I have a storage account with as OS-disk blob and would like to redeploy the VM.
Under the classic deployment system I could simply choose from disk when creating a new VM, but I cant find that functionality on the new portal, it only offers the marketplace. The disk is in the new format so I cant use the classic portal.
Thanks
As noted in the comments, you can't do this end-to-end in the new portal yet.
Here's an Azure Resource Manager template to deploy a VM from an OS-disk blob: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-vm-specialized-vhd-new-or-existing-vnet
Using the "Deploy to Azure" button takes you to the new portal to enter parameters. The readme also includes PowerShell instructions.
This write-up also covers capturing an image, and links to some of the options for creating the image using different versions of PowerShell.. http://www.codeisahighway.com/how-to-capture-your-own-custom-virtual-machine-image-under-azure-resource-manager-api/

I have a server in Classic ASM which I want to move to another subscription.
I tried using the move feature on the portal but it throws error that target subscription is not empty.
Are there any way that I can recreate the classic VM from its VHDs and also migrate its IP address to the new Subscription.
I don't want the Generalise the VM.
Thanks.
I tried using the move feature on the portal but it throws error that target subscription is not empty.
If you want to move ASM resources to a new subscription, you should note:
All classic resources in the subscription must be moved in the same operation.
The target subscription must not contain any other classic resources.
The move can only be requested through a separate REST API for classic moves. The standard Resource Manager move commands don't work when moving classic resources to a new subscription.
To move classic resources to a new subscription, use the REST operations that are specific to classic resources, refer to this link.
Besides, if it is possible, I recommend you to use ARM nowadays, Microsoft released a new management model called Azure Resource Manager (ARM) which provides many new capabilities to manage, and control Azure resources. You could migrate the VM from ASM to ARM, refer to this link. And move it to another subscription, refer to this link.
The client does not plan to migrate to ARM currently.
To migrate the VM to another subscription, I followed the below steps and it worked well.
1- Copy the VM's VHDs to the destination storage account.
2- Create VM Image (Classic) using the VHD which was copied and then create VM out of it.
3- Unfortunately, I was unable to find a way to migrate the public IP address to another subscription.
We have created a VM in ARM mode (Azure Resource Manager) that is the new mode available only in the new portal (https://portal.azure.com).
Now we would to do setup for End Point services to do so we need to check using old Azure view Htps://manage.azure.com.
on the https://manage.azure.com we could not see created VM machine on this site. it is showing 0 VM machine but on the Portal page it showing our created VM machine.
Kindly let me us know how to visualise our VM machines on Both of Azure page.
Thanks,
There is no possibility to view the Resource manager VM in old classic portal. You can view it only in new portal. As Azure will gradually move towards using only the new portal, they stopped adding new functionalities in old portal and allow them only in new portal. Resource manager is one such functionality. However all the VMs in classic portal will be visible in New portal and you can configure everything in new portal (including the endpoint creation). There are still some functionalities which depend on old portal still (Like AD, remote App) and they may migrate to new portal in some time, but apart from that New portal is feature rich than the classic portal
I have have created a Resource Manager VM image in Azure and this is publically accessible from the web and can be downloaded.
From what I can see, users can download this image if they wanted to and upload it into their Azure subscription.
Is it possible to deploy this image from our Azure blob storage, from the PowerShell examples and .NET SDK it says it has to be in the same subscription and location.
The documentation is correct, you need to first copy the image to a storage account in the subscription where you want to create the VM from.
The alternative, and sounds like it might meet your objective, is to publish the image into the marketplace. You can also provide an ARM template to allow users to configure it before deployment.

For an walkthrough on creating ARM templates (not VMs but the same tools/principals apply) - please see my blog post https://russellyoung.net/2016/04/15/arm-cd-vsts/
I want to deploy cloud service to Azure, but when deploying must select Storage Account(tried both in new portal and in Visual Studio 2015). My storage account was created using new portal "Storage accounts" and was assigned to some Resource group, as a result I can't choose it when deploying. Any suggestions how to deploy?
One possible reason is that the storage account created by the new portal was likely created under the resource manager deployment model, while the cloud service is still under the classic deployment model. These don't play well together. You can read a little more at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-manager-deployment-model/. I don't think that a cloud service can use a resource manager storage account for deployment.
In the new portal look at the All Resources blade. If the storage account has a green icon it is a resource manager account. If the storage account has a blue icon it's a classic account.
Create a new storage account as a classic account, either by creating it in the older portal or by using the drop down in the new portal before you click create on the blade that talks about the storage accounts (the before you provide the account name, etc.). Once you do this then I think the account show show up as an option for your cloud service to deploy with.
Also note that if the storage account was created just prior to trying to select it, it might take a minute or two to become visible as an option.
In the previous Silverlight Azure Management portal it was possible to "browse storage" and select a service package and the service configuration from Blob Storage:
and that was very convenient.
Now in the "preview" new portal the equivalent dialog looks like this:
Looks like the only option now is uploading the file directly from my computer.
How do I create or update a deployment from files in Blob Storage now?
I don't think this is available just yet in the new portal. You can always go to the old portal from the newer one and use the feature from there. There are still a number of things that the new portal will not do (e.g. SQL Azure Management, Managing Co-admins etc. to name a few) and for those, you would need to go to the old portal.
Hope this helps.
