What happens when you have a Windows VM in Azure and you need to resize the disk size? You can’t do this in the portal, you need to use Powershell.
The full script
Function Resize-VM-OS-Disk(
[String]$SubscriptionName,
[String]$ResourceGroupName,
[String]$VmName,
[Int32]$NewDiskSize
)
{
Connect-AzAccount
Select-AzSubscription –SubscriptionName $SubscriptionName
$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $vmName
Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $vmName
$disk= Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -DiskName $vm.StorageProfile.OsDisk.Name
$disk.DiskSizeGB = $NewDiskSize
Update-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Disk $disk -DiskName $disk.Name
Start-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $vmName
}
Example to call the above script:
Resize-VM-OS-Disk -VmName "VM_NAME" -SubscriptionName "SUBSCRIPTION_NAME" -ResourceGroupName "RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME" -NewDiskSize 64
