Cannot restart virtual machine from Azure Portal

Question

Wednesday, November 14, 2018 11:45 AM

I have two Linux virtual marchines in the same availability group and same subnet.

One of them is working as expected. But I have a problem with the other machine:

  1. I start it in Azure Portal. In Notifications list, it looks "Starting virtual machine" forever.
  2. If I reload the page (F5), it looks Running. But "Restart" button is disabled. In "Diagnose and solve problems", there is a new problem: "Your virtual machine is unavailable". But I have checked that the state of this Machine is "Available".
  3. I can acces to the machine through WinSCP and Putty. I can reboot the machine through Putty, but after that, still the same problem: cannot restart machine from Azure Portal.

What is the problem?

Could be hardware related.

Try the redeploy option in the VM blade, takes slightly longer than a restart.
