Azure managed disk: osDisk.managedDisk.id is not allowed

[vgaga84]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy vm using json template with managed disk. I create the OsDisk from platform image, and when I want to use its Id in the virtual machine, I receive error: "osDis.managedDisk.id" is not allowed. When I manually created the vm on the azure portal, and exported the json template, the same approach was in the exported json template.
Managed disk resource:

{
"apiVersion": "2016-04-30-preview",
"type": "Microsoft.Compute/disks",
"name": "[variables('osDiskName')]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",

"createOption": "FromImage",
"imageReference": {
"id": "[variables('osReference')]"
}
},
"accountType": "Premium_LRS",

}
}

}
}
]
},
"networkProfile": {

{

}
]
}
}

I tried deploying with api version 2016-04-30-preview and 2017-03-30 but none of them worked.

Can you please help me to solve this issue?

Thanks!

I was able to resolve the issue by removing ("id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks',variables('osDiskName'))]" ) in the script. However can anyone help me in understanding why adding the this line is not working in deploying VM using managed disk.

Replaced below line for OS disk

"managedDisk": {
"storageAccountType": "Premium_LRS",
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks',variables('osDiskName'))]"

with

"managedDisk": {
"storageAccountType": "Standard_LRS"

** Data disk not tested

Hi,

In this case it does not create me Premium disk for OS.
I figured out this working solution both for managed os (Premium_LRS) and data (Standard_LRS) disks:

},

},

},
"dependsOn": [
]
},

For me the only way to resolve this was to change the "createOption": from"attach" to
"Empty" for DataDisk, also I had to remove the ID.
As last thing I had to add "adminPassword": as this is removed when you export the template
Now I have a template with the Admin password in plain text ?!?!?
I think it would be better to get the option/field when deploying the template to insert the password. How it works now it is just mickey mouse thing.

In the time I spent fixing this stupid issues with the template I could have deployed 4 Resource Groups of the same type.
So what is the point of the template, if it does not work ?
It works for simple things, as soon as the template contains a bit more we get plenty of issues. :-(

• Am also facing the same issue,

• On the removal of id line from the osDisk, getting an error

"The property 'requireGuestProvisionSignal' is not valid because the 'Microsoft.Compute/Agentless' feature is not enabled for this subscription"

• Below is the template am using. Is there any other suggestion on this?

@dhananjayzambre I'm having the same problem as you. Did you fix it? If so I would appreciate your help.
