Ability to attach existing VMDK

[RobertCGouge]

We are rebuilding our infra every sprint. We've found a need to keep some data on a VMDK that stays around.

We can do this if we create our own main.tf and following the disk syntax as outlined here vsphere_virtual_machine

disk { label = "data_disk" attach = true path = var.disk_paths[var.environment] datastore_id = data.vsphere_datastore.datastore.id unit_number = 1 }

I tried adding the logic into a local copy of the module, but I could not get it work. I would get the following error

error processing disk changes post-clone: disk.1: error creating disk: ServerFaultCode: The object 'vim.Datastore:****' has already been deleted or has not been completely created Additionally, there was an error removing the cloned virtual machine: disk.1: cannot find disk device: disk UUID is missing

// Additional disks defined by Terraform config dynamic "disk" { for_each = var.data_disk iterator = terraform_disks content { label = terraform_disks.key size = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "size_gb", null) unit_number = ( lookup( terraform_disks.value, "unit_number", -1 ) < 0 ? ( lookup( terraform_disks.value, "data_disk_scsi_controller", 0 ) > 0 ? ( (terraform_disks.value.data_disk_scsi_controller * 15) + index(keys(var.data_disk), terraform_disks.key) + (var.scsi_controller == tonumber(terraform_disks.value["data_disk_scsi_controller"]) ? local.template_disk_count : 0) ) : ( index(keys(var.data_disk), terraform_disks.key) + local.template_disk_count ) ) : ( tonumber(terraform_disks.value["unit_number"]) ) ) thin_provisioned = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "thin_provisioned", "true") eagerly_scrub = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "eagerly_scrub", "false") datastore_id = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "datastore_id", null) storage_policy_id = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "storage_policy_id", null) io_reservation = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "io_reservation", null) io_share_level = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "io_share_level", "normal") io_share_count = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "io_share_level", null) == "custom" ? lookup(terraform_disks.value, "io_share_count") : null disk_mode = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "disk_mode", null) keep_on_remove = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "keep_on_remove", "false") attach = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "attach", "false") path = lookup(terraform_disks.value, "path", null) }

Would it be possible to get attaching logic added to the module, or would somebody be able to point out where I messed up in trying to add it myself.
