Import

Import is supported using the following syntax:

# The synatx is:
# terraform import redfish_virtual_media.media "{\"id\":\"<odata id of the virtual media>\",\"username\":\"<username>\",\"password\":\"<password>\",\"endpoint\":\"<endpoint>\",\"ssl_insecure\":<true/false>}"

terraform import redfish_virtual_media.media '{"id":"/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/CD","username":"admin","password":"passw0rd","endpoint":"https://my-server-1.myawesomecompany.org","ssl_insecure":true}'


# terraform import with redfish_alias. When using redfish_alias, provider's `redfish_servers` is required.
# redfish_alias is used to align with enhancements to password management.
terraform import redfish_virtual_media.media '{"id":"/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/CD","redfish_alias":"<redfish_alias>"}'

This will import the virtual media instance with specified ID into your Terraform state.
After successful import, you can run terraform state list to ensure the resource has been imported successfully.
Now, you can fill in the resource block with the appropriate arguments and settings that match the imported resource’s real-world configuration.
Execute terraform plan to see if your configuration and the imported resource are in sync. Make adjustments if needed.
Finally, execute terraform apply to bring the resource fully under Terraform’s management.
Now, the resource which was not part of terraform became part of Terraform managed infrastructure.
