AzureVM

How can i move vm to other subscription.

, , ,

Hi. Sometimes we use POC subscription not PROD subscription.
Then if you done POC, you move to resources include VM, LB, etc…
Maybe VM move to another subscription not share tenant too difficult.

So i try it this post.
Total process is following:
1. disk to snapshot
2. snapshot to VHD in blob
3. blob to blob(target Subscription)
4. make disk by VHD in blob
5. create vm using disk

Start Demo

1. disk to snapshot

I have just one VM having two disk include osdisk.

Before start demo, we have to create storage account to store vhd.

After created storage, we also create container. i named vmdisk

And we convert disks to snapshots.
If you have many VM, use the command foloowing.

# create snapshot 

$resourceGroupName = 'bastion-rg'
$resourceGroup = Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName
$location = $resourceGroup.Location
  
$nameList = @( 
   @{ name='az204-bastion-vm'; }
)
 
# create osDisk snapshot
foreach($list in $nameList) { 
	$vmName = $list.name
	
	# get vm information 
	$vm = get-azvm -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName

	# set snapshot configuration
	$snapshot =  New-AzSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $vm.StorageProfile.OsDisk.ManagedDisk.Id  -Location $location -AccountType Premium_LRS  -CreateOption copy

	# create Snapshot 
	$snapshotName = 'osdisk-' + $vmName + '-001-snapshot'
	New-AzSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -AsJob
}  

# create dataDisk snapshot
foreach($list in $nameList) { 
	$vmName = $list.name
	
	# get vm information 
	$vm = get-azvm -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName
	
	# get Disk information
	$dataDiskList = $vm.StorageProfile.DataDisks
	foreach($dList in $dataDiskList) { 
		$diskName = $dList.name
		
		# if disk is null then continue;
		if(!$diskName) { 
			continue;
		}
		$disk = get-azureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $diskName  
		
		# set snapshot configuration
		$snapshot =  New-AzSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $disk.id -Location $location -AccountType Premium_LRS -CreateOption copy

		$snapshotName = 'datadisk-' + $vmName + '-001-snapshot'

		# create Snapshot 
		New-AzSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -AsJob
	}
}  

Get-Job | Wait-Job
"All jobs completed"
get-azSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName | format-table Name, ResourceGroupName
2. snapshot to VHD in blob.

After created snapshots, we should move snapshot to blob container.
Use following command.

$storageAccountName = ''
$storageContainerName = ''
$sasExpiryDuration=3600
$storageAccountKey = " 

$snpashots =  Get-AzSnapshot -resourceGroup ''

foreach($snapshot in $snpashots) { 
	$snapshotName = $snapshot.Name
	$destinationVHDFileName = $snapshotName + '.vhd'
	$resourceGroupName = $snapshot.ResourceGroupName
	$sas=$(az snapshot grant-access --resource-group $resourceGroupName --name $snapshotName --duration-in-seconds $sasExpiryDuration --query [accessSas] -o tsv)

	az storage blob copy start --destination-blob $destinationVHDFileName --destination-container $storageContainerName --account-name $storageAccountName --account-key $storageAccountKey --source-uri $sas 
}

Then we check it’s working well in container.

3. blob to blob(target Subscription)

Need two value for this job.
One is container path, the other one is SAS token.
In the container List, click the right three dot. then click container properties.

Then you check URL. memorize it for next CLI.

Then in the left side bar in storage account, Click the ‘Shared Access Signature’.
Click the container, and the click generate SAS ... button.

then memorized SAS token

And, you have target Subscription. create storage account and container.
I also create stoarge account named yy1111targetmigrate
And container name is vmdisktarget
And also get container path, SAS token.

3. blob to blob(target Subscription)

use following command.

1

$srcPath = "https://yy1111migratestorage.blob.core.windows.net/vmdisk"
$srcSAS = ""
$destPath ="https://yy1111targetmigrate.blob.core.windows.net/vmdisktarget"
$destSAS = ""

azcopy cp $srcPath$srcSAS $destPath$destSAS --recursive

It’s spend a few minutes. it depends on disk size.

A few minutes later, process is done like under screen.

And you check target container, vhd is visible.
you click refresh button if modified time is changed continuous.
then you wait more.

4. make disk by VHD in blob

$resourceGroupName = 'target-rg'
$resourceGroup = Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName
$location = $resourceGroup.Location
$StorageAccountName = 'yy1111targetmigrate'
$containerName = 'vmdisktarget'
$storageAccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $StorageAccountName

$list = az storage blob list -c $containerName --account-name $StorageAccountName | ConvertFrom-Json

$sourceUri_prefix = 'https://' + $storageAccountName + '.blob.core.windows.net/' + $containerName + '/'

Foreach($list in $List) { 
	$sourceUri = $sourceUri_prefix + $list.name
	$osDiskName = $list.name.split('.')[0]
	write-host $sourceUri
	
	New-AzDisk -DiskName $osDiskName -Disk `
		(New-AzDiskConfig -AccountType Premium_LRS -Location $location -CreateOption Import -SourceUri $sourceUri -StorageAccountId $storageAccount.Id) `
		-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -AsJob
	
}

Get-Job | Wait-Job
"All jobs completed"
get-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName | format-table Name, ResourceGroupName

And then check Disks in the portal.

5. create vm using disk

Execute following command. but, you should modify variable appropriately
