Now I'm experiencing shortage of disk space for VM Palz02NVGRE. We want to increase space on this particular VM.
Note:
No need to add extra 1TB and all it will be wastage of allocated resources.
This can result to not able to create new VMs or other resource sensitive functions.
Recommended is to increase by 50GB each time. For windows VM it can be expanded many times.
2 Level of increase for All VM types:
 Go to VIRTUAL MACHINES then to the VM I want to increase Disk Space. Here is Palz02NVGRE. Click on Palz02NVGRE.
 Then in Palz02NVGRE main page, go to DASHBOARD
 Now I'm going to SHUTDOWN the VM from the portal. Can even shutdown from inside the VM itself.
 Now I'll just press on YES to continue Shutdown.
 Once the VM have finished shutdown. Status will change to Stopped. Then Go to CONFIGURE
 In CONFIGURE page, we will choose the DISK we want to expand. Here I'm going to expand the primary disk to 10GB.
 Now I'll change 25GB to 35GB and press on the Tick
 Here is when the progress bar of the process initiated. It will auto hide. To view it click on the 3 green bar below.
 Here is when the Disk expansion is successful. Now we can go back to DASHBOARD.
 Here is where we start the VM again.
 Click on YES to continue
 This VM I'm going to console connect into the VM. Can Remote in if remote is already configured before using your public IP.
 Press on the Tick
 A RDP connection file will download. Download and open the file.
 Connect to the VM.
 Now I'm connected to the VM
 In windows, go to Disk Management. I right Click the start button and go to Disk Management
 In disk Management we can see the Unallocated Space.
 Right Click on Cdrive and Extend Volume
 Click on Next
 Click on Next
 Finally Finish
 Before it was like this
 After, Disk is expanded 10GB. Its all done.
