@memtaus - please consider including a redacted Gist with a sample of the configuration. Ryan Johnson |

Per the docs it's "CPUs": "4",
"cores_per_socket": "2",
"ram": "16384",to "CPUs": "4",
"cpu_cores": "2",
"ram": "16384",cc @nywilken Ryan Johnson |

As my original post states, I tried cpu_cores and got the same error. I then tried the value in the Gist and another value that was discussed in the older issue I linked in my post. They all produce an "unknown configuration key" for that key. |

Issue hashicorp/packer#7190 was for the Packer Plugin for VMware (Fusion, Workstation...) ; not the Packer Plugin for VMware vSphere. Ryan Johnson |

Is it still not working for you? Ryan Johnson |

I've been tied up with other projects I got sucked into. But unless it's a versioning issue, I don't see anything here that would make me expect different results than I'm already getting. Using |

Thanks for the reply - I can certainly understood. In the meantime, I'll leave any remaining investigation / triage to the maintainer(s) or other community members. Recommend: cc @nywilken Ryan Johnson |

You don't necessarily need to rework the templates as an experiment. Consider using the vmware-samples/packer-examples-for-vsphere project to perform a test which includes the used This certainty works with HCL and should certainly work with JSON. Ryan Johnson |

This issue was originally opened by @memtaus in hashicorp/packer#11952 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below.
I'm using the vsphere-clone builder to create a template that requires the number of cores per socket to be set. I've tried using "cpu_cores" as the packer-template.json configuration key, as documented here. I've also tried both keys ("cores" and "cores_per_socket") that were discussed in this issue. All of them produce an "unknown configuration key" error.
