Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aci_fabric_node_member" "fabricNodes" {

}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

Upon destruction of the resource, the aci node should be removed from the fabric inventory.

Actual Behavior

A terraform apply reports the destruction of the resource, and the resource gets removed from the terraform state. However, the fabric node member is not removed from the fabric inventory.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform plan
2. terraform apply

Important Factoids

The proper API call to remove the node from inventory is:
https://<IP>/api/node/mo/uni/fabric/outofsvc.json

With body (example):

{
 "fabricRsDecommissionNode": {
   "attributes": {
     "tDn": "topology/pod-1/node-1136",
     "status": "created,modified",
     "removeFromController": "true"
   }
 }
}

Just a comment regarding use of aci_fabric_node_member. When one switch needed to be replaced we got into trouble as Terraform wanted to remove the old switch, which did no longer exist. After this we changed to use serial number as key instead of hostname. The next time we had to replace a switch we had no problems, just imported the new switch into state after adding it to the fabric using the gui.
