Terraform

Terraform Provider

vsphere v2.2.0

VMware vSphere

vmware 7.0.3.00700

Description

Dear all,
I have an issue with creating vm with disks formated as thick provision eager zeroed (eagerly_scrub = true).
After 5 minutes terraform created a second task for delete vm. Vm takes 10 minutes to reconfiguration disks.
Terraform still running and if vm was created, vm is deleted and terraform show error:

Error: Error reconfiguring virtual machine: error reconfiguring virtual machine: Post "https://xxx/sdk": context deadline exceeded

I found issue #1134 and configured api_timeout = 30, but I have same issue.

I am using terraform for windows and vsphere v2.2.0.
