Azure OS and Data disk

Question

Hi,

When I created a VM in azure. After creation a VM I attached one unmanaged data disk into that VM.

After the process is finished. I typed "Disks" in azure search bar. I can not see any disk there. I think two disks should be appeared there.

But when I clicked on VM and goes to the "Disks" there I can see my both disks.

Please tell me why I can not see both disks in the disks resource. thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

But today I checked again, I can see managed and unmanaged both disks under Disk resource. this make me confuse.

Sometime it shows only managed disks and sometimes it shows both managed and unmanaged disks.

@HASSAN BIN NASIR DAR Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Unmanaged disk are visible under Azure Storage account (storage account--> Blobs--> Container-->there you will find the VHD files)
It's by design Disk under portal is only for Managed disk
Unmanaged disk are visible only inside VM

Hope this helps!
