AzCosmosDBSqlContainer : "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." - azure

I am using AzCosmosDBSqlContainer to check details of a CosmosDB (SQL api) container in PowerShell; I am getting this error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
However Get-AzCosmosDBAccount and Get-AzCosmosDBSqlDatabase commands are working fine.
Can someone help me with this?
Command used:
$ResourceGroup="MyResourceGroup"
$CDBAccountName="mycosmosaccount"
$dbname="myDatabase"
$containername="MyContainer"
$cosmosaccount=Get-AzCosmosDBAccount -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Name $CDBAccountName
$cosmosdbname=Get-AzCosmosDBSqlDatabase -AccountName $cosmosaccount.Name -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Name $dbname
Get-AzCosmosDBSqlContainer -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -AccountName $cosmosaccount.Name -DatabaseName $cosmosdbname.Name -Name $containername

I found a workaround after getting an update from Microsoft team.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/11381
This issue is going to be fixed in upcoming version of Az.CosmosDB 0.1.4
Workaround:
Replace "my***Name" with your own values
$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroupName"
$accountName = "myAccountName"
$databaseName = "mYDatabaseName"
$containerName = "myContainerName"
$apiVersion = "2020-03-01"
$databaseResourceName = $accountName + "/" + $databaseName
$containerResourceName = $databaseResourceName + "/" + $containerName
$containerResourceType = "Microsoft.DocumentDB/databaseAccounts/sqlDatabases/containers"
Write-Host "List containers in the database"
Get-AzResource -ResourceType $containerResourceType -ApiVersion $apiVersion
-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $databaseResourceName
Write-Host "Show specified container"
Get-AzResource -ResourceType $containerResourceType -ApiVersion $apiVersion
-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $containerResourceName

use Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -Params

I am trying to use the command like so:
a = 345
name = "myVM"
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Name $VMName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $FileName -Parameter #{"b" = "a"; "test" = "name"}
the script in the file isn't really important I am just trying to use params inside of it with values of params from the outside. If I put "b" = 345 it works but with the outside param (a), it doesn't so I wanted to know how to do it.
it does execute the script but ignores the commands using these params.
for reference the script is something like this:
New-Item -Path "." -Name "index.html" -ItemType "file" -Value $b
New-Item -Path "." -Name $test -ItemType "file" -Value "3333333"
We use Invoke-AzVMRunCommand to Invoke a run command on the VM. And the -Parameter is used to run the command parameter.
The the type for -Parameter is Hashtable, which maps keys to values. Any non-null object can be used as a key or as a value.
Invoke command is more like a batch script, so when we want to pass a pre-defined variable we have to use the $ symbol without any double quotes (""). So you can solve your problem by following the code snippet below.
#Example
a = 345
name = "myVM"
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Name $VMName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $FileName -Parameter #{"b" = $a; "test" = $name}
Read this Invoke-AzVMRunCommand document and about_Hash_Tables document for more information.
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Name $VMName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $FileName -Parameter #{"b" = $a; "test" = $name}
It don't work. The same problem.
I have the script which create VM in azure:
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Qwerty123456" -AsPlainText
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $user, $password
$x = Get-Random 10000 -Minimum 10
$location = "East US"
$rgname = "testVM"+$x
$VMName = "vm1"
# Create Resource group
New-AzResourceGroup -name $rgname -Location $location
# Create VM, vnet, publicIP, port 3389
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname `
-Location $location `
-Name "verdyshtest" `
-VirtualNetworkName "virtnet" `
-SubnetName 'verdyshnetwork' `
-PublicIpAddressName "verdyshpublicIP" `
-Image Win2019Datacenter `
-OpenPorts 3389 `
-Credential $cred
# Script only running after deploy
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $rgname -VMName $VMName -CommandId RunPowerShellScript -ScriptPath '.\2 Install app on VM.ps1'
In last count it can't to execute 'invoke-azvmruncommand', because of variable in parameters.
But in New-AzVM cmdlet variables works well.

The Azure PowerShell session has not been properly initialized. Please import the module and try again

I'm writing my first powershell script to load data from a CSV to an Azure Storage table. I'm not sure why the line
$storageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName)[0].Value
is throwing an error:
Running Get-Module gives this result:
This is a snippet of the code that I have written till now:
# Step 1, Set variables
# Enter Table Storage location data
$resourceGroupName = "ComputeTesting"
$storageAccountName = 'computetestingdiag'
$tableName = 'strtable'
$dateTime = get-date
# Step 2, Login to your Azure subscription
$sub = Get-AzSubscription -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if(-not($sub))
{
Connect-AzAccount
}
# If you have multiple subscriptions, set the one to use
# Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "<SUBSCRIPTIONID>"
# Step 3, Get the access key for the Azure Storage account
$storageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName)[0].Value
# Step 4, Connect to Azure Table Storage
$storageCtx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
$table = Get-AzureStorageTable -Name $tableName -Context $storageCtx
I checked some of the similar questions and what I understand that uninstalling and re-installing the Azure modules might help. Although I didn't try this yet, is there any other workaround for this? Any help whatsoever would be highly helpful.
According to the script you provided, you use the Az and AzureRM modules at the same PowerShell session. It may cause conflicts. I suggest you use the one module in one session.
For example
$resourceGroupName = "<>"
$storageAccountName = '<>'
$tableName = '<>'
Connect-AzAccount
$storageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName)[0].Value
$storageCtx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
$table = Get-AzStorageTable -Name $tableName -Context $storageCtx

