I'm new to packer and vsphere-iso provider. I've been able provision a centos7 build where it does an unattended install va kickstart (vsphere 6.7). It fails on finding open-vm-tools. Could this be the reason? After the install, the server boots back to a command prompt instead of powering off, converting to a template. I can ssh to the server and login as root. (yeah!) I'd prefer it turn off and convert to a template. I see on the packer site, there is a convert_to_template property. I tried putting in post-processors, no luck. I sense I'm close to having this work, but stuck on Waiting for IP.
Any tips / tricks are appreciated. I can post the ks.cfg and other files if necessary. Newer to this community so not sure all what to post for assistance.
