I am encountering the following error when trying to use a PowerShell runbook to turn on IaaS diagnostics for an ARM virtual machine:

Set-AzureRmVMDiagnosticsExtension : Long running operation failed with status 'Failed'. StartTime: 3/7/2016 6:23:28 PM EndTime: 3/7/2016 6:24:36 PM OperationID: 15126cd6-f553-4853-a583-cad38d16d659 Status: Failed ErrorCode: VMExtensionHandlerNonTransientError ErrorMessage: Handler 'Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics' has reported failure for VM Extension 'Microsoft.Insights.VMDiagnosticsSettings' with terminal error code '1009' and error message: 'Enable failed for plugin (name: Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics, version 1.5.9.0) with exception Command C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics\1.5.9.0\DiagnosticsPluginLauncher.exe of Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics has exited with Exit code: -106'

Some context:

What is happening is that we will get this error, but in the portal, the VM's diagnostics are turned on but no metrics will be collected. In the extensions pane, the IaaS Diagnostics extension is "Unavailable", with an error that the handler status is "Not Ready".The VM is domain-joined and has the BGInfo extension installed. We are pulling an XML file into Azure Automation as an asset and creating an XML object from that asset to be used as the diagnostics config XML. So far, we haven't run into any errors with the configuration path or the XML contents.

I have set up an SQL Server VM using Resource Manager config.  But my work has port 3389 closed but 61359 open.  So I set up an incoming rule on 61359 - still can't  RDP
So then after some searching I saw that i could set up a load balancer to do some port forwarding
But then to set up a load balancer I need to set up an availability set
But I can't move my existing VM into an availability set without dropping and recreating!
Also having things change so fast any information on the net is  usually already out of date - and the messages on the new portal when something goes wrong are usually pretty vague so most of the time I feel like it's a case of 'you're on your own,

Hi,

So I have a VM with three Premium Storage data disks attached. In the portal, this is the view ofall three of the disks:

As we can see, the size of the data disk isn't explicitly given. However, the disk billing size is set at 128 GB.This would seem to suggest that the size of the disk is at most 128 GB.

However, if I go to Computer Management from inside the VM, I see that the three data disks have 700 GB, 300 GB, and 50 GB:

Weird, right? If I get the VM object through PowerShell, and see its Storage Profile, the three associated disks don't seem to have an associated size:

What is going on?

EDIT: Possibly relevant information: these disks were created from an existing VHD blob.

Hi Support,

I have created one virtual machine under a cloud service but without a Vnet.

Now i wanted to assign a static IP address to it without deleting my existing virtual machine.

I tried to do that but i am getting following message.

"This virtual machine can't be configured with a static private IP address because it's not deployed in a virtual Network."

what to do now?

Hi Team,

We are unable to rdp the vm in azure on which Ubuntu is installed. We have restarted the machine and stil unable to RDP. we were able to access the v through ssh, rdp, vnc last week.We suspect that the OS disk 30 GB is full.

Is there a way we can check from azure powershell what is the space used on the default OS drive.

From @MartinKearn via Twitter:

when my web app service autoscales, why does it report in fractions i.e. 2.25? I thought an instance was a VM?  Is it about how close it is to the next scale tier? i.e. 1.75 means another 0.25 and it will scale to 2

Thanks!

I have downloaded and installed onto three different systems, all with the same results.  Two servers are Win Server 2012 R2, also same error on Win 8.1 Enterprise. WAVMRA.exe, Product Version 2.0.40528.1, dated 5/28/2014. I have verified PowerShell 4.0 and .net 4.5 installed.

Upon installation, I get the following error:  "A required update of the MAVMRA is available..."  Yet, upon clicking the HERE button, it takes me to the same site from which I downloaded originally.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I am trying to set up a SharePoint 2013 HA in azure. It works fine until I get to the Azure AD setup page where it does not load. Instead, I only get an image saying "GeneratedWizardPagePart". I get some errors in the developer console so it seems to be an issue on the server side. I've tried in IE11, Chrome and Firefox.

An image of the "error" can be found on imgur with suffix DzEiKaM.png

Am I doing something wrong or is this something that is being worked on?

Hi - 

I am sorry if this is a newbie question - but I have tried to search for an answer to this before posting this question to no avail.  Here is my quandry:

I created a Windows 2012 R2 Data Center VM and also created a Virtual Network, Security Group, Public Static IP and Storage Account in the new Azure portal.  I am able to RDP to the VM and have that working successfully.  I also have setup an inbound policy on the Azure Security Group that is connected to this VM, allowing port 80 TCP inbound.

I have also read some older articles that show and talk about setting up endpoints in the classic Azure UI - but when I go to the old UI none of my resources appear, so following those directions don't help.

Ultimately I want to simply allow my team members to access the VM using the public IP address - but for some reason I am stuck and cannot figure out how to make that happen.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated - especially if I have done something wrong.  

Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,

I have 2 Azure VMs in one Vnet and resource manager group.

1. First VM - SQL Client & Tools are installed 

2. Second VM - SQL 2012 evalution Database server copied and installed (I haveNOT used Azure SQL VM)

3. I have not used NSG for any VM or Vnet 

When i am trying to connect from first VM through SQL Management Studio, its displaying a error.

When I set a Static IP for my VM in Azure, then go and look on the server, it shows the correct IP but via DHCP. Is this correct?

I'm guessing a "static" IP is just a DHCP range controlled by Azure for only one IP set to the mac address  of the NIC on the VM?

Thanks

Hello,

I can't connect to a Windows 2008r2 VM. it's running and last time I have used it was 6 month ago and the connection works fine. I'm recreate RDP end point on the same VM with another port but it doesn't work.

If tried to create a new VM from a VHD backup image but , I can't connect

If I create a new VM (for example) a Windows Server 2012 on the same RDP port of not working VM, I can connect well.

How can try to restore RDP functionality? Any idea?

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi There, 

I created a VM in resource manager mode and set up IIS in it. I then configured a basic web site on the machine and it is now accessible from all the other VMs within the subscription. However it is not available from outside world. How could I do that ?

The site is accessible from all the VMs within the Azure subscription

I assigned a public IP to the VM and I am able to remote to it from my home

I also assigned a DNS name to the public IP so that I can now remote to it using the name (something like mymachine.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com)

I then added an inbound rule to the Network Security Group to allow requests to port 80 from anywhere

Did I missing something ? I configured another machine with the same settings and again the same issue :( Please could anyone help ?
