packet + vmware + cpu/memory hotplug

[Skullone]

Hello,

I'm new on packer, I succeeded in creating a vm with it, but i'm not able to find any option to enable cpu/memory hotplug in vmware.

Is there something like that available? 

Thanks!

It's configured in VMX see https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html#vmx_data

To figure out which key you need to set the simplest solution in to create a VM in VMware without CPU hot plug enabled and save a copy of the .vmx file. Then enable CPU hot plug and diff the current .vmx with the previous version.

Hi

On top of what Rickard said, here is an example:

You can put hardcoded values there or use a variable block:

Thanks a lot! I compare both file and the options are vcpu.hotadd and mem.hotadd. I added it to my json and it seems to be working :)
