# import SDC by it's id
terraform import powerflex_sdc.sdc_data "<id>"

# import SDC by multiple id
terraform import powerflex_sdc.sdc_data "<id1>,<id2>,<id3>"

This will import the SDC 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.
