    Resizing a disk requires the VM to be stopped and deallocated first. And keep in mind that you will lose any dynamic Virtual IP address that you have. If you want to do this without deallocating, add a new disk and copy the old data across to the new disk, then delete the old disk.

    If the disk is removed from the operating system, and then detached from the VM, can it be resized then without a need for de-allocation of the virtual machine?
