Hi Guys,
I know you've seen this problem before, however I am having the issue now.
I have tried these settings about a 100 times in the last 2 days but none
of them work.
Basically the "vm_data_post" does not work...at least it looks that way:
I tried this:
"vmx_data_post": {
"ide1:0.startConnected": "TRUE",
"ide1:0.clientDevice": "TRUE",
"ide1:0.fileName": "emptyBackingString"
},
This:
"vmx_data_post": {
"ide1:0.deviceType" : "atapi-cdrom",
"ide1:0.fileName" : "emptyBackingString",
"ide1:0.present" : "TRUE",
"ide1:0.clientDevice" : "TRUE"
},
And also I tried the "inline" in the "post-processor" section with the
"vmware-cmd" script, that also didn't work. It "invalidates" the VM.
So before I create the template, I start the VM, try to disconnect the
"CD/DVD drive 1" and then power off the VM.
"post-processors": [
[
{
"inline": [
"/opt/scripts/vmware-perl-sdk/bin/vmware-cmd -U {{ user
`source_esxi_user` }} -P {{ user `source_esxi_password` }} -H {{ user
`VCENTER_IP` }} --vihost {{ user `REMOTE_ESXI` }} /vmfs/volumes/{{ user
`REMOTE_DATASTORE` }}/output-vmware-iso/{{ user `vm_name` }}.vmx start
soft",
"/opt/scripts/vmware-perl-sdk/bin/vmware-cmd -U {{ user
`source_esxi_user` }} -P {{ user `source_esxi_password` }} -H {{ user
`VCENTER_IP` }} --vihost {{ user `REMOTE_ESXI` }} /vmfs/volumes/{{ user
`REMOTE_DATASTORE` }}/output-vmware-iso/{{ user `vm_name` }}.vmx
disconnectdevice \"CD/DVD drive 1\"",
"/opt/scripts/vmware-perl-sdk/bin/vmware-cmd -U {{ user
`source_esxi_user` }} -P {{ user `source_esxi_password` }} -H {{ user
`VCENTER_IP` }} --vihost {{ user `REMOTE_ESXI` }} /vmfs/volumes/{{ user
`REMOTE_DATASTORE` }}/output-vmware-iso/{{ user `vm_name` }}.vmx suspend
soft"
],
"type": "shell-local"
}
]
So I am outta luck now.
Please help.