What is the equivalent script in powershell for image-copy-extension extension from Azure CLI

I need to create a VM in locationA from Image ImageB which is in locationB using powershell. Since I'm not able to do it I'm trying to create a copy of ImageB into locationA, so that it will easy for me to create the VM.
I have searched for scripts to copy the images and got many results. I found one particular link which has simple script to copy images. But it is AzureCLI cmdlets. I need powershell scripts to do the job as the tool I'm using understands only powershell scripts.
I have searched for an equivalent powershell script but couldn't find any.Can anyone help me here.
Here is a script to copy the image. You could create a snapshot and copy it to anther region, then create the image.
Create a snapshot:
<# -- Create a snapshot of the OS (and optionally data disks) from the generalized VM -- #>
$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName
$disk = Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $vm.StorageProfile.OsDisk.Name
$snapshot = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $disk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $region
$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $region + "-snap"
New-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName
Copy the snapshot:
# Create the name of the snapshot, using the current region in the name.
$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $region + "-snap"
# Get the source snapshot
$snap = Get-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName
# Create a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for the source snapshot
$snapSasUrl = Grant-AzureRmSnapshotAccess -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName -DurationInSecond 3600 -Access Read
# Set up the target storage account in the other region
$targetStorageContext = (Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName).Context
New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $imageContainerName -Context $targetStorageContext -Permission Container
# Use the SAS URL to copy the blob to the target storage account (and thus region)
Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $snapSasUrl.AccessSAS -DestContainer $imageContainerName -DestContext $targetStorageContext -DestBlob $imageBlobName
Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState -Container $imageContainerName -Blob $imageBlobName -Context $targetStorageContext -WaitForComplete
# Get the full URI to the blob
$osDiskVhdUri = ($targetStorageContext.BlobEndPoint + $imageContainerName + "/" + $imageBlobName)
# Build up the snapshot configuration, using the target storage account's resource ID
$snapshotConfig = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -AccountType StandardLRS `
-OsType Windows `
-Location $targetRegionName `
-CreateOption Import `
-SourceUri $osDiskVhdUri `
-StorageAccountId "/subscriptions/${sourceSubscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/${storageAccountName}"
# Create the new snapshot in the target region
$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $targetRegionName + "-snap"
$snap2 = New-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName -Snapshot $snapshotConfig
Create the image:
<# -- In the second subscription, create a new Image from the copied snapshot --#>
Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId $targetSubscriptionId
$snap = Get-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName
$imageConfig = New-AzureRmImageConfig -Location $destinationRegion

How to move an azure VM image to a different location

I have an azure VM image with a managed disk in east US and I want to move/copy it to West Europe.
Is there an easy way to do it?
I saw that there's an azure cli extension called az-image-copy but it doesn't work for me because it outputs an error which says that it can't find the OS disk (even though the resource ID is correct and I can see it in the azure portal)
ERROR: Resource ServerLinux_OsDisk_1_c208679747734937b10a1525aa84a7d7 is not found
So is there any other way to do it?
You could use azure powershell to copy the managed images, create a snapshot and copy it to anther region, then create the image. Here is a similar issue.

$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $region + "-snap"
New-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName
Copy the snapshot:
# Create the name of the snapshot, using the current region in the name.
$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $region + "-snap"
# Get the source snapshot
$snap = Get-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName

If the resources are under the same subscription then you can get move resources to from the Resource Group 01 (East Us) to the Resource Group 02 (West Europe).
For your help you can check these documents:

Allocated/Unused data disk space VM Wise

(get-azurermvm -ResourceGroupName "<rgname>" -Name "vmname>").StorageProfile.DataDisks
Or
((get-azurermvm -resourcegroupname "<rgname>" -name "vmname>").StorageProfile).DataDisks.DiskSizeGB
But this is showing only the size of data disks. I want to get the Allocated and Unused data disk space. Please someone help.
It seems you want to list all blobs in that storage account, you can use this PowerShell command Get-AzureStorageBlob to list all blobs, like this:
Login-AzureRmAccount
$RGName = "ResourceGroupName"
$SAName = "storageaccountname"
$ConName = "containername"
$TempObj = New-Object -TypeName PSCustomObject
$TempObj |Add-Member -Name BlobName -MemberType NoteProperty -Value $null
$TempObj |Add-Member -Name LeaseState -MemberType NoteProperty -Value $null
$Keylist = Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $RGName -StorageAccountName $SAName
$Key = $Keylist[0].Value
$Ctx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $SAName -StorageAccountKey $Key
$List = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Blob *.vhd -Container $ConName -Context $Ctx
