Hi,

I just started using the latest proxmox ve, terraform-provider-proxmox, and this API as a result. In the proxmox web ui I am able to live migrate a VM from one host to another seamlessly. I don't believe this to be an issue with the terraform-provider-go because I didn't detect a specific shutdown message in the terraform debug output leading me to post here.

The proxmox web ui shows the following log:

()
2021-04-22 01:02:09 starting migration of VM 101 to node 'pve3' (10.1.0.203)

2021-04-22 01:02:17 migration finished successfully (duration 00:00:08)
TASK OK

When I have terraform-provider-go perform that same function this text (which I expected to see) appears. However...

$ terraform apply
proxmox_vm_qemu.le-clone[0]: Refreshing state... [id=pve1/qemu/101]

An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  ~ update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # proxmox_vm_qemu.le-clone[0] will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "proxmox_vm_qemu" "le-clone" {
        id                     = "pve1/qemu/101"
        name                   = "le-clone-0"
      ~ target_node            = "pve1" -> "pve2"
        # (32 unchanged attributes hidden)


        # (2 unchanged blocks hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

Attached is a terraform-provider-go trace log from my vagrant cluster that shows all the HTTP POST/GETs. I can see that the migration is correctly being called with online=1.
api.log

Thank you!
