I created a custom image which has one OS disk and one data disk. resource “azurerm\_image” “saplinux” { name = “TEST” location = “eastus” resource\_group\_name = “rg-eus-prod-001” ``` os_disk { os_type = "Linux" os_state = "Generalized" caching = "ReadWrite" blob_uri = "https://xxxx/vhds/A0DFOF44RHE076-1.vhd" size_gb = 27 } data_disk { blob_uri = "https://xxx/vhds/A0DFOF44RHE076-2.vhd" caching = "ReadWrite" size_gb = 23 lun = 0 } ``` } ## I use “source\_image\_id” to refer to this image ## source\_image\_id = azurerm\_image.saplinux.id But when I ran “terraform apply”, I got this error: Error: Error creating Linux Virtual Machine “vma0dfeustest001” (Resource Group “rg-a0df-eus-prod-001”): compute.VirtualMachinesClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=400 – Original Error: Code=“InvalidParameter” Message=“StorageProfile.dataDisks.lun does not have required value(s) for image specified in storage profile.” Target=“storageProfile” Custom image is created successfully, any idea about this error? ---

Below is the image details that Iam using in my VM configuration image\_publisher = “dellemc”, image\_offer = “dell-emc-datadomain-virtual-edition-v4”, image\_sku = “ddve-40-ver-7105”, image\_version = “latest”, Can anybody help me how to fix this issue. ---

2024-04-25. I am getting the same error Message=“StorageProfile.dataDisks.lun does not have required value(s) for image specified in storage profile.” Target=“storageProfile” This seems to be a serious issue. We have plenty of VMs that needs to be created from images having data disks. How come nobody looking into this? ---

Hello jan When terraform check the require lun disk value from source image , he can’t find that disk number and that is why this error is giving . Message=“StorageProfile.dataDisks.lun does not have required value(s) for image specified in storage profile.” Target=“storageProfile” If you are use the azure compute gallery or what ever image galley to store the image , then you can pre-visualized the image storage profile as json format and please check whether data disk is already there or not which you are referred on terraform code ex : “osDiskImage”: { “sizeInGB”: 32, “hostCaching”: “ReadWrite”, “source”: {} }, “dataDiskImages”: [ { “lun”: 1, “sizeInGB”: 64, “hostCaching”: “ReadWrite” } ] As a example , assume lun 1 data disk is not in this image and but we are try to refer this disk through the terraform and then above error may be given . I was sorted this issue like that and please try it .
