Cannot Stop vMX100 on Azure

[ccicali]

Hello,

i'm trying a vMX100 on azure, but since i have a pay as you go and it is a trial, i'd like to stop the vm and start it when i want to try it, so i can save costs.

I tried to stop the vm but i get this error:

Executed stop command on 1 selected items

10:50 AM

Succeeded: 0, Failed: 1, Canceled: 0.

Error details

vMXTrial: The client '****************' with object id '*********' has permission to perform action 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/deallocate/action' on scope '/subscriptions/***/resourceGroups/***/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vMXTrial/deallocate'; however, the access is denied because of the deny assignment with name 'System deny assignment created by managed application /subscriptions/ea33b395-69f6-4b24-aa4e-9af284984e8f/resourceGroups/vMXTrialResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Solutions/applications/e66f5b3b08274953a0be4cd24e589cc6' and Id '1e736d58247040fb87937258620c67b0' at scope '/subscriptions/ea33b395-69f6-4b24-aa4e-9af284984e8f/resourceGroups/vMXTrialResourceGrouptdyyowwjh4xf2'. (Code: DenyAssignmentAuthorizationFailed)

Is there a way to start the vmx as needed and the stop it?

Regards

Hi @ccicali , as previously posted yesterday on a separate post the underlying vmx host is locked down so you won’t be able to shut it down or even reboot it

Post I was referring to:

can you reach out to Meraki support to request the shutdown and bring back online when required
