I have a Windows 2012 R2 virtual machine that I want to attach a data disk to. I created a 5GB fixed VHD I created locally on my laptop and then uploaded it to the same storage as the OS VHDs. If I then try to use the web interface to attach the disk, I do not see the option to "Attach Data Disk". If I try to add it via PowerShell using:
Get-AzureVM-ServiceName"MyService"-Name"SQLVM1"|Add-AzureDataDisk-ImportFrom-MediaLocation"http://portalvhds.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/MyDataDisk.vhd"-DiskLabel"DataDisk1"-LUN0|Update-AzureVM
I get the error:
Update-AzureVM : Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: accountName
At line:1 char:232
+ ... Bits" -LUN 0 | Update-AzureVM
When I look at the vhds container under the storage node...it shows the VHD I uploaded. When I look at Disks under the virtual machine node...I do not see
my data disk listed. Not sure where to go from here.
