Hello Team, 

I got the Solution for this Network Error occurred in the CentOS7 installation. The solution for the above error is attached as a screen shots below. Please find attachments.

Previously, I got the error because of the selection of the NAT settings in the VMWare. But now, I changed from the NAT ---> Host only private network in the VMWare workstation. For this I clicked on the Restore settings of the Virtual Network editor in the Edit Menu of VMWorkstation. After that, It install the required components  and delete the unnecessary components of the VMWare. Then /dev/sr0 ,v /dev/sr1 ...../dev/sr12 type components are deleted and new Components like /dev/sdb are installed. So that my Error is resolved and creation of virtual image using packer and vagrant are done perfectly.

 But after that again, I am trying to create another image for the same configurations i got vmware connection error. I will research and explain what's error occurr here. 

 

Thank you.
