Hello Chicojrman123,
The VM can be placed in availability set only at the time of creating the VM. So you have to delete the VM and recreate the VM. If you are looking for changing the availability set of a VM, you can refer this
document which explains deleting the original VM and then recreating it in a new availability set.
If you are looking to completely remove the VM from availability set, then you can create a new VM from the disks. Please refer this
document for instructions.
Also, you can use the below script to export the original VM’s configuration and re-create it base on the same configuration without Availability set (this is a modified version of the same
script that is referenced above). If there are any backup's scheduled to the VM, request to stop the backup while doing this.
Request you to test this on a test VM before performing on the actual VM.
## Only need to replace the highlighted part
# Set variables
$resourceGroup = "myrg"
$vmName = "myvm"
# Get the details of the VM to be moved to the Availability Set
$originalVM = Get-AzureRmVM `
-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup `
-Name $vmName
# Remove the original VM
Remove-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $vmName
# Remove Availability set information
$originalVM.AvailabilitySetReference = $null
# Create the basic configuration for the replacement VM
$newVM = New-AzureRmVMConfig `
-VMName $originalVM.Name `
-VMSize $originalVM.HardwareProfile.VmSize `
Set-AzureRmVMOSDisk `
-VM $newVM -CreateOption Attach `
-ManagedDiskId $originalVM.StorageProfile.OsDisk.ManagedDisk.Id `
-Name $originalVM.StorageProfile.OsDisk.Name `
-Windows
# Add Data Disks
foreach ($disk in $originalVM.StorageProfile.DataDisks) {
Add-AzureRmVMDataDisk -VM $newVM `
-Name $disk.Name `
-ManagedDiskId $disk.ManagedDisk.Id `
-Caching $disk.Caching `
-Lun $disk.Lun `
-DiskSizeInGB $disk.DiskSizeGB `
-CreateOption Attach
}
# Add NIC(s) and keep the same NIC as primary
foreach ($nic in $originalVM.NetworkProfile.NetworkInterfaces) {
if ($nic.Primary -eq "True")
{
Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface `
-VM $newVM `
-Id $nic.Id -Primary
}
else
{
Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface `
-VM $newVM `
-Id $nic.Id
}
}
# Recreate the VM
New-AzureRmVM `
-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup `
-Location $originalVM.Location `
-VM $newVM `
-DisableBginfoExtension
Thanks.
