Description

We would like to change disk configuration on VMs: decrease disk size and switch from thin to thick.
Terraform destroy perform plan first which errors for both cases.

https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-vsphere/blob/main/vsphere/internal/virtualdevice/virtual_machine_disk_subresource.go#L1461-L1476

Since our intention is not to change the resource but rather to destroy+deploy new one, is there any solution to perform this?

Affected Resources or Data Sources

resource/vsphere_virtual_machine

Terraform Configuration

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm" {
--snip--

  disk {
    label            = "disk0"
    size             = "64"
    unit_number      = "0"
    eagerly_scrub    = false
    thin_provisioned = true
  }
}

Change is size and thin_provisioned = false

Debug Output

Error: disk.0: virtual disk "disk0": cannot change the value of "thin_provisioned" - (old: true new: false)

Error: disk.0: virtual disk "disk0": virtual disks cannot be shrunk (old: 64 new: 60)
