I have a little problem with a production Classic VM. I reached the maximum capacity of the disk, and I need to expand it.
So I tried:
azure config mode arm
then
azure vm deallocate --resource-group XXX --name XXX
the result:
info: Executing command vm deallocate + Looking up the VM "XXX" error: Virtual machine "XXX" not found under the resource group "XXX" error: Error information has been recorded to /home/xyz/.azure/azure.err error: vm deallocate command failed
I don’t understand why there is no VM in the resource group, so I tried to list what is in the resource group^
azure resource list
and the result:
data: /subscriptions/xyz/resourceGroups/XXX/providers/Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualMachines/XXX XXX XXX Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualMachines westeurope null
So I have a VM, but Azure can’t see it.

If you want to deallocate a classic VM, we should use this command azure vm shutdown 'vnmane' in CLI 1.0 with ASM mode:
jason@Azure:~$ azure config mode asm info: Executing command config mode info: New mode is asm info: config mode command OK jason@Azure:~$ azure vm shutdown -h help: Shutdown the VM help: help: Usage: vm shutdown [options] <name> help: help: Options: help: -h, --help output usage information help: -v, --verbose use verbose output help: -vv more verbose with debug output help: --json use json output help: -d, --dns-name <name> only show VMs for this DNS name help: -p, --stay-provisioned if specified the compute resource will not be released on shutdown help: -s, --subscription <id> the subscription id help: help: Current Mode: asm (Azure Service Management) jason@Azure:~$ azure vm shutdown 'jasonv' info: Executing command vm shutdown + Getting virtual machines + Shutting down VM info: vm shutdown command OK jason@Azure:~$
Hope this helps:)
