Hi,
I am trying to deploy VM thru Terraform using code given in the post on Standalone ESXi server and I am getting error while running terraform -apply command.
Error: while extracting OVF parameters: could not find host with ID "host-10": ServerFaultCode: The object 'vim.HostSystem:host-10' has already been deleted or has not been completely created
I tried giving host_system_id parameter randomly but it didn't help. I also looked at the logs /var/log/fdm.log file but it was empty and couldn't be help.
I would like to know from where I can get the host_system_id which is required to deploy VM using OVF option to standalone ESXi host.
terraform {
required_providers {
vsphere = {
source = "hashicorp/vsphere"
version = "2.4.3"
}
}
}
provider "vsphere" {
user = ${var.exsi_user}
password = ${var.esxi_passwd}
vsphere_server = ${var.esxi_server}
allow_unverified_ssl = true
}
resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "amitv-test-vm" {
name = "AmitV-Test-Vm-01"
datastore_id = "/vmfs/volumes/NFS_Storage" # data.vsphere_datastore.datastore.id
host_system_id = "host-10"
resource_pool_id = "ha-root-pool"
wait_for_guest_net_timeout = 0
wait_for_guest_ip_timeout = 0
ovf_deploy {
allow_unverified_ssl_cert = true
local_ovf_path = "/Users/amitvyas/Downloads/AmitV-Test-VM.ovf"
disk_provisioning = "thin"
ip_protocol = "IPV4"
ip_allocation_policy = "STATIC_MANUAL"
ovf_network_map = {
"Network 1" = "VM Network"
"Network 2" = "PG_Storage_VM"
}
}
vapp {
properties = {
"guestinfo.hostname" = "amitv-test-vm",
"guestinfo.ipaddress" = "10.0.1.199",
"guestinfo.netmask" = "255.255.255.0",
"guestinfo.gateway" = "10.0.1.1",
"guestinfo.dns" = "10.0.1.1",
"guestinfo.domain" = "example.com",
"guestinfo.ntp" = "ntp.example.com",
"guestinfo.password" = "VMware1!",
"guestinfo.ssh" = "True"
}
}
}
