How to move VMSS from using Unmanaged to Managed disk

Question

Hi,

We wanted to know if there is any documentations around moving VMSS from using Storage Account disks to Managed Disk.
For an VM i understand we have a cmdlet which enables this migration - ConvertTo-AzVMManagedDisk and dont see an equivalent for VMSS.

Please help.

Thanks,
Pradebban Raja

Hi Pradebban,

convert the VHD disk you are using for your VMSS from unmanaged to managed by following http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=20441 and then use it to configure the VMSS

Answer 2

You just need to update the Scale Set to use the Managed disk rather than VHD as the source. You can do this with an ARM template or PowerShell.
