vmware-iso: Waiting for SSH to become available hangs

[Lynn Ben Barouch]

Hey!

I am using the vmware-iso builder, the VM gets created successfully and the os installation is successful as well. 

Also, I can successfully connect via SSH to the newly created VM (using the same credentials given to packer). However, I am getting SSH timeouts.

All I am seeing in the packer log is:

2019/07/29 08:50:33 packer: 2019/07/29 08:50:33 [DEBUG] Opening new ssh session
packer: 2019/07/29 08:50:33 [DEBUG] starting remote command: esxcli --formatter csv network vm list
2019/07/29 08:50:34 packer: 2019/07/29 08:50:34 [DEBUG] Error getting SSH address: EOF

: When running this command on the esx

[packer@ESX:~] esxcli --formatter csv network vm list

Name,Networks,NumPorts,WorldID,

centos7-2019-07-29_08-18-22,"Network,",1,3179774,

centos7-2019-07-29_07-53-41,"Network,",1,3175792,

.Please find attached my builder config

Hi Lynn,

Are you sure that the network is correctly set on your VM ? I guess it is a Centos.

Here you can find a kickstart that we use and that is working with the associtate json.

Regards,
