Hi, used the chef-provisoining-vspshere plugin to create a VM on vcenter with the recipe using chef zero from a mac workstation.. however the created Vm (node) is trying to connect to http://localhost:8889 during bootstrap instead of my my chef server.. how do i make the new created VM (node) bootstrap and connect to my chef server

with_machine_options :bootstrap_options => {

use_linked_clone: true,

num_cpus: 1, memory_mb: 2048, network_name: ["VM Network"], datacenter: 'east-dc', resource_pool: 'my-cluster', template_name: 'c7-template-v1', :ssh => { :user => 'xx', :password => 'xx', :paranoid => false } }, :sudo => true }

See https://github.com/chef/chef-provisioning#pointing-boxes-at-chef-servers for bootstrapping against a real chef server.

You would add a with_chef_server to your recipe:

with_chef_server "https://chef-server.example.org",
  :client_name => 'Chef user or client',
  :signing_key_filename => '/path/to/pemfile.pem'
