VMWare-iso & vSphere-iso with questions

Packer
2

Hi, thanks for reaching out!

  1. We suggest people use vsphere-iso for any remote esxi builds, and vmware-iso for any local desktop (vmware workstation, vmware fusion) builds.

  2. Yes, you should be able to use the VSphere builder on Esxi, but you’ll need to launch the free web application

  3. You probably need to pass those settings in the VMware ISO - Builders | Packer by HashiCorp option. Here’s a community example I found with a quick search: https://gist.github.com/berney/0dd666256ea2f8cf030a65109d3360f0#file-macos-json-L23
