Manually Deploying an Azure VM After a Restore Fails

When a restore of an Azure VM fails during the deployment phase, the disks are retained. You can use the retained disks to manually deploy the VM in the Azure portal.

Procedure

If the job status is "Completed with Errors" and the VM status is "Partial success", the Failure reason column for the VM displays "Failed to deploy VM with reason".

You can manually deploy the VM in the Azure portal.
