Description

When executing a plan against virtual machines that lack a SCSI storage controller, but have an NVME storage controller, changes are detected in the scsi_bus_sharing and scsi_type options. Running an apply does not cause any changes to the virtual machines and does not prevent these changes from being detected on future plans.

Affected Resources or Data Sources

Terraform Configuration

Create VM with nvme_controller_count >= 1 and scsi_controller_count = 0. Re-run the plan after applying.
