Description

### **This is autogenerated. Please review and update as needed.**

## Describe the bug
When creating a vnet to vnet connection and you don't specify the full ID of the second gateway (or even the first if the connection is in a different RG), then the error you get back is a mysterious "InternalServerError". There could be some validation/checking taking place prior in order to capture the fault and give better feedback to the user. After some trial and error I realised I needed to provide the full ID of the second gateway as it exists in a different resource group, but it would have been helpful to receive a clearer error.

**Command Name**
`az network vpn-connection create`

**Errors:**
`
Deployment failed. Correlation ID: 4bd1c373-004f-48e0-bde6-d6b8a7c79e27. {
"status": "Failed",
"error": {
"code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",
"message": "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.",
"details": [
{
"code": "InternalServerError",
"message": "An error occurred.",
"details": []
}
]
}
}
`
