If a user aborts the Elasticsearch, Gateway and/or Telemetry installation during the execution of the below command and then tries to install again, Swarm Cluster Installer displays an error. The execution of /cmd/terraform?params=apply --var-file Elasticsearch.tfvars --var-file common.tfvars -target vsphere_virtual_machine.es_vm --auto-approve&cwd=/opt/dat... command starts at nearly 30-35% installation. This command creates VMs so when installing again, the installer finds these VMs already exist, hence, displays an error.
...
The workaround for not getting this error is:
...
If the user aborts the installation after execution of the above command, there is no need to delete the VMs created and can reinstall the Elasticsearch, Gateway, and Telemetry.
...
If the user tries to install without deleting VMs those that were created before aborting the procedure, Swarm Installer shows displays an error as the installer finds these VMs already exist.
