Setting the "disk_type_id" to "5" leads the the following error:
[image: packer_error.PNG]
Following is the snippet of my packer configuration:
"builders": [
{
"type": "vmware-iso",
"format": "ovf",
"skip_export": true,
"iso_url": "{{user `url`}}",
"iso_checksum": "{{user `checksum`}}",
"iso_checksum_type": "sha256",
"ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_username`}}",
"ssh_password": "{{user `ssh_password`}}",
"ssh_wait_timeout": "30m",
"cpus": "4",
"memory": "32000",
"disk_size": "680000",
"disk_type_id": "5",
"headless": false,
. . .
. . .
} ],
Any pointers as to where I am going wrong?
