Description of issue (in as much detail as possible)

I’m trying to copy image from one subscription to another under the same tenant, where the location of source and target image is different.

Triggered the below command:

az image copy --source-resource-group Images --source-object-name SourceImage --target-name TargetImage --target-location eastus --target-resource-group Images --target-subscription <target-subscription-id>

Output:

Getting os disk id of the source vm/image

I’m closing this @tamirkamara . I don’t think you can help here since this is something Azure sucks at. They should reaaaallly think about use cases when providing features like Images, rather than having people go for workarounds for something as basic of a use case as this. Thank you for your help. I think you have developed something very nice here. Just doesn’t fit in my use-case 😃

Hi,

Looks like it doesn’t find the source disk resource: /subscriptions/<source-subscription-id>/resourceGroups/packer-Resource-Group-2f7zlqhv52/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/pkros2f7zlqhv52

If I remember currently packer creates the image and then removes the resources used to get there. If that’s right it means that the disk (of the vm) is no longer present and that is required for this extension to work…
