How to verify storage account in Azure using Get-AzureStorageAccount

Question

I am creating a power shell script to automate the setup of a website environment in Azure. This network uses account storage. I want the script not to create an account store, if one exists.

I thought using Get-AzureStorageAccountthis might work, but it is not:

Write-Verbose "[Start] creating $Name storage account $Location location"

$storageAcct = Get-AzureStorageAccount –StorageAccountName $Name
if (!$storageAcct)
{   
    $storageAcct = New-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName $Name -Location $Location -Verbose
    if ($storageAcct)
    {
        Write-Verbose "[Finish] creating $Name storage account in $Location location"
    }
    else
    {
        throw "Failed to create a Windows Azure storage account. Failure in New-AzureStorage.ps1"
    }
}
else
{
    Write-Verbose "$Name storage account in $Location location already exists, skipping creation"
}

The problem is that I do not know how to handle the return Get-AzureStorageAccount.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I would suggest using the Test-AzureName cmdlet to determine if it exists. So, something like this.

if (!(Test-AzureName -Storage $Name))
{  
    Write-Host "Creating Storage Account $Name"
    New-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName $Name -Location $Location 
}

Test-AzureName , Cloud Services, WebSites ServiceBus. True, , False.

Answer 2

:

$Name = "myStorageAccount"
$Location = "myLocation"

Write-Host "[Start] creating $Name storage account $Location location"
try{
    Get-AzureStorageAccount –StorageAccountName $Name -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null
    Write-Host "$Name storage account in $Location location already exists, skipping creation"
    }
catch{
    Write-Host "[Finish] creating $Name storage account in $Location location"
    New-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName $Name -Location $Location -Verbose      
}
