Answer 1

To add a managed disk to a VM, you can use the property called dataDisks under the storageProfile object of that VM resource. You can prefer the below example to understand it better.

[

    {

      "lun": 0,

      "name": "[concat(parameters('virtualMachineName'), '-datadisk1')]",

      "createOption": "attach",

      "managedDisk": {

        "id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks/', concat(parameters('virtualdisk1name')]"

      }

    },

    {

      "lun": 1,

      "name": "[concat(parameters('virtualMachineName'), '-datadisk2')]",

      "createOption": "attach",

      "managedDisk": {

        "id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks/', '-datadisk2'))]"

      }

    },

    {

      "lun": 2,

      "name": "[concat(parameters('virtualMachineName'), '-datadisk3')]",

      "createOption": "attach",

      "managedDisk": {

        "id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks/' ,'-datadisk3'))]"

      }

    }

]

I hope this will work.
