vmware-vmx Builder Cloned VMWare won't boot

[Mic Le]

Hi All,

I am trying to use VMWare builder of type `vmware-vmx`.

My template section looks like this:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"builders": [

    {

      "type": "vmware-vmx",

      "source_path": "/Users/user1/win81.vmwarevm/win81.vmx",

      "headless": false,

      "boot_wait": "2m",

      "ssh_username": "user",

      "ssh_password": "password",

      "shutdown_command": "shutdown /s /t 10 /f /d p:4:1 /c \"Packer Shutdown\"",

      "vnc_port_min": 5900,

      "vnc_port_max": 5980,

      "vmx_data": {

        "RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled": "false",

        "RemoteDisplay.vnc.port": "5900",

        "memsize": "2048",

        "numvcpus": "2",

        "scsi0.virtualDev": "lsisas1068"

      }

    }

  ]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The packer build log looks like this:

==> vmware-vmx: Cloning source VM...

==> vmware-vmx: Waiting 2m0s for boot...

The VM wont boot, even after a manual retry.

The end of VMWare log inside the `output-vmware-vmx` directory looks like this:

2016-02-22T09:00:34.546-08:00| mks| I120: Error: Encountered Apple bug #5202831.  Disconnecting.

2016-02-22T09:01:34.821-08:00| vmx| I120: GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox timed out.

Please advise.

Thanks!
