First, double check that the script successfully created a new Standard Internal Load Balancer with the exact configuration migrated over from your Basic Internal Load Balancer. You can verify this from the Azure portal.
85
-
86
-
Be sure to send a small amount of traffic through the Standard Load Balancer as a manual test.
87

88

Here are a few scenarios of how you add VMs to backend pools of the newly created Standard Internal Load Balancer may be configured, and our recommendations for each one:
89
-
90
-
***Moving existing VMs from backend pools of old Basic Internal Load Balancer to backend pools of newly created Standard Internal Load Balancer**.
91
-
1. To do the tasks in this quickstart, sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
92
-
93
-
1. Select **All resources** on the left menu, and then select the **newly created Standard Load Balancer** from the resource list.
94
-
95
-
1. Under **Settings**, select **Backend pools**.
96
-
97
-
1. Select the backend pool which matches the backend pool of the Basic Load Balancer, select the following value:
98
-
-**Virtual Machine**: Drop down and select the VMs from the matching backend pool of the Basic Load Balancer.
99
-
1. Select **Save**.
100
-
>[!NOTE]
101
-
>For VMs which have Public IPs, you will need to create Standard IP addresses first where same IP address is not guaranteed. Disassociate VMs from Basic IPs and associate them with the newly created Standard IP addresses. Then, you will be able to follow instructions to add VMs into backend pool of Standard Load Balancer.
102
-
103
-
***Creating new VMs to add to the backend pools of the newly created Standard Internal Load Balancer**.
104
-
* More instructions on how to create VM and associate it with Standard Load Balancer can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/load-balancer/quickstart-load-balancer-standard-public-portal#create-virtual-machines).
