|
|
- `disk_size` (uint) - The size of the hard disk for the VM in megabytes.
|
|
|
|
|
The builder uses expandable, not fixed-size virtual hard disks, so the
|
|
|
|
|
actual file representing the disk will not use the full size unless it
|
|
|
|
|
is full. By default this is set to 40000 (about 40 GB).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `cdrom_adapter_type` (string) - The adapter type (or bus) that will be used
|
|
|
|
|
by the cdrom device. This is chosen by default based on the disk adapter
|
|
|
|
|
type. VMware tends to lean towards ide for the cdrom device unless
|
|
|
|
|
sata is chosen for the disk adapter and so Packer attempts to mirror
|
|
|
|
|
this logic. This field can be specified as either ide, sata, or scsi.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `guest_os_type` (string) - The guest OS type being installed. This will be
|
|
|
|
|
set in the VMware VMX. By default this is other. By specifying a more
|
|
|
|
|
specific OS type, VMware may perform some optimizations or virtual hardware
|
|
|
|
|
changes to better support the operating system running in the
|
|
|
|
|
virtual machine. Valid values differ by platform and version numbers, and may
|
|
|
|
|
not match other VMware API's representation of the guest OS names. Consult your
|
|
|
|
|
platform for valid values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `version` (string) - The [vmx hardware
|
|
|
|
|
version](http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003746)
|
|
|
|
|
for the new virtual machine. Only the default value has been tested, any
|
|
|
|
|
other value is experimental. Default value is `9`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the VMX file for the new virtual
|
|
|
|
|
machine, without the file extension. By default this is packer-BUILDNAME,
|
|
|
|
|
where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `vmx_disk_template_path` (string) - VMX Disk Template Path
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `vmx_template_path` (string) - Path to a [configuration template](/docs/templates/engine) that
|
|
|
|
|
defines the contents of the virtual machine VMX file for VMware. The
|
|
|
|
|
engine has access to the template variables `{{ .DiskNumber }}` and
|
|
|
|
|
`{{ .DiskName }}`.

This is for **advanced users only** as this can render the virtual machine
|
|
|
|
|
non-functional. See below for more information. For basic VMX
|
|
|
|
|
modifications, try `vmx_data` first.
