Overview of the Issue

When creating additional disks via

  disk_additional_size = [
    150000,
    150000
  ]

the additional disks are created in the output directory, but they are not attached to the created VM.

Packer version

Packer v1.8.5 vmware plugin 1.0.7

Simplified Packer Template

packer {
  required_plugins {
    vmware = {
      version = "= 1.0.7"
      source = "github.com/hashicorp/vmware"
    }
  }
}

source "vmware-vmx" "sentenai-fdb-300" {
  vm_name = "sentenai-fdb-300"
  headless = true
  source_path = "./output-sentenai-rhel-base/sentenai-rhel-base.vmx"
  ssh_username = "root"
  ssh_password = "rheluser"
  shutdown_command = "shutdown -P now"
  vmx_data = {
    "displayName" = "sentenai-fdb-300",
    "memsize" = "8192",
    "numvcpus" = "4",
  }

  disk_type_id = "0"
  disk_adapter_type = "nvme"
  disk_additional_size = [
    150000,
    150000
  ]
}

build {

VMX file

sentenai-fdb-300.vmx

Do we need https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-vmware/pull/95 but for vmware-vmx?

dentarg commented 7 months ago

It is possible to workaround by modifying the .vmx file by hand, like this: https://github.com/twingly/boxes/pull/41/files#diff-4fe8a1eab654c9187ffc929de002763e4733d26df46a5ed11579bedca698d2f6R110-R112
