Question
You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server and has the following configurations:
✑ Size: D2s_v4
✑ Operating system disk: 127-GiB standard SSD
✑ Data disk 128-GiB standard SSD
✑ Virtual machine generation: Gen 2
You plan to perform the following changes to VM1:
✑ Change the virtual machine size to D4s_v4.
✑ Detach the data disk.
✑ Add a new standard SSD.
Which changes require downtime for VM1?
- A. Detaching the data disk only and adding a new standard SSD.
- B. Detaching the data disk only.
- C. Changing the virtual machine size only. Correct
- D. Adding a new standard SSD only.
Explanation
Changing the virtual machine size requires downtime because resizing a VM will cause it to reboot. Detaching and adding data disks can be done without causing downtime.
