packer build fails with API Error: NO_HOSTS_AVAILABLE #96

I have an old Dell computer that has Citrix XenServer 6.5 and SP1 freshly installed. The packer command fails with the following error.

C:\GO\src\github.com\xenserver\packer-builder-xenserver\examples>packer build -debug centos-6.6-mine.json Debug mode enabled. Builds will not be parallelized. xenserver-iso output will be in this color.

The json file is pretty vanilla. Only changed the hostname/password from the sample json file.

Thanks.

I have been also trying with XenServer 6.2, 7.1, and 7.3. All failed as well with different issues. When I tried with XenServer 6.5 without SP1, it gets stuck right after importing the image.

Had the same issue. set the "keep_vm" : "always" then try to start the vm on the server itself and you will see the reason for the failure. in my case was non existing network name.

Hello @suite800 Could you please provide a copy of your .json file? Also, is this reproducible easily?

@kirannhegde I have moved on to another life. I understand there's a long list of backlog, but it's not realistic that someone would have a copy of json file from 2 years ago.
