Terraform: count on azure_data_disk

[isamuelson]

Hi,

would appreciate adding support for creating an array of data disks on azure.

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azure/r/data_disk.html

Hi @isamuelson

I am looking into this now - give me a little bit of time to investigate

Thanks

@stack72 thanks!

Hi @isamuelson

So when looking at this, it isn't actually possible to specify more than 1 data_disk on a VM in Azure. The API returns this error:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "OperationNotAllowed",
        "target": "dataDisks",
        "message": "The maximum number of data disks allowed to be attached to a VM is 1."
    }
}

I have submitted a PR that will only allow 1 data_disk to be specified going forward to keep with the API restraints

His is bizarre....

According to docs DS2 can have 4 data disks...we actually have that
working...

Checking a DS2 machine now to see... 2 mins

@isamuelson apologies for the false alarm here - this was because of the machine type I was using :)

ok, so there are different things happening here:

1. The link you gave in the original issue was a link to the Azure Service Manager Data_disk resource. Azure Resource Manager has no such idea.
2. To use data disks in ARM, you need to specify something like this:

storage_data_disk {
        name                    = "mydatadisk1"
        vhd_uri       = "${azurerm_storage_account.test.primary_blob_endpoint}${azurerm_storage_container.test.name}/mydatadisk1.vhd"
    disk_size_gb  = "1023"
    create_option = "Empty"
    lun                     = 0
  }

1. You can specify multiple config blocks to add multiple data disks:

storage_data_disk {
        name                    = "mydatadisk2"
        vhd_uri       = "${azurerm_storage_account.test.primary_blob_endpoint}${azurerm_storage_container.test.name}/mydatadisk2.vhd"
    disk_size_gb  = "1023"
    create_option = "empty"
    lun                     = 0
  }

  storage_data_disk {
        name                    = "mydatadisk3"
        vhd_uri       = "${azurerm_storage_account.test.primary_blob_endpoint}${azurerm_storage_container.test.name}/mydatadisk3.vhd"
    disk_size_gb  = "1023"
    create_option = "empty"
    lun                     = 0
  }

  storage_data_disk {
        name                    = "mydatadisk4"
        vhd_uri       = "${azurerm_storage_account.test.primary_blob_endpoint}${azurerm_storage_container.test.name}/mydatadisk4.vhd"
    disk_size_gb  = "1023"
    create_option = "empty"
    lun                     = 0
  }

All within the same VM

Hope this helps?

yes I know that....though this issue/request is to support count

storage_data_disk {
count = 4
name = "mydatadisk${count.index)"
vhd_uri = "${azurerm_storage_account.test.primary_blob_endpoint}${azurerm_storage_container.test.name}/mydatadisk$(cound.index).vhd"
disk_size_gb = "1023"
create_option = "empty"
lun = 0
}

@isamuelson this has been requested as a general addition to the schema in #7034

I am going to close this request and then let the tracking for the schema change happen there
