XaaS blueprint issue - Map of string required

[jam3s32]

Hi there,

I'm trying to deploy a basic VM:
resource "vra7_deployment" "TestingVM" {
count = "1"
catalog_item_name = "HPaaS Microsoft Windows"
reasons = "Deployment"
description = "Deployment via terraform"
resource_configuration = {
// OSVersion = "Windows Server 2016"
Site = "SYD01"
}
wait_timeout = "5"
}

However when I run this the resource configuration returns an error that the value for Site requires a map of string. As far as I'm aware the resource and deployment configs require:
DeploymentConfiguration map[string]interface{}
ResourceConfiguration map[string]interface{}

This is my error message:

It seems to be having issues pulling off the blueprint with the mapped names.

Similar issue with Blueprint deployment:

resource "vra7_deployment" "machine" {
  catalog_item_name = "BPNAME"
  count = 2
  description = "Deployment via terraform"
  reasons = "Deployment test"

  deployment_configuration = {
    _leaseDays = "3"
  }
}

Output error:

Error: Incorrect attribute value type

  on main.tf line 15, in resource "vra7_deployment" "machine":
  15: 	deployment_configuration = {

Inappropriate value for attribute "deployment_configuration": element
"_leaseDays": map of string required.

Hi @RReivax

Which version of the provider are you using?

Please try removing the double quotes, here's my declaration which is working with the latest version which can be found here

provider "vra7" {
  username = "${var.vra_username}"
  password = "${var.vra_password}"
  tenant   = "${var.vra_tenant}"
  host     = "${var.vra_host}"
  insecure = true
}

resource "vra7_deployment" "deployment1" {
  catalog_item_name = "centOS 7"

  //component vm1 section
  resource_configuration = {
    vm1._cluster = 1
    vm1.cpu = "2"
    vm1.memory = "4096"
    vm1.description = "Component Description here"
  }

  //deployment section
  deployment_configuration = {
    reasons      = "Some Reasons"
    description  = "Deployment Description here"
    _leaseDays = 5
    _number_of_instances = 1
  }
}

Thanks!

Hi @jam3s32

For Datacenter location you need to use this property in the resource_configuration section: Vrm.DataCenter.Location

Here's an example of my declaration with the latest release.

provider "vra7" {
  username = "${var.vra_username}"
  password = "${var.vra_password}"
  tenant   = "${var.vra_tenant}"
  host     = "${var.vra_host}"
  insecure = true
}

resource "vra7_deployment" "deployment1" {
  catalog_item_name = "centOS 7"

  //component vm1 section
  resource_configuration = {
    vm1._cluster = 1
    vm1.cpu = "2"
    vm1.memory = "4096"
    vm1.description = "Component Description here"
    vm1.Vrm.DataCenter.Location = "New York"
  }

  //deployment section
  deployment_configuration = {
    reasons      = "Some Reasons"
    description  = "Deployment Description here"
    _leaseDays = 5
    _number_of_instances = 1
  }
}

Hi @hobovirtual thank you for the reply.

I build the provider from the master branch of this repository. I tried with the updated repository you linked me, but run into this issue as well (Error: Failed to instantiate provider "vra7" to obtain schema: Incompatible API version with plugin. Plugin version: 4, Client versions: [5]). I am running Terraform v0.12.3.

Are you using a different version of Terraform to make it work ?

HI @RReivax

There's a known issue with the provider and terraform 0.12.x
The team is working on addressing this, i'm using 0.11.13 at the moment until issue #13 is resolved

Thanks!

@hobovirtual Tested with Terraform 0.11.14 and working fine. Thank you.
