Hello Folks,
I'm running SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on an Extra Large instance of an IaaS Azure VM and need to scale up to an A6 or A7 VM because I need a lot more throughput. However, I get the following error message when I try to do this on the portal:
"Unable to upgrade the deployment. The requested VM size may not be available in the resources supporting the existing deployment. Please try again later, try with a smaller VM size or smaller number of role instances, or create a deployment under an empty hosted service with a new affinity group or no affinity group binding. The long running operation tracking ID was: 76bcc3c1afbc8df08d70a7b8b7206911"
I have no affinity groups, etc. Azure billing support tells me there are no quota increase problems. Creating a brand new VM and moving my existing DB to this would mean downtime for my app and I cannot afford this because this is a high volume consumer app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vikram
