Terraform Version

Terraform v1.5.0

DCNM version

• V 12.1.2e

Affected Resource(s)

• dcnm_network
• dcnm_vrf
  likely other resources too.

Debug Output

Example output:

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

╷
│ Error: 400 Error : "Invalid VRF"
│ 
│   with module.vrfs_msd.dcnm_vrf.vrfs["VCF1"],
│   on ../modules/vrfs/main.tf line 18, in resource "dcnm_vrf" "vrfs":
│   18: resource "dcnm_vrf" "vrfs" {

Expected Behavior

Upon the object not existing, and an invalid being returned by the read function, terraform should remove the object from its state and attempt a recreate.

Behavior

Process is removing a resource that is part of Terraform state, (such as network or VRF) from NDFC and re-running terraform plan or terraform apply

Important Factoids

This is likely the reason the plan errors out:

terraform-provider-dcnm/dcnm/resource_dcnm_network.go

Line 1170 in d0ff6c3

cont, err := getRemoteNetwork(dcnmClient, fabricName, dn)

We might need a function similar to the one in the ACI provider to handle errors:
