@Azure Greetings!

While Azure CLI does not directly provide all the functionality needed to enable replication for a newly added disk in Azure Site Recovery, you can achieve the goal through a combination of Azure CLI for basic operations and Azure PowerShell or REST API for more detailed management tasks. If scripting or automation is required, consider leveraging the Azure REST API or Azure PowerShell cmdlets for more granular control.

To enable replication for a newly added disk to a VM in Azure Site Recovery using Azure CLI, you can follow these steps:

Identify the VM and Disk: First, you need to identify the VM and the newly added disk that you want to enable replication for.

Enable Replication: Use the Azure CLI command to enable replication for the newly added disk.

Here is an example of how you can do this:

Replace the placeholders with your actual resource group name, VM name, disk name, recovery services vault name, replication policy name, and subscription ID.
