Terraform

Terraform v1.4.2

Terraform Provider

v2.0.2

VMware vSphere

8.0.2.00200

Description

The dynamic disk0 is wrongly created as thin despite stating eagerly_scrub: true, thin_provisioned: false. This fails consecutive runs.
Persistent / attached dynamic disk1 shows a wrong eagerly_scrub: false, thin_provisioned: true but is created correctly as eagerZeroedThick

The template was created with packer with a thin disk.
Creating the VM manually "Deploy from Template -> VM Templates" and setting "Select virtual disk format" to i.e. "Thick Provision Eager Zeroed" properly creates the disk.

If the whole template is needed, please let me know.

Found #2178 being a duplicate of #2116 but as per their description it looks like my problem extends the underlying issue.

[tenthirtyam]

Please verify with the latest - v2.8.2 - and let us know since the reported version is rather old.

Hi, I've been a bit constrained last week.

I just ran the same config using v2.8.2:

thick provision:

• disk0: eagerly_scrub = false and thin_provisioned = false -> thick
• disk1: eagerly_scrub = false and thin_provisioned = true -> thick (would be thin)

eagerZeroedThick provision:

• disk0: eagerly_scrub = true and thin_provisioned = false -> thick
• disk1: eagerly_scrub = false and thin_provisioned = true -> eagerZeroedThick (would be thin)
• Consecutive run wants to change eagerly_scrub = false -> true

│ Error: disk.0: cannot change the value of "eagerly_scrub" - (old: false newValue: true)
│ 
│   with vsphere_virtual_machine.vms[0],
│   on resources.tf line 58, in resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vms":
│   58: resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vms" {

At least I can still destroy the resource without an error but consecutive will fail because the state does not match the disks.
