Azure Uploading VHD Fail

Question

I have a bizspark account to azure and i am trying to upload my MS Server 2003 VHD to a Storage/blob in order to access it as a VM.

I used disk2vhd to make the vhd file which is 68Gb.

Then i created a storage with Geo-replication, and added a container.

After that through the azure powershell i did the following

Get the publishing settings : Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile

Import them on azure account: Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile C:\path

Upload the vhd:

Add-AzureVhd -Destination http://pythia.blob.core.windows.net/pythia/OldPythia -LocalFilePath C:\path\server2003.vhd`

MD5 is calculated correctly but the i got an error.

here are the results:

MD5 hash is being calculated for the file C:\server2003.vhd MD5 hash calculation is completed. Elapsed time for the operation: 00:22:59 Creating new page blob... Upload failed with exceptions: Elapsed time for upload: 00:10:15

These are all the steps i follow. What should i do?

Answer 1

I used the node.js tools:

1. Install node.js
2. Follow instructions here
3. azure vm disk upload

After this I was able to manually create a VM in the management console using the disk I uploaded.
