const DefaultVMXTemplate = `` /* 3413-byte string literal not displayed */
This is the default VMX template used if no other template is given. This is hardcoded here. If you wish to use a custom template please do so by specifying in the builder configuration.

// The size(s) of any additional
// hard disks for the VM in megabytes. If this is not specified then the VM
// will only contain a primary hard disk. The builder uses expandable, not
// fixed-size virtual hard disks, so the actual file representing the disk will
// not use the full size unless it is full.
AdditionalDiskSize []uint `mapstructure:"disk_additional_size" required:"false"`
// The adapter type of the VMware virtual disk to create. This option is
// for advanced usage, modify only if you know what you're doing. Some of
// the options you can specify are `ide`, `sata`, `nvme` or `scsi` (which
// uses the "lsilogic" scsi interface by default). If you specify another
// option, Packer will assume that you're specifying a `scsi` interface of
// that specified type. For more information, please consult [Virtual Disk
// Manager User's Guide](http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf)
// for desktop VMware clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi
// documentation.
DiskAdapterType string `mapstructure:"disk_adapter_type" required:"false"`
// The filename of the virtual disk that'll be created,
// without the extension. This defaults to packer.
DiskName string `mapstructure:"vmdk_name" required:"false"`
// The size of the hard disk for the VM in megabytes.
// The builder uses expandable, not fixed-size virtual hard disks, so the
// actual file representing the disk will not use the full size unless it
// is full. By default this is set to 40000 (about 40 GB).
DiskSize uint `mapstructure:"disk_size" required:"false"`
// The type of VMware virtual disk to create. This
// option is for advanced usage.
//
// For desktop VMware clients:
//
// Type ID | Description
// ------- | ---
// `0` | Growable virtual disk contained in a single file (monolithic sparse).
// `1` | Growable virtual disk split into 2GB files (split sparse).
// `2` | Preallocated virtual disk contained in a single file (monolithic flat).
// `3` | Preallocated virtual disk split into 2GB files (split flat).
// `4` | Preallocated virtual disk compatible with ESX server (VMFS flat).
// `5` | Compressed disk optimized for streaming.
//
// The default is `1`.
//
// For ESXi, this defaults to `zeroedthick`. The available options for ESXi
// are: `zeroedthick`, `eagerzeroedthick`, `thin`. `rdm:dev`, `rdmp:dev`,
// `2gbsparse` are not supported. Due to default disk compaction, when using
// `zeroedthick` or `eagerzeroedthick` set `skip_compaction` to `true`.
//
// For more information, please consult the [Virtual Disk Manager User's
// Guide](https://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf) for desktop
// VMware clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi documentation.
DiskTypeId string `mapstructure:"disk_type_id" required:"false"`
// Either "ovf", "ova" or "vmx", this specifies the output
// format of the exported virtual machine. This defaults to "ovf".
// Before using this option, you need to install ovftool. This option
// currently only works when option remote_type is set to "esx5".
// Since ovftool is only capable of password based authentication
// remote_password must be set when exporting the VM.
Format string `mapstructure:"format" required:"false"`
// The adapter type (or bus) that will be used
// by the cdrom device. This is chosen by default based on the disk adapter
// type. VMware tends to lean towards ide for the cdrom device unless
// sata is chosen for the disk adapter and so Packer attempts to mirror
// this logic. This field can be specified as either ide, sata, or scsi.
CdromAdapterType string `mapstructure:"cdrom_adapter_type" required:"false"`
// The guest OS type being installed. This will be
// set in the VMware VMX. By default this is other. By specifying a more
// specific OS type, VMware may perform some optimizations or virtual hardware
// changes to better support the operating system running in the
// virtual machine.
GuestOSType string `mapstructure:"guest_os_type" required:"false"`
// The [vmx hardware
// version](http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003746)
// for the new virtual machine. Only the default value has been tested, any
// other value is experimental. Default value is `9`.
Version string `mapstructure:"version" required:"false"`
// This is the name of the VMX file for the new virtual
// machine, without the file extension. By default this is packer-BUILDNAME,
// where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
VMName string `mapstructure:"vm_name" required:"false"`
VMXDiskTemplatePath string `mapstructure:"vmx_disk_template_path"`
// Path to a [configuration template](/docs/templates/engine.html) that
// defines the contents of the virtual machine VMX file for VMware. This is
// for **advanced users only** as this can render the virtual machine
// non-functional. See below for more information. For basic VMX
// modifications, try `vmx_data` first.
VMXTemplatePath string `mapstructure:"vmx_template_path" required:"false"`
// contains filtered or unexported fields
