Description

Using vsphere_host_pci_device data source, unable to get ID of the second device when there is a situation where there are 2 PCI devices on the same host which share same vendor, name, model.

For example, I have an esxi host which has 2 GPU cards from the same vendor, and are the same.

ID: 0000:D8:00.0

NAME: NVIDIA Corporation
GA100 [A100 PCIe 40GB]

and

ID: 0000:3B:00.0

NAME: NVIDIA Corporation
GA100 [A100 PCIe 40GB]

Now, if i want to get the ID of these devices, ill need to use code below.

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "vsphere_datacenter" "dc" {
  name = "DC"
}

data "vsphere_host" "esxi1" {
  name          = "esx1.domain.local"
  datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id
}

data "vsphere_host_pci_device" "esxi1_gpu" {
  host_id = data.vsphere_host.esxi1.id
  name_regex = "GA100"
}

Here im using name_regex to find a matching device, problem is, this returns only a single ID of the first match. Its impossible to get the ID of the second GPU.
Same happens when trying to filter using vendor_id or class_id

When I run the above code, and use output to see output:

output "device_details" {
  value = data.vsphere_host_pci_device.esx1-gpu2
}

this is the result:

Changes to Outputs:
  + device_details = {
      + class_id   = "302"
      + host_id    = "host-1006"
      + id         = "0000:3b:00.0"
      + name       = "GA100 [A100 PCIe 40GB]"
      + name_regex = "GA100"
      + vendor_id  = "10de"
    }

Only the first GPU is "reachable"
