The Hyper-V Packer builder is able to create
[Hyper-V](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/solutions/virtualization.aspx)
virtual machines and export them, starting from an ISO image.
The builder builds a virtual machine by creating a new virtual machine
from scratch, booting it, installing an OS, provisioning software within
the OS, then shutting it down. The result of the Hyper-V builder is a directory
containing all the files necessary to run the virtual machine portably.
The builder builds a virtual machine by creating a new virtual machine from
scratch. Typically, the VM is booted, an OS is installed, and software is
provisioned within the OS. Finally the VM is shut down. The result of the
Hyper-V builder is a directory containing all the files necessary to run
the virtual machine portably.
## Basic Example
Here is a basic example. This example is not functional. It will start the
OS installer but then fail because we don't provide the preseed file for
Ubuntu to self-install. Still, the example serves to show the basic configuration:

```
It is important to add a `shutdown_command`. By default Packer halts the
virtual machine and the file system may not be sync'd. Thus, changes made in a
provisioner might not be saved.
By default Packer will perform a hard power off of a virtual machine.
However, when a machine is powered off this way, it is possible that
changes made to the VMs file system may not be fully synced, possibly
leading to corruption of files or lost changes. As such, it is important to
add a `shutdown_command`. This tells Packer how to safely shutdown and
power off the VM.
## Configuration Reference
There are many configuration options available for the Hyper-V builder.
They are organized below into two categories: required and optional. Within
each category, the available options are alphabetized and described.

category, the available options are alphabetized and described.
In addition to the options listed here, a
[communicator](/docs/templates/communicator.html)
can be configured for this builder.
[communicator](/docs/templates/communicator.html) can be configured for this
builder.
### Required:
- `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the OS ISO file or virtual
harddrive file. Because these files are so large, this is required and
Packer will verify it prior to booting a virtual machine with the ISO or
virtual harddrive attached. The type of the checksum is specified with
`iso_checksum_type`, documented below.
- `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the ISO file or virtual
hard drive file. The algorithm to use when computing the checksum is
specified with `iso_checksum_type`.
- `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The type of the checksum specified in
`iso_checksum`. Valid values are "none", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or
"sha512" currently. While "none" will skip checksumming, this is not
recommended since ISO files and virtual harddrive files are generally large
and corruption does happen from time to time.
- `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The algorithm to be used when computing
the checksum of the file specified in `iso_checksum`. Currently, valid
values are "none", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or "sha512". Since the
validity of ISO and virtual disk files are typically crucial to a
successful build, Packer performs a check of any supplied media by
default. While setting "none" will cause Packer to skip this check,
corruption of large files such as ISOs and virtual hard drives can
occur from time to time. As such, skipping this check is not
recommended.
- `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO containing the installation image or
virtual harddrive vhd or vhdx file to clone. This URL can be either an HTTP
URL or a file URL (or path to a file). If this is an HTTP URL, Packer will
download the file and cache it between runs.
virtual hard drive (VHD or VHDX) file to clone. This URL can be either an
HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to a file). If this is an HTTP URL, Packer
will download the file and cache it between runs.
### Optional:
- `boot_command` (array of strings) - This is an array of commands to type
when the virtual machine is first booted. The goal of these commands should
be to type just enough to initialize the operating system installer. Special
keys can be typed as well, and are covered in the section below on the boot
command. If this is not specified, it is assumed the installer will start
itself.

should be to type just enough to initialize the operating system
installer. Special keys can be typed as well, and are covered in the
section below on the boot command. If this is not specified, it is assumed
the installer will start itself.
- `boot_wait` (string) - The time to wait after booting the initial virtual
machine before typing the `boot_command`. The value of this should be
a duration. Examples are "5s" and "1m30s" which will cause Packer to wait
five seconds and one minute 30 seconds, respectively. If this isn't specified,
the default is 10 seconds.
machine before typing the `boot_command`. The value specified should be
a duration. For example, setting a duration of "1m30s" would cause
Packer to wait for 1 minute 30 seconds before typing the boot command.
