Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for a company that runs a critical application on an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) named VM1. The application requires additional storage space to store log files. You need to add a data disk to VM1 without causing any downtime. What should you do?
Stop VM1, attach a new data disk, and then start VM1.
Deallocate VM1, add a data disk using Azure PowerShell, and then allocate VM1.
Attach an empty managed data disk to VM1 from the Azure portal.
To add a data disk to VM1 without causing downtime, you can attach an empty managed data disk to the VM using the Azure portal. This operation can be performed while the VM is running and does not require stopping or deallocating the VM. Stopping or deallocating the VM (as in options B and C) would cause downtime, which is not acceptable in this scenario. Redeploying VM1 with a larger OS disk size (option D) does not add a separate data disk and could result in downtime and potential data loss.
