使用 Terraform 导入 Azure Windows 虚拟机时出错

Question

I'm using the terraform azurerm provider 2.0.0 and I'm trying to learn how everything works. I have a bunch of existing azure resources including a bunch of Windows VMs in a Resource Group. It appears that I have to manually import each of them one at a time using the

terraform import azurerm_wndows_virtual_machine.<myvmname> /subscriptions/<mysub>/resourceGroups/<myrg>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<myvmname>

command.

However, when I try to do this I get

Error: The "azurerm_windows_virtual_machine" resource doesn't support attaching OS Disks - please use the `azurerm_virtual_machine` resource instead

My understanding is that I need to put the imported resource in the terraform file as an empty element in order for terraform to connect the imported item with an item in the file.

My terraform script looks like this

# Configure the Azure provider
provider "azurerm" {
    version = "=2.0.0"
    subscription_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    tenant_id       = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "myrg" {

}

resource "azurerm_windows_virtual_machine" "myvmname" {

}

What am I doing wrong?

From this azurerm_windows_virtual_machine terraform document,

Note This resource does not support Unmanaged Disks. If you need to use Unmanaged Disks you can continue to use the azurerm_virtual_machine resource instead.

Note This resource does not support attaching existing OS Disks. You can instead capture an image of the OS Disk or continue to use the azurerm_virtual_machine resource instead.

It seems that you are trying to import a Azure VM that have Unmanaged Disks or attached existing OS Disks. In this case, you need to use azurerm_virtual_machine resource instead.

Your terraform will like this,

# Configure the Azure provider
provider "azurerm" {
    version = "=2.0.0"
    subscription_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    tenant_id       = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "myrg" {

}

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "myvmname" {

}

Virtual Machines can be imported using the resource id, eg

terraform import azurerm_virtual_machine.myvmname /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/mygroup1/providers/microsoft.compute/virtualMachines/machine1
