    <p>Added more details at the bottom of the question. </p> <p>We are testing deployment scenarios in Azure VM preview and have run into an issue. </p> <p>Here is our scenario. We have a software stack that we use in all of our servers. We have created an image with all of that stack installed on an attached data drive. We have created a image of the VM that we can use as a template. Now what we want to do is to to create a VM based on that template and create a copy of the data drive and attach it to the newly created VM in an automated manner. </p> <p>Our problem is that while we have found lots of information about creating drives, we can't find any guidance on how to copy the data drive using Azure for Powershell.</p> <p>Any thoughts, code, or RTFMs happily accepted.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Terence</p> <p>We have sucessfully created an operating system image that we can use to create VM's. But there is a data disk that holds our standard software stack that we want to reuse by copying it across VMs. The scenario that we are trying to implement is: </p> <ol> <li><p>Create a VM from a standard VM image - PBIMaster </p></li> <li><p>Attach a disk as F to that image called PBIMasterDisk </p></li> <li><p>Install all of the software required for our app on F: (to big for the OS disk and besides sticking it on the OS disk seems messy) </p></li> <li><p>Build an image from PBIMaster call it PBIMasterImage save it. </p></li> <li><p>Create a new image from PBIMaster call it Node1 </p></li> <li><p>Copy PBIMasterDisk to a new Azure disk call it Node1Software disk</p></li> <li><p>Attach Node1Softwaredisk to Node1 as F:</p></li> </ol> <p>Since the image has the correct registry settings from the previous installs our stack is ready to go. </p> <p>9 Add appropriate endpoints. </p> <p>Rinse and repeat for each additional node. </p> <p>Hopefully that makes our scenario clearer. </p> <p>Thanks. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
