Affected Resource(s)

• vsphere_virtual_machine

Terraform Configuration Files

data "vsphere_network" "net1" {
  name          = "somenetwork"
  datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id
}

data "vsphere_network" "net2" {
  name          = "somothernetwork"
  datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id
}

Then in the vsphere_virtual_machine section

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm" {

 network_interface {
    network_id = data.vsphere_network.net1.id
    adapter_type = "vmxnet3"
  }

  network_interface {
    network_id = data.vsphere_network.net2.id
    adapter_type = "vmxnet3"
  }

And in customization

network_interface {
  ipv4_address = "192.168.102.87"
  ipv4_netmask = 24
  dns_domain = var.dns_domain
  dns_server_list = var.dns_server_list
}

network_interface {
  ipv4_address = "10.3.1.19"
  ipv4_netmask = 24
}

Id have expected that two nics get created with the attributes in the config.

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

Important Factoids

Im not sure if this is important but this is getting deployed from a content library ovf, The ovf this is being pulled rom only has 1 nic, and I suspect thats what Im running into. Im unsure how to resolve it.

Based on the debug output the source is an OVF from the content library.

Does the originating OVF Template have two NICs? If note, per the VMware vSphere product documentation, which compares the use of VM Templates vs OVF Templates in Content Library:

"During the deployment of an OVF template, only guest OS customization is supported. Hardware customization is not supported."
