no power on machine

[vlad666]

When created a VM not is power on. The VM is created. The data.xenserver_vm.X.data_items[0].power_state report it as "Running".

Why?

[acefei]

Could you elaborate on your test steps that can help reproduce the issue?

[vlad666]

This is my main.tf:

locals {
  env_vars = { for tuple in regexall("export\\s*(\\S*)\\s*=\\s*(\\S*)\\s*", file(".env")) : tuple[0] => tuple[1] }
}

terraform {
  required_providers {
    xenserver = {
      source = "xenserver/xenserver"
    }
  }
}

provider "xenserver" {
  host     = local.env_vars["XENSERVER_HOST"]
  username = local.env_vars["XENSERVER_USERNAME"]
  password = local.env_vars["XENSERVER_PASSWORD"]
}

data "xenserver_sr" "sr" {
  name_label = "PROD119_NFS16_ST12"
}

### resource "xenserver_vdi" "vdi0" {
###   name_label   = "core-gitlab-runner-docker-dc6-mad_root"
###   sr_uuid      = data.xenserver_sr.sr.data_items[0].uuid
###   virtual_size = 25 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024
###   type         = "system"
### }

data "xenserver_network" "network" {
  name_label = "PRO-PUB-SERVICIOS-CORE"
}

resource "xenserver_vm" "vm" {
  name_label       = local.env_vars["VMNAME"]
  template_name    = local.env_vars["TEMPLATE_NAME"]
  static_mem_max   = 4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024
  vcpus            = 4
  cores_per_socket = 2
  boot_order       = "c"
  boot_mode        = "bios"

  network_interface = [
    {
      device       = "0"
      network_uuid = data.xenserver_network.network.data_items[0].uuid,
    },
  ]

  other_config = {
    "tf_created" = "true"
  }
}

data "xenserver_vm" "vm" {
}

output "vm_out" {
  value = data.xenserver_vm.vm.data_items[0].power_state
}

I execute all command:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

The vm is create and appears as "Running":

Outputs:

vm_out = "Running"

But is stopped:

Also we are trying to autoconfig network. My template have started getty@ttyS0 with autologin (as override)

[acefei]

Could you try using resource instead of data source here, please ref to the example of resource vm

output "vm_out" {
  value = xenserver_vm.vm.power_state
}

Since you set the amount of resources and data sources in the main.tf, Terraform will process in parallel by using the -parallelism flag which defaults to 10.

You could set this to 1 and then Terraform will only process one resource at a time.

Your other option here would be to force Terraform to create dependencies between these resources by using the depends_on configuration block.

[vlad666]

That failed.

But i don't need ouput, i need get my new vm powered on where there are created.

Try to query xenserver_vm data source with xenserver_vm.uuid or xenserver_vm.name_label. for example:

resource "xenserver_vm" "vm" {
    name_label = "win11"
    template_name = "Windows 11_Cus"
    static_mem_max = 4294967296
    vcpus = 2
    network_interface = [
        {
            device = "0",
            network_uuid = "42678ed0-18d1-9483-df1c-10cd632953d1",
            mac = "9e:da:6e:5b:f5:30",
        },

    ]

    name_description = "VM created from custom template" 

}
output "vm_out" {
    value = xenserver_vm.vm
}

data "xenserver_vm" "vm" {
    name_label = "win11"

}
output "vm_data_out" {
    value = data.xenserver_vm.vm.data_items[0].power_state
}

The data source is added later after resource is created, we get

vm_data_out = "Halted"
vm_out = {
  "boot_mode" = "uefi"
  "boot_order" = "cd"
  "cdrom" = ""
  "check_ip_timeout" = 0
  "cores_per_socket" = 2
  "default_ip" = ""
  "dynamic_mem_max" = 4294967296
  "dynamic_mem_min" = 4294967296
  "hard_drive" = toset([])
  "id" = "8ae6f195-18e9-c341-c26f-80dfc604d861"
  "name_description" = "VM created from custom template"
  "name_label" = "win11"
  "network_interface" = toset([
    {
      "device" = "0"
      "mac" = "9e:da:6e:5b:f5:30"
      "network_uuid" = "42678ed0-18d1-9483-df1c-10cd632953d1"
      "other_config" = tomap({})
      "vif_ref" = "OpaqueRef:1391144c-279e-1c92-9b5f-5b49c5d11039"
    },
  ])
  "other_config" = tomap({})
  "static_mem_max" = 4294967296
  "static_mem_min" = 4294967296
  "template_name" = "Windows 11_Cus"
  "uuid" = "8ae6f195-18e9-c341-c26f-80dfc604d861"
  "vcpus" = 2
}
