Hello All,
I'm trying to get my feet wet with using packer for template management in
my vSphere environment. I've started with a simple case following this
blog (
https://theithollow.com/2017/03/06/using-packer-create-vsphere-aws-images/ )
and adjusting based on other examples I've found online.
Using VMware workstation (trying both windows and linux as a host) on my
local VM, I've attempted to use either the vmware-iso or vmware-vmx
builders to create a VM within Workstation and then use the vsphere
post-provisioner to distribute to my vsphere environment. While the
builders and provisioner seem to work flawlessly, the vsphere
post-provisioner keeps erroring out with "Script disconnected unexpectedly"
and deleting the working directory.
ovftool is in the $PATH
Is there something I'm missing? Is there some other method or plugin that
I need here?
Example of my json:
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "vmware-vmx",
"source_path":
"/root/Downloads/output-vmware-iso/test-centos.vmx",
"ssh_username": "vagrant",
"ssh_password": "vagrant",
"ssh_wait_timeout": "10000s",
"shutdown_command": "echo 'shutdown -P now' > shutdown.sh; echo
'vagrant' | sudo -S sh 'shutdown.sh'"
}],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell",
"inline":
[
"sleep 30",
"sudo yum -y update ",
"sudo yum -y install git",
"sudo touch ~/I_DID_MORE_THINGS",
"sudo shutdown -h now"
]
}],
"post-processors": [
{
"type": "vsphere",
"host": "vCenter-hostname",
"username": "vCenter-user",
"password": "vCenter-password",
"cluster": "CLUSTERNAME",
"datacenter": "DATACENTERNAME",
"resource_pool": "RPNAME",
"datastore": "DATASTORENAME",
"vm_folder": "FOLDER",
"vm_name": "test1",
"vm_network": "PORTGROUP",
"disk_mode": "thin",
"insecure": "true"
}
]
}
