I created a VM and made its internal IP static by executing the following PowerShell command.
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName [service name] -Name [virtual machine name] | Set-AzureStaticVNetIP -IPAddress [IP Address] | Update-AzureVM
Once i run the following command to test weather the ip is static, the reply is "IsAvailable=False"
Test-AzureStaticVNetIP -VNetName [VNet name] -IPAddress [IP Address]
So the ip was reserved for the VM.
But When i stopped[deallocated] the above created VM and created a new one in the same cloud service, the IP i allocated for previous VM is assigned to newly created VM. I tried to start the first VM but unable to start, it gives an error
How does it happen?? As I believe once the IP is reserved for particular VM, it shouldn't be assigned to other.
Pls reply if someone know the reason.
