To start with there is no *vsphere-iso* builder but a *vmware-iso* Looking at your JSON file seems you have a few parameters that are not part of the *vmware-iso *builder and they should be part of the vmx_data array under that builder
I'd recommend to read again packer documentation https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html <https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html> Also get a JSON template you know is working to start with and then progress from there till it works in your environment.. This could be a good start https://github.com/kaorimatz/packer-templates/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json <https://github.com/kaorimatz/packer-templates/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json> On Saturday, August 25, 2018 at 6:45:34 PM UTC+12, Konstantin Raskoshnyi wrote: > > Sorry for the late reply. > Here's a dummy json I have. > > { > "builders": [ > { > "type": "vsphere-iso", > "vcenter_server": "vcenter.example.com", > "insecure_connection": "true", > "username": "[email protected] <javascript:>", > "password": "password", > "datacenter": "US1", > "cluster": "DEV1", > "vm_name": "example-ubuntu", > "guest_os_type": "ubuntu64Guest", > "ssh_username": "jetbrains", > "ssh_password": "jetbrains", > "CPUs": 1, > "RAM": 1024, > "RAM_reserve_all": true, > "disk_size": 32768 > } > ], > "provisioners": [ > { > "type": "shell", > "inline": ["ls /"] > } > ] > } > > vsphere-iso output will be in this color. > > ==> vsphere-iso: Creating VM... > Build 'vsphere-iso' errored: unexpected EOF > > ==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors: > --> vsphere-iso: unexpected EOF > > Could it be something to do with vsphere access rights? > I don't have full administrative access, but can create VMs etc. > > Thanks > > > On Sat, Aug 4, 2018 at 12:07 PM Alvaro Miranda Aguilera <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> can you share the json template and a description on where are you >> building? >> >> ie locally on a host pc and trying to build to esxi host ? or using a >> plugin for vsphere? >> >> the more info, the better >> >> On Sat, Aug 4, 2018 at 9:00 AM, chic_cat <[email protected] >> <javascript:>> wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> I'm new to packer, >>> Getting this error with VMware: >>> >>> vsphere-iso output will be in this color. >>> >>> Build 'vsphere-iso' errored: default datacenter resolves to multiple >>> instances, please specify >>> >>> ==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors: >>> --> vsphere-iso: default datacenter resolves to multiple instances, >>> please specify >>> >>> ==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created. >>> >>> Cluster is specified in json file. >>> >>> Any thoughts? >>> >>> -- >>> This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - >>> https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
