Hi,

Here are the plugin list 

vagrant-share (1.1.9, system)
vagrant-vmware-esxi (1.1.7)
vagrant-vmware-workstation (5.0.4)
vagrant-vsphere (1.13.2)

Yes I have vmware_workstation on my build machine, but I want to deploy on 
a remote machine esxi and have a static IP assigned on eth1. To do that I 
need to specify a customization_spec_name,. This option seems to be 
supported for provider vsphere only. I tried esxi (the option is not 
available) and vmnware_workstation (does not seems to support remote 
deployment). Maybe I am wrong ?

I am building a box from scratch with a rhel 7.3 OS,
Here is the packer file:
