We had an issue with Azure Hosted VM which was a Linux Disk.
We have downloaded the VHD and fixed the issue with kernel.
I have uploaded it back however when I go to swap disk I am unable to find my disk which sits in a container however the Azure Swap disk option is trying to find it within the Resourcegroup which was orignally setup.

how do I fix this please.

thanks

    Hi @kash ,

    the easiest way might be to create a new VM based on the uploaded disk in the Azure Portal.

    • Navigate to Disks in the Azure Portal
    • Select the uploaded disk
    • Click on Create VM

    @Andreas Baumgarten thanks for that.

    I take it, this process clones content of the disk into newly created one ?

    Many thanks
