Hi Alvaro,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Adding
reboot --eject
to kickstart .ks file did not eject the cdrom or the Datastore ISO.
Here is the logs from packer below.
It says that it's detaching the ISO but after the "vsphere-template" runs,
it attaches back the ISO.
When I comment out the "vsphere-template" part the Datastore ISO is
detached. It's only when it converts to a template when the ISO gets
attached.
Thanks for the help.
Happy Holidays.
