- `library` (string) - Name of the library in which the new library item containing the template should be created/updated.
2020-07-13 06:33:16 -04:00
The Content Library should be of type Local to allow deploying virtual machines.
2020-08-19 07:20:25 -04:00
- `name` (string) - Name of the library item that will be created or updated.
For VM templates, the name of the item should be different from [vm_name](#vm_name) and
the default is [vm_name](#vm_name) + timestamp when not set. VM templates will be always imported to a new library item.
For OVF templates, the name defaults to [vm_name](#vm_name) when not set, and if an item with the same name already
exists it will be then updated with the new OVF template, otherwise a new item will be created.
~> **Note**: It's not possible to update existing library items with a new VM template. If updating an existing library
item is necessary, use an OVF template instead by setting the [ovf](#ovf) option as `true`.

Defaults to "Packer imported [vm_name](#vm_name) VM template".
2020-07-13 06:33:16 -04:00
- `cluster` (string) - Cluster onto which the virtual machine template should be placed.
If cluster and resource_pool are both specified, resource_pool must belong to cluster.
If cluster and host are both specified, host must be a member of cluster.

This option is not used when importing OVF templates.
2020-07-13 06:33:16 -04:00
Defaults to [cluster](#cluster).
- `folder` (string) - Virtual machine folder into which the virtual machine template should be placed.
2020-08-19 07:20:25 -04:00
This option is not used when importing OVF templates.
2020-07-13 06:33:16 -04:00
Defaults to the same folder as the source virtual machine.
- `host` (string) - Host onto which the virtual machine template should be placed.
If host and resource_pool are both specified, resource_pool must belong to host.
If host and cluster are both specified, host must be a member of cluster.

2020-07-13 06:33:16 -04:00
Defaults to [host](#host).
- `resource_pool` (string) - Resource pool into which the virtual machine template should be placed.
Defaults to [resource_pool](#resource_pool). if [resource_pool](#resource_pool) is also unset,
the system will attempt to choose a suitable resource pool for the virtual machine template.
- `datastore` (string) - The datastore for the virtual machine template's configuration and log files.
2020-08-19 07:20:25 -04:00

- `destroy` (bool) - If set to true, the VM will be destroyed after deploying the template to the Content Library.
Defaults to `false`.
- `ovf` (bool) - When set to true, Packer will import and OVF template to the content library item. Defaults to `false`.
