Hello Pengpeng I'm using terraform + this provider https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi and afaik that provider is using also https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo to create guestinfo.
I can't find the way how to trigger the disable action with vmware- toolbox-cmd. If I nuderstand that correclty I need to start the VM, but isn't there some tool to do that automatically? when I was trying to start that OVA in vmware esxi it didn't started at all. Free version of esxi is just some basic functionalit where event vSphere api is not provided. So only some UI console and ssh to host is provided. You even can't create a template from some VM, it's only possible to copy it. So there fore I just want to have some empty OVA file which I will customizes with cloud init. The problem which I see here is that I'm not able to get into the VM that is created from OVA cloud image so I'm not able to execute any action inside it. Yesterday I was also trying to modify the OVA file with virt-customize but unsuccessfully...more on that here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1339169/cloudimage-20-04-disable-vmware- custom-scripts I hope there's something that can be done even with free esxi and other tools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793715 Title: VMWare Guest OS Customization will fail for Ubuntu 18.04 Server LiveCD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1793715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
