    Hi @Roger Roger
    Thank You for posting in Q & A.

    You can't add an existing VM to an availability set after it's created.

    VMs must be created within the availability set to make sure they're correctly distributed across the hardware.

    A VM can only be added to an availability set when it is created. To change the availability set, you need to delete and then recreate the virtual machine.
