Panic Output
Expected Behavior
A new VM must have been created.
Actual Behavior
Error: error reconfiguring virtual machine: error processing disk changes post-clone: disk.2: cannot assign disk: unit number 1 on SCSI bus 1 is in use
│
│ with vsphere_virtual_machine.vm,
│ on main.tf line 49, in resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm":
│ 49: resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm" {
Steps to Reproduce
Create a vSphere template with 4 SCSi Controllers and 13 disks. Disks are:
0:0, 1:0,1:1, 1:2, 1:3 , 2:0, 2:1, 2:2, 2:3, 3:0, 3:1 ,3:2, 3:3
terraform apply
Important Factoids
When I try to clone a VM from the vSphere GUI using the customization spec Linux file, it works.
Same thing when trying to reproduce through terraform doesn't work.
The template has 13 disks in it.
This issue related to disk sorting and seems to be fixed already but still getting the same error. Please check debug output, sorting does not seem to be working.
