[BUG] VM creation takes too long

[maurete]

Describe the bug

When creating a new VM, the command terraform apply takes about 15 minutes and 30 seconds to complete. On the Proxmox web console, however, I can see that the machine was actually up and running after about one minute.

Am I missing something?

The Proxmox cluster is reachable via a local network connection, so it doesn't seem to be a network issue. Otherwise the plugin works wonderfully.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the following main.tf file:

   provider "proxmox" {
   virtual_environment {}
   }
   resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_vm" "my_test_vm" {
   name        = "my-test"
   description = "Managed by Terraform"
   node_name = "node1"
   agent {
   enabled = true
   }
   clone {
   datastore_id = "Volume-Test"
   vm_id = "10002"
   node_name = "node0"
   }
   initialization {
   ip_config {
     ipv4 {
       address = "dhcp"
     }
   }
   }
   network_device {
   vlan_id = "501"
   }
   }

2. Run terraform plan -out plan.tfplan

3. Run terraform apply -input=false plan.tfplan

Expected behavior

terraform apply command completing in reasonable time, similar to what can be seen in the Proxmox console.

Dismiss this issue, disabled the agent and everything worked perfectly.

@maurete i'm having the same issue but I don't know what you mean by 'disabled the agent' and was hoping you could provide a little bit more detail

[bertogravscale]

he means disable qemu guest agent in proxmox vm options here when disable it work too

if qemu guest agent is on it should be installed and running inside vm (apt install qemu-guest-agent)
