@jlosito Hope Below Behavior Solves your requirement, please comment so that i can submit fix.
First time terraform apply without status attribute mentioned in .tf file:
root@terraformclient:~/Go_Workspace/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-bigip# terraform apply
An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
+ create
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# bigip_ltm_virtual_server.test-vs will be created
+ resource "bigip_ltm_virtual_server" "test-vs" {
+ client_profiles = [
+ "/Common/tcp",
]
+ destination = "10.255.255.254"
+ fallback_persistence_profile = "/Common/dest_addr"
+ id = (known after apply)
+ ip_protocol = "tcp"
+ mask = "255.255.255.255"
+ name = "/Common/test-vs"
+ persistence_profiles = [
+ "/Common/source_addr",
]
+ port = 9999
+ profiles = [
+ "/Common/http",
]
+ server_profiles = [
+ "/Common/tcp-lan-optimized",
]
+ snatpool = (known after apply)
+ source = "0.0.0.0/0"
+ source_address_translation = "automap"
+ status = "enabled"
+ translate_address = (known after apply)
+ translate_port = (known after apply)
+ vlans_enabled = (known after apply)
}
Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
Do you want to perform these actions?
Terraform will perform the actions described above.
Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.
Enter a value: yes

bigip_ltm_virtual_server.test-vs: Creation complete after 0s [id=/Common/test-vs]
Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.Terraform show output:

Do you really want to destroy all resources?
Terraform will destroy all your managed infrastructure, as shown above.
There is no undo. Only 'yes' will be accepted to confirm.
Enter a value: yes

Destroy complete! Resources: 1 destroyed.
Is there currently a way to modify a virtual server's property called "State" to either "Enabled" or "Disabled"? What I'm referring to is something similar to the following link for nodes.
