trying to create a packer template which will generate a VMware template on
my vcenter cluster, the template uploads and installs the iso but get stuck
waiting for an IP address
I notices that after installing VMTools it gets the IP address and continues
I am having trouble setting up VMTools on the installed OS, tried adding
tools_upload_flavor but I am getting *unknown configuration key:
"tools_upload_flavor"* when I try to build with this option and cannot
figure out what am I missing
