Terraform

v1.6.6

Terraform Provider

v2.7.0

VMware vSphere

v7.0.3.01700

Description

Upgrading to terraform-provider-vsphere v2.7.0 introduced a breaking bug for vsphere_virtual_disks created with older versions.

This happens as the vmdk_path variable is now correctly set after this fix: #1762

I tried changing the vmdk_path to match the actual old value from vsphere but it doesn't work, and it shouldn't work if I understand the code change correctly. What would be the proper steps to be able to upgrade to latest provider version?

Same for me:

Terraform
v1.7.2

Terraform Provider
v2.7.0

VMware vSphere
v8.0.1.00000

When changed vsphere provider version to 2.2.0 or even 2.6.1 it worked

We've picked up govmomi 0.37.1

Can confirm it works, we successfully updated to v2.8.1 without any problems!
