Describes two more useful configuration features for Windows Azure virtual machines

Windows http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13357.html ">azure virtual machine provides two configuration features I 211.html" > Feel good, one is to add disk for virtual machine, Another is the virtual machine capture function. The first allows users to upload or add hard disk space to the virtual machine at will, and the second feature allows users to create their own image library. Windows Azure also supports uploading and downloading virtual machine VHD files to enable virtual machines to migrate locally and in the cloud. Here are some of the first and second specific approaches:

1. Add disk for virtual machine: There are two ways to increase disk, the first is "Attach disk", this is to add the VHD has been done and uploaded to the virtual machine.

The specific approach I have in the previous article how to migrate a local SQL Server database to Windows Azure SQL Server (ii) I've already introduced it, I will not repeat it here. Another is "Attach Empty disk", this is for the virtual machine to add empty disks, and "Attach disk" approach is similar, also relatively simple.

In Windows Azure's admin portal, click on the virtual machine, find "Attach" under the screen, and click "Attach empty Disk"

Then configure the required disk space, below we choose 10GB.

When you are sure to start creating a new VHD, you will see a new data disk join the virtual machine at the end
