I think all of them have in theory, I run all three (VirtualBox, Parallels Pro, and VMware Fusion). I have seen this problem but only on occasion when my mac is under load from something else and I run three concurrent packer builds at the same time (which most of the time is fine on my MacBook Pro late 2013, i7). IMHO If you don't have any other reason than the repeated key problem ( https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/2855) on VirtualBox I would start by investigating what's the cause of the high load. // Rickard On 9 December 2017 at 22:11, Gabo Kete <[email protected]> wrote: > HI David > > I do have within Vmware Fusion a VM running Vmware ESXi 6, I gave the vm 4 > cores ( minimum to run Vmware ESXi ) and 4-8 GB of mem but if you more > available you can afford, I'd recommend to assign more so you have more > flexibility when you create your our VMs within the ESXi . > > You can download the VMWare ESXi 6.5 from the link below.. is a trial > version but still will do it to give it a try.. > > https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup= > VC650B&productId=614&rPId=15335#product_downloads > > Give it a try and let us know how it goes..
