Description

I purpose to update resource azurerm_virtual_machine with storage datadisk. Today if you deploy a VM with a Premium datadisk, and you want change this value to "Standard" after deployment, Terraform can't do this change.
But if you use resource azurerm_managed_datadisk, to create your datadisk, this resource is able to change "Premium" > "Standard" or "Standard" to "Premium" datadisk if your VM is offline.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_virtual_machine

Potential Terraform Configuration

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  ~ module.servers.azurerm_virtual_machine.vm-linux-with-datadisk
      storage_data_disk.0.managed_disk_type: "Premium_LRS" => "Standard_LRS"



Error: Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* module.servers.azurerm_virtual_machine.vm-linux-with-datadisk: 1 error(s) occurred:

* azurerm_virtual_machine.vm-linux-with-datadisk: compute.VirtualMachinesClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error.

This issue was resolved? Or, the status of issue is still "opened"?

[degerrit]

In case this helps, I had an identical "Managed disk storage account type change" Azure error on terraform 0.12.10 but with no indication in the plan that the managed_disk_type was going to be changed (and, as far as I can tell afterwards - it wasn't : Premium_LRS = Premium SSD?)

The VM in question was just imported into terraform, so some state information might have been missing (?). On the other hand, the error came from Azure, so terraform was trying to change something Azure did not allow us to change.

Initializing provider plugins...
- Checking for available provider plugins...
- Downloading plugin for provider "azurerm" (hashicorp/azurerm) 1.35.0...
- Downloading plugin for provider "template" (hashicorp/template) 2.1.2...

Plan (stripped of some lines not changing):

$ terraform plan

    }

Plan: 0 to add, 2 to change, 0 to destroy.

Again, no disks to be changed:

$ terraform show
  ~ module.rgxx-prod-postgres-01.module.vm.azurerm_network_interface.network_interface_card[0]
  ~ module.rgxx-prod-postgres-01.module.vm.azurerm_virtual_machine.virtual_machine[0]

$ terraform apply -input=false "terraform_plan_${CI_PIPELINE_ID}_${CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA}_${GITLAB_USER_ID}.tfout"
Acquiring state lock. This may take a few moments...

  on modules/vm-0.1-customdisk/main.tf line 66, in resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "virtual_machine":
  66: resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "virtual_machine" {

In the end, I stopped and deallocated the VM and then the terraform apply job went through without any errors, and without any discernable change in OS disk...

Closing this as we're currently working on version 2.0 of the Azure Provider which we previously announced in #2807.
As a part of this we're introducing five new resources which will supersede the existing azurerm_virtual_machine and azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set resources:

azurerm_linux_virtual_machine
azurerm_linux_virtual_machine_scale_set
azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set_extension
azurerm_windows_virtual_machine
azurerm_windows_virtual_machine_scale_set

We recently opened #5550 which adds support for the new Virtual Machine resources - which require attaching Data Disks using the azurerm_managed_disk and azurerm_virtual_machine_data_disk_attachment resources rather than having them defined inline, which allows for more granular control/flexibility when modifying disks. Since the existing Virtual Machine resource is being superseded, unfortunately we have no plans to backport this to the existing azurerm_virtual_machine resource - however we’ll be publishing information on the new resources (and how you can opt-into the Beta) in the near-future.

Thanks

This has been released in version 2.0.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.0.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
