Operation Fails Due to Conflicting Vault State

Use troubleshooting information to resolve operation failures because of conflicting Vault state.

There are several reasons why an operation might result in the following error, "The state of the vault that contains this resource conflicts with the requested operation."

The vault lifecycle state shows that the vault is in a state that prevents the requested operation from proceeding or succeeding. This includes interstitial lifecycle states (for example, "Creating") or terminal states (for example, "Deleted"). Most operations are blocked when a vault is pending deletion.

The service might not recognize the same vault state as seen by a client application. This can happen, for example, if you recently changed the vault lifecycle state. The Vault service is eventually consistent regarding resource state. So, if this is the issue, you can try again later.
