Greetings all!
I am trying to import a vsphere_host into Terraform from my on-prem environment. However I cannot seem to accomplish this.
I have created the resource as follows:
[code=hcl2]
resource “vsphere_host” “supervisor-1” {
hostname = “supervisor-1”
username = “{var.username}"
password = "{var.password}”
datacenter = data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id
[\code]
I attempted the following to import the vsphere_host:
[code]
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/HostSystem-host-4424
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/host/HostSystem-host-4424
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/host/mycluster/HostSystem-host-4424
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/supervisor-1
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/host/supervisor-1
terraform import module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1 /MyDatacenter/host/mycluster/supervisor-1
[\code]
I initially tried using the vmhostID and when that did not work I tried using vmhost name.
In all cases I got the following error:
[code]
module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1: Importing from ID “/MyDatacenter/host/MyCluster/HostSystem-host-4424”…
module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1: Import prepared!
Prepared vsphere_host for import
module.hosts.vsphere_host.supervisor-1: Refreshing state… [id=/MyDatacenter/host/MyCluster/HostSystem-host-4424]
╷

Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
