Re: [packer] VMWare-iso provisioner - disk thin provisioning
Please find attached the scripts, template, preseed and packer logs for
both the failing scenarios:
1. When disk_type_id is set to "4" // or any valid type id
2. When disk_type_id is set to "thin" (Following the given link:
https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/674)
[image: disk_provisioning.PNG]
As seen in the above image, despite setting disk_type_id to "thin" , I see
the disk provisioning type to be "Thick Provision Eager Zero" on vcenter.

Re: [packer] VMWare-iso provisioner - disk thin provisioning
Provide your complete template, all scripts etc and the full output of a
build with PACKER_LOG=1 set. Also what the output of whatever command you
run to inspect the result and what exact version of ESXi you are using.

Setting the "disk_type_id" to "5" leads the the following error:
[image: packer_error.PNG]
Following is the snippet of my packer configuration:
"builders": [
{
"type": "vmware-iso",
"format": "ovf",
"skip_export": true,
"iso_url": "{{user `url`}}",
"iso_checksum": "{{user `checksum`}}",
"iso_checksum_type": "sha256",
"ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_username`}}",
"ssh_password": "{{user `ssh_password`}}",
"ssh_wait_timeout": "30m",
"cpus": "4",
"memory": "32000",
"disk_size": "68",
"disk_type_id": "5",
"headless": false,
. . .
. . .
} ],
Any pointers as to where I am going wrong?

Re: [packer] VMWare-iso provisioner - disk thin provisioning
Yes I did, setting disk_type_id to the numeric values causes the packer
build to fail. However, setting it to "thin" lead to the build to proceed,
however the disk is thick provisioned eager zeroed
