I'm sure I have done it in the past but I can't seem to get it to work now.

If you import the volume, then edit the generated code before running

up

or

preview

, will it work?

Damn it... I tried that, and it worked without the size or snapshot id somehow but now refresh fails with:

error: unexpected duplicate resource 'urn:pulumi:prod::tlayen::pulumi:providers:aws::default'

Hmm.. maybe the default provider changed? I'm always wary of the default provider, I find it changes at the most inconvenient times...

As far as I know I'm not using the default anywhere. It is in my state when I export it though.

The imported resource will be using the default, unless you've edited the code...

I forgot the provider at first but the second time I added it the JSON but I still get the same problem. I don't actually know what the JSON should look like.

Yep, seems like the import JSON causes a lot of problems. I haven't used it yet, I've only imported individual resources and skipped the json step...

I'll chalk that up to user error with advanced feature. Thanks anyway simple smile

Hi @worried-queen-62794 could you share how you do import volume? I have similar issue where volume import does not work.

Hi @broad-hairdresser-1495. It's tricky. You have to do

pulumi stack export

, then add something like:

{
                "urn": "urn:pulumi:test::mystack::aws:ebs/volume:Volume::MyVolume",
                "custom": true,
                "id": "vol-abc123",
                "type": "aws:ebs/volume:Volume",
                "inputs": {
                    "__defaults": [],
                    "availabilityZone": "ap-southeast-2a",
                    "size": 5,
                    "tags": {
                        "Name": "MyVolume",
                        "__defaults": []
                    },
                    "type": "gp2"
                },
             }

then

pulumi stack import

bkp = aws.ebs.Volume('msops-test-volume-bkp',
    availability_zone='eu-north-1a',
    size=500,
    opts=ResourceOptions(import_='vol-080446c9.........'))

this is also possible to import volume, but you need to include size.
