Packer vcenter image creation issue.

[talha jilal]

Hello All, 

 

This is my second thread regarding my vmware template creation. 

What I am doing. 

1- Trying to create vmware template from centos 7 iso image. 

2- Laptop with packer 1.2 

3- esxi.json file attached. 

4- error.logs attached.

5- esx version ( 5.1 )

6- vcenter version ( 6) 

Any help suggestion 

Windows CLI console : 

packer build esi-1.2.json

vmware-iso output will be in this color.

Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for this platform. The errors

from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver

to continue:

* 'esxcli --formatter csv system version get'

Stdout:

Stderr: bash: esxcli: command not found

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

--> vmware-iso: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for this platform. The errors

from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver

to continue:

* 'esxcli --formatter csv system version get'

Thanks ,

The ESXi machine (192.168.2.50) you are trying to run on don't have the esxcli command installed, which seems broken. SSH into the machine with the same credentials and check that you can run "esxcli -h", see https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.vcli.ref.doc_50/vcli-right.html
