Live Migration error: retrieving VM 100: the requested resource does not exist

[willifehler]

Hey there,

if I manually migrate a VM to a different Proxmox host within my Cluster I do receive an error if I run OpenTofu again.

╷
│ Error: error retrieving VM 100: the requested resource does not exist
│
│   with proxmox_virtual_environment_vm.vm["testserver01"],
│   on proxmox_vm.tf line 5, in resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_vm" "vm":
│    5: resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_vm" "vm" {
│
╵

The Live Migration to the previous host seems to be completed fine and afterwards OpenTofu is showing no errors.

Is this error expected?

Cheers - Willi

Hey @willifehler 👋🏼

Could you post your tofu output after the first and then second run?

[willifehler]

Sure @bpg. Thank you so much for your support. I will cut the output of OpenTofu, there are also Ansible resource changes which I skip here.

After the migration is finished tofu plan isn't showing anything which is related to the VM. (100)

Hey @willifehler, it looks like you didn't use the migrate attribute. Could you please try that and report back?

I've also done some tests for VM migration in another ticket, and it worked for me.
