Description
In #8749, the ability to add multiple disks was added to the
vsphere-iso
builder. Can this ability be added to thevsphere-clone
builder as well?Use Case(s)
I have a large number of templates I would like to build with Packer that all use the same OS, but varying number of drives. In order to save time and compute resources, I use the
vsphere-iso
builder to create a template that only installs the OS and then make several templates using thevsphere-clone
template that make any tweaks needed for each use case. But becausevsphere-clone
doesn't support configuring multiple drives, I have to make avsphere-iso
template for every number of drives that are added to the template. If the ability of adding additional disks was added tovsphere-clone
, then only 1vsphere-iso
template would be needed and eachvsphere-clone
template would add any additional disks that are needed.Potential configuration
The same as
vsphere-iso
builder, specifically the disk_controller_type and storage attributes.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
