Vsphere network interfaces

[eloycoto]

Hi,

Using the following config, we have the following issue:

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "testb" {
  datacenter = "XXX"
  cluster = "XXX"
  name   = "terraformweb4"
  vcpu   = 1
  memory = 256

  network_interface {
    label = "Staging"
  }

  disk {
    datastore = "datastore_XXX"
    template =  "x_template"
    size=10
  }
}

The template (x_template) has one network address, when terraform clone the template, terraform added a new network interface, so the vsphere crash with NicSeetingMismatch.

1 error(s) occurred:

utomatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

If my template doesn't have any network interface works ok. Is this the correct process? Or the system need to update the label of the interfaces?

If the template has one interface, the system added a new one.

Our POV is the system need to update the interfaces or create a new ones, but not sure that we are correct.

Hi,

You can merge into #3559, looks like that @mkuzmin and me are working on this at the same time.

Cheers.
