We've not made any private link related changes with our Fabric workspaces and yet we're not able to start spark sessions for the last 8 or so hours due to an error as follows (when attempted in an interactive session):
Scheduled notebooks fail to execute a magic command with error like:
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?
Hi @v-karpurapud ,
The issues we all experience were due to a Fabric platform outage as detailed in the MS Service Status page:
My hope in raising a support case was that it would result in MS identifying an issue in their platform quicker. My support experience was that our issue was misidentified as a different N. Europe outage that was showing as already resolved on the service status page - so wasn't helpful.
🙂
Hi @kayl-669
Thank you for the update. Since many users are experiencing this issue, Microsoft is investigating and working to resolve it. We appreciate your patience as Microsoft addresses the problem.
Regards,
Microsoft Fabric Community Suport Team.
Hi @kayl-669
Could you please confirm if the issue has been resolved after raising a support case? If a solution has been found, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share your insights with the community. This would be helpful for other members who may encounter similar issues.
Thank You .
This situation should be resolved now. Someone from Microsoft called me up to say they had an outage but it's back now.
Thanks for the update, we are back up and running now.
Seems to be an intermittent issue now rather than a constant one
Same issue - UK South
Same issue with me. UK-South too
I get the same issue, yet "All services are running smoothly" on the Service Status
I'm having the same issue in UK-South as well, doesn't seem like Microsoft acknowledged it yet.
Same issue, UK South. Have raised a support ticket and will update with any fixes/suggestions I'm given. Good luck all!
Same issue here. UK South too. Never get past "Starting session" status when trying to start a Spark session in Notebook.
Same problem, UK South. Looks like scheduled notebooks run fine but when you try to start a session from the browser it doesn't work
Same Issue here, currently on a trial but in the process of setting up our own capacity....this doesn't bode well for the decision to go forward if this is a common issue.
I've raised a support ticket now. Our Fabric capacities are in UK South FYI
Yes, we are on UK South and experiencing same issue.
Facing same issue . Not able to start session in Notebook
