option, Packer will assume that you're specifying a `scsi` interface of
that specified type. For more information, please consult [Virtual Disk
Manager User's Guide](http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf)
for desktop VMware clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi
documentation.
- `vmdk_name` (string) - The filename of the virtual disk that'll be created,
without the extension. This defaults to packer.
- `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).
- `disk_type_id` (string) - The type of VMware virtual disk to create. This
option is for advanced usage.
For desktop VMware clients:
Type ID | Description
------- | ---
`0` | Growable virtual disk contained in a single file (monolithic sparse).
`1` | Growable virtual disk split into 2GB files (split sparse).
`2` | Preallocated virtual disk contained in a single file (monolithic flat).
`3` | Preallocated virtual disk split into 2GB files (split flat).
`4` | Preallocated virtual disk compatible with ESX server (VMFS flat).
`5` | Compressed disk optimized for streaming.
The default is `1`.
For ESXi, this defaults to `zeroedthick`. The available options for ESXi
are: `zeroedthick`, `eagerzeroedthick`, `thin`. `rdm:dev`, `rdmp:dev`,
`2gbsparse` are not supported. Due to default disk compaction, when using
`zeroedthick` or `eagerzeroedthick` set `skip_compaction` to `true`.
For more information, please consult the [Virtual Disk Manager User's
Guide](https://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf) for desktop
VMware clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi documentation.
- `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
