What step follows attaching a new disk to a special recovery VM during Azure troubleshooting?

When troubleshooting an issue in Azure by using a special recovery virtual machine (VM), the next logical step after attaching a new disk is to run recovery tools in the recovery VM. This action is essential because it allows you to assess the state of the attached disk, diagnose the issues, and potentially repair any damage to the disk or the data it contains.

The recovery VM is specially configured for such tasks, equipped with tools and features that help manage and recover data. By running recovery tools, you can leverage diagnostics to analyze the disk, recover corrupted files, or even restore the VM's state from a backup, which are crucial steps in resolving the issue at hand.

In contrast, starting the original VM would not be productive until you have addressed the problems with the new disk. Deleting the problematic disk would likely result in data loss and is not a step that leads to resolution. Checking the network configuration might be relevant if network issues are suspected, but it does not directly address the immediate concern of recovering the data or the VM state. Therefore, running recovery tools in the recovery VM is the most appropriate next step.
