hi @josenk Can you please help me with this.

[josenk]

Not really any details in your output to point to any possible problems??? Do you have any additional details you can add?

Is this the first time you are trying to use this plugin? Is this a new problem, or existing problem? Did you compile it yourself? Did you try running this on another system, etc... and anything else you could add...

[pradeep-git23]

Yes, first time i am using the plugin. No, i used the existing plugin. I didnt make any changes on the plugin side i simply install terraform and run my piece of code.

[josenk]

You'll need to provide more details... Did you try the examples?

[pradeep-git23]

my terraform file looks like this and on executing terraform apply on this i am facing the subjected issue:

---

terraform { required_providers { esxi = { source = "kube-cloud/esxi" version = "1.9.5" } } } provider "esxi" { esxi_hostname = "***" esxi_hostport = 22 esxi_username = "root" esxi_password = "**" }

resource "esxi_guest" "vmtest02" { guest_name = "vmtest02" disk_store = "datastore1" boot_disk_type = "thin" boot_disk_size = "35" memsize = "2048" numvcpus = "2" power = "on"

clone_from_vm = "Rhel-08-con"

ovf_source = "https://*.*.*.*/ui/#/host/storage/datastores/63d111ce-e393b6 e5-9e7c-000c29215e4b/Rhel-08-con/Rhel-08-con.vmx"

network_interfaces { virtual_network = "VM Network" nic_type = "e1000" }

guest_startup_timeout = 45 guest_shutdown_timeout = 30 }

[pradeep-git23]

i also tried with multiple version of provider but same error

[josenk]

source = "kube-cloud/esxi

I don't support the kube-cloud fork. Try one of the examples from this GitHub project.

[pradeep-git23]

i have tested with this provider as well unfortunatelly same error:

terraform { required_version = ">= 0.13" required_providers { esxi = { source = "registry.terraform.io/josenk/esxi" #

For more information, see the provider source documentation:

  #
  # https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi
  # https://registry.terraform.io/providers/josenk/esxi
  #
}

} }

[josenk]

Are you able run ovftool manually?

[pradeep-git23]

No i didnt , is it mandatory to run ovftool before executing provisioning on esxi using this module ?

[josenk]

Yes, it's required and documented in the readme.

[pradeep-git23]

Hi @josenk i have installed ovftool now. Ovftool version: VMware ovftool 4.4.3 (build-18663434)

But still same issue. Throwing an error like "plugin is crashing"

[aduzsardi]

you are using vSphere 8 ? If yes, i don't think this provider supports ESXi 8.x+
