Hi,
I'm building a vm with packer and vmware-iso on a second esxi node. This
node is not connected to the vsphere-cluster where the vm should be
published.
Copying the image to the cluster with vmware-iso works but vsphere-template
fails with an error:
vmware-iso (vsphere): Completed successfully
vmware-iso (vsphere):
==> vmware-iso: Running post-processor: vsphere-template
vmware-iso (vsphere-template): Waiting 10s for VMware vSphere to start
vmware-iso (vsphere-template): Choosing datacenter...
vmware-iso (vsphere-template): Creating or checking destination folders
...
vmware-iso (vsphere-template): Marking as a template...
==> vmware-iso (vsphere-template): VM at path /DC02/vm/Discovered virtual
machine/centos7_1711 not found
I dont know how packer assembles this path.
My json looks like this:

Packer version is 1.1.2.
Does anybody have a working .json on this setup?
