Description

I have a problem with importing existing vm's into my state. When I try to do

terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-01

govc output:

# govc find -u=************* | grep test
/depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test
/depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-01

Terraform vsphere docs show importing as

terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-01

But in my case I should set index for my vm as

terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm[0] /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-01

Question: But if I need to import more than 1 vm? I need to manually\script set index for each import? Or terraform can somehow import multiple vms at once?

terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm[0] /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-01
terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm[1] /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-02
terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm[2] /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-03
...

# shortcut for that?
terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm[*] /depo_datacenter/vm/Nodes/test/ubuntu-nodes-test-0*

Hi @Amonlol 👋 ,

Could you please verify if this issue exists on vSphere 7.0 and later since vSphere 6.7 is no longer supported.
