deployment failure while adding VM instance to backend pools

Question

Hi

I am completly new to Azure Cloud enviroment below are the things I am doing for testing the basic load balancer.

1. Created two VM in Virtual network ( VNET1) and installed IIS for testing in the advanced tab while creating VM wizard in the portal.
2. Created a LB Standard SKU azure Load balancer and created a Public address for it.
3. While adding the virtual machine in the backend pool it is giving me deployment failure. (

As troubleshooting steps

I dissassociated the public address of the vm hopping it will fix the issue but Its error out the same , is there way in azure to read the error log which more meaningful right know i can only see deployment failure in the notification which is not superful helpful in troubleshooting.
i know this post is kind of vague could you let me know if there is any pre-requsite that i missed while creating vm and adding it into backend pool ?

Answer 1

Hi,

Providing the error message or screenshot would certainly help.

Please check the following:

1. You will not be able to add a VM to the backend pool of a Standard Load Balancer, if the VM has a Basic SKU public IP
2. You will not be able to add a VM to the backend pool of a Standard Load Balancer, if the VM belongs to an availability set and any VM in the availability set has a Basic SKU public IP
