Bad Request.,Source=Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage,StorageExtendedMessage=Block blobs are not supported

Question

I am trying to create an azure data factory by following this article Create, monitor, and manage Azure data factories using Data Factory .NET SDK

Now I am getting following error:

Copy activity encountered a user error at Sink side: ErrorCode=UserErrorBlobUploadFailed,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=,Source=,''Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=Error occurred when trying to upload blob 'https://teststorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/adftutorial/apifactoryoutput/20140809-00/Data.27643436-2075-4d2f-9ae4-4b8626cc1b69.txt', detailed message: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.,Source=,''Type=Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException,Message=The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.,Source=Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage,StorageExtendedMessage=Block blobs are not supported.

Can someone point me where I am making mistake?

Note: The blob type is "PageBlob" defined in my azure storage.

Answer 1

Given that your account is Premium LRS, the behavior is correct as such kind of storage accounts only support Page Blobs.

If your intention is to use a storage account with Block Blobs, you must create a new storage account where the redundancy type is not Premium LRS.
