vmware-iso

[chic_cat]

Hello,

I'm new to packer,

Getting this error with VMware:

vsphere-iso output will be in this color.

Build 'vsphere-iso' errored: default datacenter resolves to multiple instances, please specify

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:

--> vsphere-iso: default datacenter resolves to multiple instances, please specify

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

Cluster is specified in json file.

Any thoughts?

I added datacenter to json.

Now it showing this error:

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:

--> vsphere-iso: unexpected EOF

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

We're running vmware 6.0 clusters.

Thanks

Start by verifying that you can build it locally, when that works. Show us the template you are using and the error message you get.

can you share the json template and a description on where are you building?

ie locally on a host pc and trying to build to esxi host ? or using a plugin for vsphere?

the more info, the better

Sorry for the late reply.

Here's a dummy json I have.

{

  "builders": [

    {

      "type": "vsphere-iso",

      "vcenter_server": "vcenter.example.com",

      "insecure_connection": "true",

      "username": "ro...@example.com",

      "password": "password",

      "datacenter": "US1",

      "cluster": "DEV1",

      "vm_name": "example-ubuntu",

      "guest_os_type": "ubuntu64Guest",

      "ssh_username": "jetbrains",

      "ssh_password": "jetbrains",

      "CPUs":             1,

      "RAM":              1024,

      "RAM_reserve_all": true,

      "disk_size":        32768

    }

  ],

  "provisioners": [

    {

      "type": "shell",

      "inline": ["ls /"]

    }

  ]

}

vsphere-iso output will be in this color.

==> vsphere-iso: Creating VM...

Build 'vsphere-iso' errored: unexpected EOF

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:

--> vsphere-iso: unexpected EOF

Could it be something to do with vsphere access rights?

I don't have full administrative access, but can create VMs etc.

Thanks

To start with there is no vsphere-iso builder but a vmware-iso

Looking at your JSON file seems you have a few parameters that are not part of the vmware-iso builder and they should be part of the vmx_data array  under that builder

I'd recommend to read again packer documentation https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html  

Also get a JSON template you know is working to start with and then progress from there till it works in your environment.. 

This could be a good start

https://github.com/kaorimatz/packer-templates/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json 

[Rickard von Essen]

There is actually a 3pp vsphere-iso builder plugin.
