Terraform change bios

[kalisteel]

Terraform change bios on "seabios" but I need "ovmf"
Plan terraform:

      ]

      network_device_vlan_id = "326"
    },

Mine provider

      source  = "bpg/proxmox"
      version = "0.48.1"

I can't change bios on virtual machine, because I don't want to lose the data on it.I'm moving the VM from Vsphere(ESXi)

I'm try change the code in module and add string: bios = lookup(each.value, "ovmf", "seabios")

but I realized that it is not necessary, because the provider has a default value.

Hi @kalisteel 👋🏼 Could you provide a bit more detail about the flow that led to this result?

• Did you create the VM from the provided main.tf template initially, and then call terraform apply again with the same template?
• Or did you import the VM resource into Terraform state and then attempt to build a template for it?
• If you imported it, how did you do so? What commands did you use?

[kalisteel]

I transferred vm from vmware to proxmox using ovftool, then set up the proxmox machine inside and ran the terraform plan by first creating a machine in the main.tf. After that, the plan shows that the bios is being replaced. I did the terraform operations through gitlab.

[bpg]

Sorry, I still don't fully understand your process.

.., then set up the proxmox machine inside

How did you do that? Manually via the Proxmox UI?

[bpg]

Also, the main.tf you've posted doesn't seem to be correct (or it came from a different provider). Most of attributes referenced there do not exist.

I did the terraform operations through gitlab.

Could you please double check what is the plan file the GitLab flow is using? Also, I'll be curious what is the current TF state cached on GitLab. It might be corrupted somehow by replacing providers (if that was the case), so the plan apply may give you inconsistent results.

[kalisteel]

pardon my English. Yes, I configure in the web interface of proxmox. I don't know exactly what provider the code is from, it was already done before me and I continue to do it according to the template, the other () work, but on oracle linux it changes the bios, I can send the full main.tf.
The code specifies which provider to refer to,I haven't changed suppliers.

[bpg]

The full main.tf would help.
