Ali Rizvi-Santiago df6cdcc7f7 Disable the usage of the XHCI bus for USB on the vmware-iso builder.
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.

Ali Rizvi-Santiago eb0445ca96 Added support for specifying both the network adapter type and cdrom adapter type as requested by @night199uk. Also included the respective documentation for these new options. 2018-02-02 19:18:50 -06:00
Ali Rizvi-Santiago 74946071d2 Added support for specifying the disk adapter type to the vmware builders. This was squashed from the vmware-diskAdapterType branch (#2968) as submitted by Rami Abughazaleh <icnocop@users.noreply.github.com>. This closes #5671 and possibly #4885.
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)

Ali Rizvi-Santiago 0d6cf7fac4 Added support for auto-detection to the serial and parallel port types.
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.

Improve vmware-iso disk_type_id documentation
Referring to the vmware documentation might be more "correct", but having the options listed will make the available options much clearer.

Georg ca8805efe2 Update documentation to avoid confusion
disk_type_id defaults to different values in local build and remote build.
Documentation should reflect to what value the remote build defaults.

James Nugent c4439aba82 builder/vmware: Add vmx_remove_ethernet_interfaces
This commit adds a new option, `vmx_remove_ethernet_interfaces`, to both
of the VMWare builders. This is useful when building Vagrant boxes,
since Vagrant now produces output such as:

```
WARNING: The VMX file for this box contains a setting that is
automatically overwritten by Vagrant when started. Vagrant will stop
overwriting this setting in an upcoming release which may pre vent
proper networking setup. Below is the detected VMX setting:

   ethernet0.pcislotnumber = "33"

If networking fails to properly configure, it may require this VMX
setting. It can be manually applied via the Vagrantfile:

   Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
     config.vm.provider :vmware_fusion do |vmware|
       vmware.vmx["ethernet0.pcislotnumber"] = "33"
     end
   end
```

This can be avoided entirely by removing the ethernet adapters from the
VMX file prior to packaging as a Vagrant box, in which case adapters are
created as expected according to the Vagrantfile specification.

Mikhail Zholobov 57d07f227a
Add "iso_target_extension" option for all local *-iso builders
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
