Format string `mapstructure:"format" required:"false"` // Extra options to pass to ovftool during export. Each item in the array // is a new argument. The options `--noSSLVerify`, `--skipManifestCheck`, // and `--targetType` are used by Packer for remote exports, and should not // be passed to this argument. For ovf/ova exports from local builds, Packer // does not automatically set any ovftool options. OVFToolOptions []string `mapstructure:"ovftool_options" required:"false"` // Defaults to `false`. When true, Packer will not export the VM. This can // be useful if the build output is not the resultant image, but created // inside the VM. SkipExport bool `mapstructure:"skip_export" required:"false"` // Set this to true if you would like to keep a remotely-built // VM registered with the remote ESXi server. If you do not need to export // the vm, then also set `skip_export: true` in order to avoid unnecessarily // using ovftool to export the vm. Defaults to false. KeepRegistered bool `mapstructure:"keep_registered" required:"false"` // VMware-created disks are defragmented and // compacted at the end of the build process using vmware-vdiskmanager or // vmkfstools in ESXi. In certain rare cases, this might actually end up // making the resulting disks slightly larger. If you find this to be the case, // you can disable compaction using this configuration value.
