Reference command name

az disk create

Feedback

documentation page with issue https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/disk-encryption-migrate

on this page is the following snippet:

# Get the source disk ID
SOURCE_DISK_ID=$(az disk show --resource-group "MyResourceGroup" --name "MySourceDisk" --query "id" -o tsv)

# Create a new disk from the source disk
az disk create --resource-group "MyResourceGroup" --name "MyTargetDisk" 
  --source "$SOURCE_DISK_ID" --upload-type "Copy"

# For OS disks, specify --os-type "Linux" or --os-type "Windows"

however with most current version of az cli installed (MacOS) this will generate an error like:

az disk create: 'Copy' is not a valid value for '--upload-type'. Allowed values: Upload, UploadWithSecurityData.

Your CLI is up-to-date.

the equivalent PS script does at least work as a workaround
