Instead of opening a support request, customers in most regions can start a conversion and monitor its progress. This option eliminates potential delays related to creating and managing support requests. For help determining the regions in which customer-initiated conversion is supported, refer to the [region limitations](#region) article.

Customer-initiated conversion can be undertaken in supported regions using the [Azure portal](redundancy-migration.md?tabs=portal#customer-initiated-conversion), [PowerShell](redundancy-migration.md?tabs=powershell#customer-initiated-conversion), or the [Azure CLI](redundancy-migration.md?tabs=azure-cli#customer-initiated-conversion). A conversion typically begins within 72 hours after initiation, but can take longer due to resource availability, data volume, and other factors.

For more information, see [Hot, Cool, and Archive access tiers for blob data](../blobs/access-tiers-overview.md). To convert an LRS, GRS or RA-GRS account to one that supports zone-redundancy, first move the archived blobs to a storage account that supports blobs in the archive tier.

After a zone-redundancy conversion, you must wait at least 72 hours before changing the redundancy setting of the storage account again. The temporary hold allows background processes to complete before making another change, ensuring the consistency and integrity of the account. For example, going from LRS to GZRS is a 2-step process. You must add zone redundancy in one operation, then add geo-redundancy in a second. After going from LRS to ZRS, you must wait at least 72 hours before going from ZRS to GZRS.
