Unable to create Unity Catalog Metastore

mscbatra — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 22:12:32 GMT

Hi,

I deployed a Unity Catalog metastore some time back (screenshot below).

But when I am trying to create a new one, the create metastore option is disabled. Hovering on the button shows the message: "You must have an active subscription to create a Metastore".

I do have an active subscription. I am able to create and assign new workspaces to existing metastore, but unable to create a new one.

Can someone please help? Thanks.

Are you using Azure Databricks ?? have you recently migrated your classic Global Administration role to RBAC global admin in azure

we had the same issue we fix it by creating metastore from CLI

databricks metastores create {Name} --region {region}

The CLI works! Thank you so much.
