Affected Resource(s)

vra_machine

Terraform Configuration Files

data "vra_network" "network" {
  name = var.vmnetworkname
}

resource "vra_machine" "vm" {
  name          = var.vmname
  flavor        = var.vmflavorname
  image         = var.vmimagename
  project_id    = data.vra_project.project.id

  nics {
    network_id = data.vra_network.network.id
}

Expected Behavior

Changing the vra_network that a vra_machine is connected to and re-running terraform apply should change the network which the machine is connected.

Actual Behavior

Terraform immediately returns that the modifications are complete. However, no changes have been made. It does not appear that any attempt is made to make this change.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a deployment with the a vra_machine connected to a network, change the network the vra_machine should be connected to, and re-run terraform apply.

Updating the network interfaces for a machine is a feature that is currently not supported. We should at least document this gap in the resource documentation and/or emit a warning message when updating the resource.
