Terraform在vCloud Director 3.3.1版本中iniscript功能无法使用，寻求替代选项名称

Hey there, I’ve dealt with this exact deprecation issue when working with the vCloud Director Terraform provider v3.3.1, so I can help you out!

The Short Answer #

The iniscript option was fully removed in v3.3.1, and its direct replacement is the script property inside the guest_customization block within your vcd_vm resource.

Example: Before vs. After #

Here’s how your old configuration using iniscript would look:

resource "vcd_vm" "my_vm" {
  name             = "test-vm"
  vdc              = "my-vdc"
  catalog_name     = "my-catalog"
  template_name    = "ubuntu-22.04"
  memory           = 4096
  cpu_count        = 2

  # Old deprecated iniscript
  iniscript = <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
apt update && apt install -y nginx
systemctl start nginx
EOF
}

And here’s the updated, supported configuration using the replacement option:

resource "vcd_vm" "my_vm" {
  name             = "test-vm"
  vdc              = "my-vdc"
  catalog_name     = "my-catalog"
  template_name    = "ubuntu-22.04"
  memory           = 4096
  cpu_count        = 2

  # New guest_customization block with script
  guest_customization {
    enabled = true # This is required for the script to run
    script  = <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
apt update && apt install -y nginx
systemctl start nginx
EOF
  }
}

Key Notes #

• Make sure to set enabled = true in the guest_customization block—without this, your script won’t execute at all.
• This works for both Linux (bash scripts) and Windows (PowerShell/Batch scripts) VMs; just adjust the script content to match the guest OS.
• The deprecation of iniscript started in earlier provider versions (around v3.0.0), but it was fully removed in v3.3.1, so you’ll see errors if you keep using the old parameter.
