Description

The current version of the plugin lacks support for configuring serial ports. This feature would enable users to add and configure serial ports during the provisioning process.

Use Case(s)

  • External device communication: Communicating to external device located on the host
  • Data Logging: Send output to virtual serial port to be stored on Datastore for later processing

Potential configuration

source "vsphere-iso" "my_base_template" {
  ...
  serial = "FILE:[Datastore] directory/output_file"
  ...
}
source "vsphere-iso" "my_base_template" {
  ...
  serial = "DEVICE:/dev/ttyS0,yield=true"
  ...
}
source "vsphere-iso" "my_base_template" {
  ...
  serial = "DEVICE:COM1"
  ...
}
