk to the UI folks about that. In theory we could disable certain portions of the UI if the subscription is in readonly mode, but that might be too provider specific. If other providers have a "readonly" mode, perhaps we could imitate them.
This is not a bug, unless you want a better error message. In fact, the subscription had been disabled due to expiration of credits. You can't get in if you don't pay regardless of the error message or how much you really want to get in. In my opinion, the error message was consistent with the error. And, when we reactivated the subscription and refreshed, it went back to success.
