Resizing Disk on Azure Virtual Machine with Storage Pool

1
votes

I own a virtual machine (classic) on Azure that uses 4 data disks, each making 50 GB. These disks are grouped together in a storage pool.

Is it possible to increase the size (up to 100 GB for example) of disks despite the storage pool ?

I have already made a large increase on a single disk successfully (with powershell) but never on a storage pool.

I want to be sure that there is no danger to the data currently on the disks.

Thanks for your help.

Based on my knowledge, it is not possible to increase physical disk to expand storage pool.

As a workaround, maybe you can resize your Azure VM to a high size, then extend the pool by adding more physical disks.

You can use PowerShell to add physical disk Add-PhysicalDisk.

$toadd = Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "Msft Virtual Disk"
Add-PhysicalDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName poolname -PhysicalDisks $toadd
