Invalid VHD path error when trying to create Azure Image

Question

I’m trying to create new image using Azure Portal. When I upload an image as any blob type to container in storage account and try to write a path to it I get the following error: “Invalid VHD blob path. Please make sure the path to the VHD is valid’ The path looks like this: “https://storageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/containerName/filename”

What am I doing wrong and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Please make sure you have a VHD path with .vhd format like this: https://storageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/containerName/myUploadedVHD.vhd Also, it's recommended to upload .vhd files to the page blob,
