VirtualMachineDiskOperationsExtensions.BeginCreatingDataDisk Method (IVirtualMachineDiskOperations, String, String, String, VirtualMachineDataDiskCreateParameters)

  • Article

 

The Create Data Disk operation adds a data disk to a virtual machine. There are three ways to create the data disk using the Add Data Disk operation. Option 1 - Attach an empty data disk to the role by specifying the disk label and location of the disk image. Do not include the DiskName and SourceMediaLink elements in the request body. Include the MediaLink element and reference a blob that is in the same geographical region as the role. You can also omit the MediaLink element. In this usage, Azure will create the data disk in the storage account configured as default for the role. Option 2 - Attach an existing data disk that is in the image repository. Do not include the DiskName and SourceMediaLink elements in the request body. Specify the data disk to use by including the DiskName element. Note: If included the in the response body, the MediaLink and LogicalDiskSizeInGB elements are ignored. Option 3 - Specify the location of a blob in your storage account that contain a disk image to use. Include the SourceMediaLink element. Note: If the MediaLink element isincluded, it is ignored.
