Infoblox IPAM Plug-In Version 2.6.0 for Terraform is a major release currently available in the Terraform portal. If you are upgrading from a prior version of the plug-in to version 2.6.0, consider the following key points:

• Before performing an upgrade:

  • If you are upgrading to 2.6.0, ensure that there is no drift state in Terraform.

  • If you are upgrading from version 1.1.1 to 2.6.0, upgrade to a 2.x.x version that is prior to 2.6.0, and then upgrade to 2.6.0

  • If you are upgrading from version 1.1.1 to 2.2.0, remove the terraform.tfstate file and use the import functionality to import the existing objects from NIOS to Terraform.

  • If you are upgrading from version 1.1.1 to 2.1.0, run the terraform destroy command to clean up the resources created through Terraform.

• After upgrading the plug-in to version 2.6.0: 

  • After you upgrade the plug-in to version 2.6.0, run the terraform apply command to update all resources with Terraform Internal ID. For more information on Terraform Internal ID, see Management of Plug-In Operations with Terraform Internal ID.

  • If you have large number of resources in the .tfstate file, the first terraform apply operation executed after you upgrade the plug-in to version 2.6.0, may take a long time as the plug-in has to assign the Terraform Internal ID extensible attribute to all resources in the .tfstate file. To update specific resources in Terraform use the -target option with terraform apply as follows:
    Syntax: terraform apply -target=<resource_type>.<resource_name>
    Example: terraform apply -target=infoblox_a_record.arec
    For more information about -target, refer to Resource Targeting.
