Thanks for the reply!
I have converted now everything to hcl2 templates. Can you please suggest
what's the best way to pass storage as a MAP based on if there is going to
a single disk or two disk?
source "vsphere-iso" "centos" {
CPUs = var.vm-cpu-num
RAM = var.vm-mem-size
RAM_reserve_all = false
boot_command = [
"<tab> inst.text inst.ks=hd:fd0:/${ var.ks-file } <enter><wait>"
]
boot_order = "disk,cdrom,floppy"
boot_wait = "10s"
cluster = var.vsphere-cluster
communicator = "ssh"
convert_to_template = true
datastore = var.vsphere-datastore
disk_controller_type = ["pvscsi"]
floppy_files = [
var.ks-file
]
guest_os_type = "centos7_64Guest"
host = var.vsphere-host
insecure_connection = "true"
iso_paths = [
var.iso_url
]
network_adapters {
network = var.vsphere-network
network_card = "vmxnet3"
}
notes = "Build via Packer"
password = var.vsphere-password
ssh_password = var.ssh_password
ssh_username = "root"
* storage {*
* disk_size = var.vm-disk-size*
* disk_thin_provisioned = true*
* }*
* storage {*
* disk_size = var.vm-disk-size2*
* disk_thin_provisioned = true*
* }*
*..*
build {
sources = [
"source.vsphere-iso.centos"
]
}
