`vmware-iso`: `cd_files` not working properly #15

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

This issue was originally opened by @t0rr3sp3dr0 as hashicorp/packer#10935. It was migrated here as a result of the Packer plugin split. The original body of the issue is below.

Overview of the Issue

The latest version of Packer doesn't seem to attach the cd_files generated ISO to the VM upon start.

It only works when adding the following setting:

  vmx_data = {
    "sata1.present": "TRUE",
  }

Reproduction Steps

  1. run packer build
  2. check that the VM doesn't have the generated ISO attached

Packer version

Packer v1.7.2

Simplified Packer Buildfile

source "vmware-iso" "big-sur" {
  # VMware-ISO Builder Configuration Reference
  cdrom_adapter_type = "sata"
  guest_os_type = "darwin20-64"
  version = 18

  # Extra Disk Configuration
  disk_adapter_type = "nvme"
  disk_type_id = 0

  # ISO Configuration
  iso_checksum = "file:./Install macOS Big Sur.cdr.sum"
  iso_url = "./Install macOS Big Sur.cdr"

  # CD configuration
  cd_files = [
    "./init.sh",
  ]

  # Shutdown configuration
  shutdown_command = "sudo shutdown -h now"

  # Communicator configuration
  communicator = "ssh"
  ssh_username = "user"
  ssh_password = "pass"
}

build {
  name = "vmware-iso"

  sources = [
    "sources.vmware-iso.big-sur",
  ]
}

Hello there, thanks for opening, this should have been solved by #30, you can try the most recent release of this plugin ! Please tell us if something's wrong !

t0rr3sp3dr0 commented 2 years ago

@azr this problem is still reproducible on version v1.0.3.

Added the following to the simplified packer buildfile to make sure I'm using the latest version of the plugin:

packer {
  required_version = ">= 1.7.0"

  required_plugins {
    vmware = {
      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/vmware"
      version = ">= 1.0.3"
    }
  }
}

I also have a similar issue when build against a remote ESXi Hypervisor vith the current v1.0.7. the cd is created and uploaded but not mounted ! adding

  vmx_data = {
    "sata1.present": "TRUE",
  }

Make the cdrom to be mounted

tenthirtyam commented 1 month ago

Have you set the following?

cdrom_adapter_type = "sata"
jasase commented 1 week ago

When try with cdrom_adapter_type = "data" i get the following error:

2024/09/03 15:16:34 packer-plugin-vmware_v1.1.0_x5.0_windows_amd64.exe plugin: 2024/09/03 15:16:34 [TRACE] starting builder iso
Error: 1 error(s) occurred:

* cdrom_adapter_type must be one of ide, sata, or scsi
tenthirtyam commented 1 week ago

When try with cdrom_adapter_type = "data" i get the following error:

cdrom_adapter_type = "sata"
tenthirtyam commented 1 week ago

I think I have tracked this issue down and will plan to address it for the next release, v1.1.1.
