Stable v3.8.0

ChangeLog

• Add three new properties to data_disk (disk_sharing, attach, and path)

These three new properties (along with the existing datastore_id, disk_mode and unit_number) are required to enable the ability to add shared disks created by a separate "vsphere_virtual_disk" resource.

Stable v3.3.0

ChangeLog

• Added VM disk output
• Added CIDR support for network variable. If CIDR is present in the network address, ipv4subnetmask will be omitted.
• Inherited firmware/enable_disk_uuid/efi_secure_boot from the template with default values are now all null.
• Check if vmfolder exist. Before even if the folder didn't exist the plan would go through and apply would fail. Now plan will fail if the folder is defined and it doesn't exist.

New Variables

output "disk" {
  description = "Disks of the deployed VM"
  value       = vsphere_virtual_machine.vm.*.disk
}

Stable v3.1.0

ChangeLog

• Unit number support
  • Enables use of unit_number per data disk. scsi_controller_count formula modified to determine how many controllers are required based on the highest of data_disk_scsi_controller, var.scsi_controller, OR highest of (unit_number+1)/15 and rounded up using ceil(). so for the following unit_numbers they would equate to:

Unit#  SCSI-ID  formula-result
0      0:0      1
2      0:2      1
15     1:0      2
16     1:1      2
30     2:0      3
45     3:0      4
59     3:15     4
