This issue was originally opened by @gr33nm0nk2802 in hashicorp/packer#12238 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below.
I have been trying to create a windows server 2019 VM on VMware workstation pro. However when specifying the floppy_files parameter, the vm halts at setup is starting.
Here is my pkr.hcl file
packer {
required_version = ">=1.8.2"
required_plugins {
vmware = {
version = ">= 1.0.7"
source = "github.com/hashicorp/vmware"
}
}
}
variables {
name = "win-server2019"
iso_url = "../../iso/17763.737.190906-2324.rs5_release_svc_refresh_SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us_1.iso"
iso_checksum = "sha256:549BCA46C055157291BE6C22A3AAAED8330E78EF4382C99EE82C896426A1CEE1"
disksize = "60000"
ram = "2048"
processor = "1"
user = "vagrant"
pass = "vagrant"
}
source "vmware-iso" "win-server2019" {
// Basic VM configs
vm_name = var.name
iso_url = var.iso_url
iso_checksum = var.iso_checksum
disk_size = var.disksize
memory = var.ram
cpus = var.processor
floppy_files = [
"file/autounattend.xml",
"file/winrmConfig.bat"
]
// Specify the use of winrm
communicator = "winrm"
winrm_timeout= "4h"
winrm_username = var.user
winrm_password = var.pass
shutdown_timeout = "30m"
shutdown_command = "shutdown /s /t 5 /f /d p:4:1 /c 'Packer Shutdown'"
}
build {
sources = ["sources.vmware-iso.win-server2019"]
post-processor "vagrant" {
keep_input_artifact = false
output = "win-server2019.box"
}
}
Here is my answer file.
