-- Basically I'm using the vsphere post-processor to upload the template to
a remote destination, and then using a shell-local post-processor that
converts the VM to a template on the remote destination
-- I'm doing this copy/convert to 4 different locations at this time
-- They all run successfully, but serially such that it waits until the
task is done before moving on to the next one ... and depending on the
remote destination, it can take hours to complete
-- The documentation talks about a 'sequence definition' that puts an
additional set of brackets around tasks in the post-processors section, but
doesn't indicate if that means parallel or not. Also a previous post noted
a user using these additional brackets to attempt running tasks in
parallel, but it still didn't work that way ... and the reply was to remove
them, which I'm doing and that doesn't seem to work either.
Code below (cleaned up for easier reading / security reasons) ...
