- `disk_additional_size` ([]uint) - The size(s) of any additional
  hard disks for the VM in megabytes. If this is not specified then the VM
  will only contain a primary hard disk. 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.

- `disk_adapter_type` (string) - The adapter type of the VMware virtual disk to create. This option is
  for advanced usage, modify only if you know what you're doing. Some of
  the options you can specify are `ide`, `sata`, `nvme` or `scsi` (which
  uses the "lsilogic" scsi interface by default). If you specify another
  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
  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.
