I have a simple test json file to deploy a CentOS 8.1 server on VMware (6.7) and I'm getting an operation denied error message. My VMware admins assure me that I have full permissions. Here is the boot_command line in my json file:
"boot_command": [ "<esc><wait>", "linux ks=hd:fd0:/ks.cfg<enter>" ], The VM deployment goes fine until it gets to the boot_comand option. All I'm trying to do is get the deployment to use the kickstart file I have created: ==> vsphere-iso: Creating VM... ==> vsphere-iso: Customizing hardware... ==> vsphere-iso: Mounting ISO images... ==> vsphere-iso: Adding configuration parameters... ==> vsphere-iso: Creating floppy disk... vsphere-iso: Copying files flatly from floppy_files vsphere-iso: Copying file: ks7vh.cfg vsphere-iso: Done copying files from floppy_files vsphere-iso: Collecting paths from floppy_dirs vsphere-iso: Resulting paths from floppy_dirs : [] vsphere-iso: Done copying paths from floppy_dirs ==> vsphere-iso: Uploading created floppy image ==> vsphere-iso: Adding generated Floppy... ==> vsphere-iso: Set boot order... ==> vsphere-iso: Power on VM... ==> vsphere-iso: Waiting 10s for boot... ==> vsphere-iso: Typing boot command... ==> vsphere-iso: Error running boot command: error typing a boot command (code, down) `15, false`: ServerFaultCode: Permission to perform this operation was denied. ==> vsphere-iso: Power off VM... ==> vsphere-iso: Deleting Floppy image ... ==> vsphere-iso: Destroying VM... I'm new to Packer so please correct me if I'm doing something incorrectly.
