Hello team,
Since 18 hours all DCs are failing to create an instance.

Please treat this as high priority and fix it in PROD . it has affected all DCs

i am getting the below error for instance creation

jira has been opened internally too : https://jsw.ibm.com/browse/POWERIAAS-10858

@rachari
Can some from powervm team look into this

[surajsbharadwaj]

Few information from Rene:
1.It might be a create in Terraform but under the covers a PUT operation could be made to the VM somewhere during that create
2. I would guess a hot fix to address that new check in the code.
3. I am not that familiar with that new code but it looks like some code is placed in the wrong place or has wrong logic

Got some information from Laurent Dufour:
Description:cloudInitialisation is not supported in this environment Error:bad request Message" Sounds that cloudInitialisation option is passed to the PVM modify command. That's surprising since this option is flagged as internal. I'll double check the code to see if this message could be raised unexpectedly.

he is preparing a fix

We are pushing a fix for this internally — This not terraform related issue but power related.
It should be resolved soon. I will update once it is pushed.

@surajsbharadwaj The fix was pushed. Could you please double check?

[surajsbharadwaj]

I can confirm it is working. Thank you. Closing this issue
