* Update docs on ebs encrypt_boot to clarify that packer will not override global account settings * Update struct-markdown generator and regenerate partials with new website location. This overwrites some linting that got automatically applied when the files got moved

- `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 "disk".
|
|
|
|
- `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`.
