Some platforms with incomplete XHCI implementations (i.e. FreeBSD)
will poll the bus despite there being no usb devices available.
This disables XHCI by default and documents how to enable it using
the vmx_data option.
This closes issue #5961.
The ESX5 driver doesn't have a way of mapping the network name to its device name because a .vmx template uses different field names for it and so packer let's ESX handle filling this in. This patch will check to see if the driver that packer determines is missing a NetworkMapper implementation (by checking for nil). If it is, then fall back to using "nat" despite ESX not using the network type at all. This is what packer did prior to exposing the network type to the user back in version 1.1.3.
This closes issue #5916.
arizvisa: Updated icnocop's documentation to include the possible disk adapter types that one can specify.
arizvisa: Tweaked icnocop's support for the `disk_adapter_type` option to the VMWare builder that caused conflicts due to version skew.
icnocop: Updated links to the Virtual Disk Manager User's Guide PDF to open in a new window and also added the Adobe PDF icon
icnocop: Added support for vmware to specify the disk adapter type, ide or scsi (lsilogic or buslogic)
Included the yield option to all the serial port types.
Added the ability for the network type to fallback to a custom network if the
specified network name is not found in netmap.conf.
Promoted the scope for both Read{Dhcp,Netmap}Config inside vmwcommon.driver.
Updated the documentation for the VMware builder.
builder/vmware/{iso,vmx}:
Added the specific configuration options that get parsed.
Normalize paths when pulling them from the json template so that they'll work on Windows too.
Added some improved error checking when parsing these options.
Stash the vm's network connection type so that other steps can figure out addressing information
Modified the esx5 driver to support the new addressing logic.
Modified the template in step_create_vmx to include the new options.
builder/vmware/common:
Implemented a parser for vmware's configuration files to the vmware builder.
Modified the driver's interface to include support for resolving both guest/host hw and ip addresses
Implemented a base structure with some methods that implement these features.
Rewrote all ip and mac address dependent code to utilize these new methods.
Removed host_ip and guest_ip due to their logic being moved directly into a
base-structure used by each driver. The code was explicitly checking runtime.GOOS
instead of portably using net.Interfaces() anyways.
Updated driver_mock to support the new addressing methods
Run now takes a context as well as a statebag. We'll assign the context
to the blank identifier to prevent namespace collisions. We'll let the
step authors opt-in to using the context.
`find . -iname "step_*.go" -exec gsed -i'' 's/func \(.*\)Run(/func \1Run(_ context.Context, /' {} \;`
