|
||
|
||
- `cpus` (int) - The number of cpus to use when building the VM.
|
||
|
||
- `memory` (int) - The amount of memory to use when building the VM in megabytes.
|
||
|
||
- `cores` (int) - The number of cores per socket to use when building the VM. This
|
||
corresponds to the cpuid.coresPerSocket option in the .vmx file.
|
||
|
||
- `network` (string) - This is the network type that the virtual machine will be created with.
|
||
This can be one of the generic values that map to a device such as
|
||
hostonly, nat, or bridged. If the network is not one of these values,
|
||
then it is assumed to be a VMware network device. (VMnet0..x)
|
||
|
||
- `network_adapter_type` (string) - This is the ethernet adapter type the the virtual machine will be
|
||
created with. By default the `e1000` network adapter type will be used
|
||
by Packer. For more information, please consult [Choosing a network
|
||
adapter for your virtual
|
||
machine](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1001805) for desktop VMware
|
||
clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi documentation.
|
||
|
||
- `sound` (bool) - Specify whether to enable VMware's virtual soundcard device when
|
||
building the VM. Defaults to false.
|
||
|
||
- `usb` (bool) - Enable VMware's USB bus when building the guest VM. Defaults to false.
|
||
To enable usage of the XHCI bus for USB 3 (5 Gbit/s), one can use the
|
||
vmx_data option to enable it by specifying true for the usb_xhci.present
|
||
property.
|
||
|
||
- `serial` (string) - This specifies a serial port to add to the VM. It has a format of
|
||
`Type:option1,option2,...`. The field `Type` can be one of the following
|
||
values: `FILE`, `DEVICE`, `PIPE`, `AUTO`, or `NONE`.
|
||
|
||
- `FILE:path(,yield)` - Specifies the path to the local file to be used
|
||
as the serial port.
|
||
|
||
- `yield` (bool) - This is an optional boolean that specifies
|
||
whether the vm should yield the cpu when polling the port. By
|
||
default, the builder will assume this as `FALSE`.
|
||
|
||
- `DEVICE:path(,yield)` - Specifies the path to the local device to be
|
||
used as the serial port. If `path` is empty, then default to the first
|
||
serial port.
|
||
|
||
* `yield` (bool) - This is an optional boolean that specifies
|
||
whether the vm should yield the cpu when polling the port. By
|
||
default, the builder will assume this as `FALSE`.
|
||
|
||
- `PIPE:path,endpoint,host(,yield)` - Specifies to use the named-pipe
|
||
"path" as a serial port. This has a few options that determine how the
|
||
VM should use the named-pipe.
|
||
|
||
- `endpoint` (string) - Chooses the type of the VM-end, which can be
|
||
either a `client` or `server`.
|
||
|
||
- `host` (string) - Chooses the type of the host-end, which can
|
||
be either `app` (application) or `vm` (another virtual-machine).
|
||
|
||
- `yield` (bool) - This is an optional boolean that specifies
|
||
whether the vm should yield the cpu when polling the port. By
|
||
default, the builder will assume this as `FALSE`.
|
||
|
||
- `AUTO:(yield)` - Specifies to use auto-detection to determine the
|
||
serial port to use. This has one option to determine how the VM should
|
||
support the serial port.
|
||
|
||
- `yield` (bool) - This is an optional boolean that specifies
|
||
whether the vm should yield the cpu when polling the port. By
|
||
default, the builder will assume this as `FALSE`.
|
||
|
||
- `NONE` - Specifies to not use a serial port. (default)
|
||
|
||
- `parallel` (string) - This specifies a parallel port to add to the VM. It has the format of
|
||
`Type:option1,option2,...`. Type can be one of the following values:
|
||
`FILE`, `DEVICE`, `AUTO`, or `NONE`.
|
||
|
||
- `FILE:path` - Specifies the path to the local file to be used
|
||
for the parallel port.
|
||
|
||
- `DEVICE:path` - Specifies the path to the local device to be used
|
||
for the parallel port.
|
||
|
||
- `AUTO:direction` - Specifies to use auto-detection to determine the
|
||
parallel port. Direction can be `BI` to specify bidirectional
|
||
communication or `UNI` to specify unidirectional communication.
|
||
|
||
- `NONE` - Specifies to not use a parallel port. (default)
