VM datadisk not being initialize when VM is created

Terraform Providers Azure
1

Hi

I’m new to the Terraform azure provider and is having an issue when creating windows VM with data disks.
After creating and attaching the disks i need to log on to the VM and run disk manager to initialize and create drives.

Is there a way to do this automatically?

This is an example snippet of the main.tf file:

resource "azurerm_managed_disk" "example" {
  name                 = "example-disc1"
  location             = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  resource_group_name  = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  storage_account_type = "Standard_LRS"
  disk_size_gb         = 64
  create_option        = "Empty"
}

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine_data_disk_attachment" "example" {
  managed_disk_id    = azurerm_managed_disk.example.id
  virtual_machine_id = azurerm_windows_virtual_machine.example.id
  lun                = "0"
  caching            = "ReadWrite"
  create_option      = "Attach"
}


resource "azurerm_windows_virtual_machine" "example" {
  name                = "example-machine"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  size                = "Standard_D2s_v3"
  admin_username      = "adminuser"
  admin_password      = "P@$$w0rd1234!"
  network_interface_ids = [
    azurerm_network_interface.example.id,
  ]

  os_disk {
    caching              = "ReadWrite"
    storage_account_type = "Standard_LRS"
  }

  source_image_reference {
    publisher = "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
    offer     = "WindowsServer"
    sku       = "2019-Datacenter"
    version   = "latest"
  }
}