The default duration is "10s" (10 seconds).
- `cpu` (number) - The number of cpus the virtual machine should use. If this isn't specified,
the default is 1 cpu.
- `cpu` (number) - The number of CPUs the virtual machine should use. If
this isn't specified, the default is 1 CPU.
- `disk_additional_size` (array of integers) - 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. Additional drives will be attached to the SCSI
interface only. 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.
- `differencing_disk` (boolean) - If true enables differencing disks. Only
the changes will be written to the new disk. This is especially useful if
your source is a VHD/VHDX. This defaults to `false`.
- `disk_additional_size` (array of integers) - The size or sizes 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. Additional drives
will be attached to the SCSI interface only. The builder uses
expandable rather than fixed-size virtual hard disks, so the actual
file representing the disk will not use the full size unless it is
full.
- `disk_block_size` (string) - The block size of the VHD to be created.
Recommended disk block size for Linux hyper-v guests is 1 MiB. This
defaults to "32 MiB".
- `disk_size` (number) - The size, in megabytes, of the hard disk to create
for the VM. By default, this is 40 GB.
- `differencing_disk` (boolean) - If true enables differencing disks. Only the changes will be written to the new disk. This is especially useful if your
source is a vhd/vhdx. This defaults to false.
- `enable_dynamic_memory` (boolean) - If `true` enable dynamic memory for
the virtual machine. This defaults to `false`.
- `headless` (boolean) - Packer defaults to building Hyper-V virtual
machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine
being built. When this value is set to true, the machine will start without
a console.
- `enable_mac_spoofing` (boolean) - If `true` enable MAC address spoofing
for the virtual machine. This defaults to `false`.
- `skip_export` (boolean) - If true skips VM export. If you are interested only in the vhd/vhdx files, you can enable this option. This will create
inline disks which improves the build performance. There will not be any copying of source vhds to temp directory. This defaults to false.
- `enable_secure_boot` (boolean) - If `true` enable secure boot for the
virtual machine. This defaults to `false`. See `secure_boot_template`
below for additional settings.
- `enable_dynamic_memory` (boolean) - If true enable dynamic memory for virtual machine.
This defaults to false.
- `enable_mac_spoofing` (boolean) - If true enable mac spoofing for virtual machine.
This defaults to false.
- `enable_secure_boot` (boolean) - If true enable secure boot for virtual machine. This defaults to false.
- `secure_boot_template` (string) - The secure boot template to be configured. Valid values are "MicrosoftWindows" (Windows) or
"MicrosoftUEFICertificateAuthority" (Linux). This only takes effect if enable_secure_boot is set to "true". This defaults to "MicrosoftWindows".
- `enable_virtualization_extensions` (boolean) - If true enable virtualization extensions for virtual machine.
This defaults to false. For nested virtualization you need to enable mac spoofing, disable dynamic memory
and have at least 4GB of RAM for virtual machine.
- `floppy_files` (array of strings) - A list of files to place onto a floppy
disk that is attached when the VM is booted. This is most useful
for unattended Windows installs, which look for an `Autounattend.xml` file
on removable media. By default, no floppy will be attached. All files
listed in this setting get placed into the root directory of the floppy
and the floppy is attached as the first floppy device. Currently, no
support exists for creating sub-directories on the floppy. Wildcard
characters (`*`, `?`, and `[]`) are allowed. Directory names are also allowed,
which will add all the files found in the directory to the floppy.
- `enable_virtualization_extensions` (boolean) - If `true` enable
virtualization extensions for the virtual machine. This defaults to
`false`. For nested virtualization you need to enable MAC spoofing,
disable dynamic memory and have at least 4GB of RAM assigned to the
virtual machine.
- `floppy_dirs` (array of strings) - A list of directories to place onto
the floppy disk recursively. This is similar to the `floppy_files` option
except that the directory structure is preserved. This is useful for when
your floppy disk includes drivers or if you just want to organize it's
contents as a hierarchy. Wildcard characters (\*, ?, and \[\]) are allowed.
