Sometimes you would want to add an additional Network Interface Card to a Microsoft Azure ARM (Azure Resource Manager) based virtual machine.
PowerShell is your answer:
| # Recently tested fully with a later version of the Azure PowerShell module – Install-Module AzureRM -RequiredVersion 4.4.1 | |
| #region Logon to Azure | |
| Login–AzureRmAccount | |
| $subscription = Get-AzureRmSubscription | Out-GridView –PassThru | |
| Select-AzureRmSubscription –SubscriptionId $subscription.Id | |
| #endregion | |
| # Variables for YOu to fill in | |
| $ResourceGroup = 'MyResourceGroupName' # resource group name to contain the new NIC | |
| $VMname = 'VMware-01' # VM you want to add the new NIC to | |
| $NICName = 'VMware-NIC' # for the new NIC | |
| $Location = 'southeastasia' # for the new NIC | |
| # Get the VNET to which to connect the NIC | |
| $VNET = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork –Name 'NestedVMware-vnet' –ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup | |
| # Get the Subnet ID to which to connect the NIC | |
| $SubnetID = (Get-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig –Name 'default' –VirtualNetwork $VNET).Id | |
| #–> Create now the NIC Interface | |
| New-AzureRmNetworkInterface –Name $NICName –ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup –Location $Location –SubnetId $SubnetID | |
| #Get the VM config to a variable | |
| $VM = Get-AzureRmVM –Name $VMname –ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup | |
| #Stop the VM | |
| Stop-AzureRmVM –Name $VM.Name –ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName –StayProvisioned –Force | |
| #Add the second NIC to the VM variable | |
| $NewNIC = Get-AzureRmNetworkInterface –Name $NICName –ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup | |
| $VM = Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface –VM $VM –Id $NewNIC.Id | |
| # Show the Network interfaces | |
| $VM.NetworkProfile.NetworkInterfaces | |
| #we have to set one of the NICs to Primary, i will set the first NIC in this example | |
| $VM.NetworkProfile.NetworkInterfaces.Item(0).Primary = $true | |
| #Update the VM configuration (The VM will be restarted) | |
| Update-AzureRmVM –VM $VM –ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup |
