Marking VHD as OS Disk

$

0

We're trying to upload a Linux VHD and mark it as an OS disk.  I've created a storage account under a new subscription as the resource type.  After which I uploaded the VHD using AzCopy as using "Add-AzureVhd" was giving an error that the storage account was not found.  Trying to run Add-AzureDisk is giving a similar error:

Add-AzureDisk : BadRequest: The storage account with the name grs as specified in the VHD URI
https://grs.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/disk-0.vhd does not exists in the current subscription.

This worked a week ago.  Has anything changed in the way to upload and  mark VHDs as an OS disk?

The VM's status still 'starting' since yesterday. The dashboard says the update is in progress, and still in progress, and by that, the website is not working, it says

"

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"

The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

We are investigating outages on all our VM's that are hosted on Azure Australia East, where they had an unclean reboot (Event ID 41) 

"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." 

Few at 4/2/2016 9:28:12 PM and other at 3/04/2016 2:47:24 AM 

We did receive email notifying us that there was going to be Maintenance affecting single instance on 

23:00 Friday, Mar 25–11:00 Saturday, Mar 26 (UTC+11)  to 12:00 Friday, Mar 25–00:00 Saturday, Mar 26 

we had Staff on standby during this period and there were no reboots on our servers. 

we received another notification on the 30th of march stating that the maintenance was complete. 

Are you able to verify the outages we have encountered on the 2nd and the 3rd of April?

Thanks, 

Shanib

How to update VM Scale Sets customData without down time

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a virtualMachineScaleSet defined to launch Ubuntu machines with network interfaces that become members of a Load Balancer's backend pool.

I use the osProfile.customData to seed some minimal configuration to the Ubuntu machines which is then consumed by cloud-init when the machine is provisioned.

I later need to update the customData so that new machines provisioned during a scaling event will be configured slightly differently. However, deploying an updated ARM template fails with the message:

PropertyChangeNotAllowed: Changing property 'customData' is not allowed.

In AWS (with which I am more familiar) this is allowed and simply creates a new LaunchConfiguration which is used for new machines. Obviously existing machines are unaffected.

Given that Azure's Scale Sets won't let me update this property on an existing Scale Set, I decided to try defining a new Scale Set with the new customData value. Unfortunately this fails with the message:

  VMScaleSetAllocationError: Virtual Machine .../providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/foo_1 is using different Availability Set than other Virtual Machines connected to the Load Balancer(s) fooLB.

So, given that Scale Sets imply their own Availability Set, it seems my next options are either:

  1. Remove the existing machines from the load balancer first, or ...
  2. Replace the load balancer too.

Either of these will lead to a short down-time.

Is there another option that I have missed that will avoid down-time? Is this a limitation of Scale Sets being in Preview that will be addressed later?

Copy file to Linux VM using "Azure File Copy"

Good afternoon,

I am writing a Release Definition to copy a jar file to a Linux VM hosted in Azure.

The process seems to be doing the work, but at the end I get the following exception:

System.ArgumentException: Unable to resolve path /home/user Invalid URI ...

So my questions are:

1. Is copying to a Linux VM supported?

2. If so, what's the right way to specify the linux path in the Destination Folder?

Remote Desktop cant connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:

Please can someone assist me further?

I have checked the forums and googled answers for this issue but still cannot get this issue resolved.

We created a free trial account with mail id which is our Microsoft Account. But while creating new virtual machine it is asking for Azure Subscription like “Pay-As-You-Go” etc. It is not showing any trial subscription. So we are unable go further to create virtual machine. Please check the attached images for more information.

Azure VM remains in a "creating" state forever

I'm attempting to launch Azure VMs from the Java SDK, but the instances remain in a "creating" state indefinitely. The UI gives me no indication why. I am able to successfully create VMs through the UI.

One such operation id: 

 

e50b28f4-05a0-4742-83a5-43a125a92ce0

And the corresponding resource id:

/subscriptions/7f970533-2a49-45f8-8c2a-0e9ad5a37393/resourceGroups/jenkins/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/jenkins-test-instance-1459967075279

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Upgrading a SQL Server version on a Azure Virtual Machine IaaS

$

Hello,

Quick question as I can't find a straight answer anywhere.

If you have invested in using an SQL Server Enterprise Virtual Machine image, and you would like to upgrade to a newer version of SQL Server (eg. 2012 --> 2014, 2014 --> soon to be 2016), what is the correct process/workflow?

I can assume in the worst case a owner of a SQL Server VM will not have access to MSDN downloads and a image of the new SQL Server they are trying to install. What are they expected to do in this instance?

IF the SQL Server VM owner DOES have access to the new image via MSDN downloads, if they upgrade via this download will the VM costs still only be charged per the runtime of the VM (inclusive of SQL Server enterprise costs).

Any clarification on the above would be great.

Regards

Richard

How do you configure Visual Studio to use IIS for Azure Cloud Services?

$

I have a Cloud Web Service that works fine with HTTP and HTTPS. Now I want to add net.tcp to the protocols. The first thing I discover is that IIS Express doesn't support this (please verify).  The second thing I discover is that there doesn't seem to be any way to hook up IIS. If you take a fresh Azure Cloud Service project from the template, change IIS Express to IIS and run it, you get a 404 error. The 'help' for IIS just directs me to a generic page of IIS config file settings: no mention of how to configure it to run/debug the project in the solution.

Any tutorials/white papers/threads that discuss the issue of getting a net.tcp protocol working in an Azure Cloud Service?


Unable to RDP to Windows 10 using Microsoft Account

Hi

I have just created a new Azure VM using the Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview image and I am able to connect using RDP using the local account created when setting up the VM.

I have added my Microsoft account but it does not let me connect over RDP using this account even though it has Admin rights and also added to RDP access (even though this should not be required).

When I try to connect I keep getting an error saying the logon attempt failed. The login details are correct and work on other machines.

I have seen that other people have had this issue but not seen a resolution.

Thanks

From @icms_yong  via Twitter

Hi, Want to upgrade VM from A5 to D11.

Get error - Role size: Standard D11 is not supported in a provisioned storage account.

I already create premium storage. Copy OS and data disk to this premium storage.

Is D11 model only OS and temporary storage is SSD? Other disk add on is not SSD?

Shutdown my old vm then create new D11 vm using A5 vhd. My D11 vm OS and Data disk is SSD? Using same storage. The end result is 3 hdd for new vm is 3 SSD disk. Original A5 vm with 3 hdd. Any suggestion?

Installing SSL on Resource Manager Linux VM

Hi,

I have a chef server set up from the marketplace under a Linux VM created via the Resource Manager. I am not able to remote desktop to the machine so have to do everything through SSH which is fine.

I'm trying to add a SSL Certificate I've got from StartSSL.com but cannot find the httpd or apache2 folder to edit the config files. Can someone point me in the right direction so that I can edit the config for the web server running in my Linux VM instance so I can point the site to use the SSL Certificates I have?

Many thanks
