Issue

  • Issue while enabling the Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHB) in PAYG VM via CLI.
  • Enabling the Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHB) fails using Azure CLI but works using Azure Portal UI.
  • Enabling AHB on an existing RHEL PAYG VM via Azure CLI fails with below error:

    # az vm update -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup --license-type RHEL_BYOS                                          
      az vm update: 'RHEL_BYOS' is not a valid value for '--license-type'. See 'az vm update --help'.