The maximum summary size of all files in the listed directories are the
same as in `floppy_files`.

(`*`, `?`, and `[]`) are allowed. Directory names are also allowed, which
will add all the files found in the directory to the floppy.
- `generation` (number) - The Hyper-V generation for the virtual machine. By
default, this is 1. Generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machines do not support
floppy drives. In this scenario use `secondary_iso_images` instead. Hard
drives and dvd drives will also be scsi and not ide.
drives and DVD drives will also be SCSI and not IDE.
- `guest_additions_mode` (string) - How should guest additions be installed.
If value `attach` then attach iso image with by specified by `guest_additions_path`.
Otherwise guest additions is not installed.
- `guest_additions_mode` (string) - If set to `attach` then attach and
mount the ISO image specified in `guest_additions_path`. If set to
`none` then guest additions are not attached and mounted; This is the
default.
- `guest_additions_path` (string) - The path to the iso image for guest additions.
- `guest_additions_path` (string) - The path to the ISO image for guest
additions.
- `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using an HTTP
server. The files in this directory will be available over HTTP that will
be requestable from the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting
kickstart files and so on. By default this is "", which means no HTTP
server will be started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be
available as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail
below.
- `headless` (boolean) - Packer defaults to building Hyper-V virtual
machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine being
built. When this value is set to true, the machine will start without a
console.
- `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using Packers
inbuilt HTTP server. The files in this directory will be available
over HTTP to the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting kickstart
files and so on. By default this value is unset and the HTTP server is
not started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be available
as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail below.
- `http_port_min` and `http_port_max` (number) - These are the minimum and
maximum port to use for the HTTP server started to serve the `http_directory`.
Because Packer often runs in parallel, Packer will choose a randomly available
port in this range to run the HTTP server. If you want to force the HTTP
server to be on one port, make this minimum and maximum port the same.
maximum port to use for the HTTP server started to serve the
`http_directory`. Since Packer often runs in parallel, a randomly
available port in this range will be repeatedly chosen until an
available port is found. To force the HTTP server to use a specific
port, set an identical value for `http_port_min` and `http_port_max`.
By default the values are 8000 and 9000, respectively.
- `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO to download.
Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting to download
or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next. All URLs
must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is empty
and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be specified.
- `iso_target_extension` (string) - The extension of the iso file after
- `iso_target_extension` (string) - The extension of the ISO file after
download. This defaults to "iso".
- `iso_target_path` (string) - The path where the iso should be saved after
download. By default will go in the packer cache, with a hash of the
original filename as its name.
- `iso_target_path` (string) - The path where the ISO should be saved after
download. By default the ISO will be saved in the Packer cache
directory with a hash of the original filename as its name.
- `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO to download.
Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting to
download or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next.
All URLs must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is
empty and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be
specified.
- `mac_address` (string) - This allows a specific MAC address to be used on
the default virtual network card. The MAC address must be a string with
no delimiters, for example "0000deadbeef".
- `output_directory` (string) - This is the path to the directory where the
resulting virtual machine will be created. This may be relative or absolute.
If relative, the path is relative to the working directory when `packer`
is executed. This directory must not exist or be empty prior to running the builder.
By default this is "output-BUILDNAME" where "BUILDNAME" is the name
of the build.

"BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
- `ram_size` (number) - The size, in megabytes, of the ram to create
for the VM. By default, this is 1 GB.
- `ram_size` (number) - The amount, in megabytes, of RAM to assign to the
VM. By default, this is 1 GB.
- `secondary_iso_images` (array of strings) - A list of iso paths to attached to a
VM when it is booted. This is most useful for unattended Windows installs, which
look for an `Autounattend.xml` file on removable media. By default, no
secondary iso will be attached.
- `secondary_iso_images` (array of strings) - A list of ISO paths to
attach to a VM when it is booted. This is most useful for unattended
Windows installs, which look for an `Autounattend.xml` file on removable
media. By default, no secondary ISO will be attached.
- `shutdown_command` (string) - The command to use to gracefully shut down the machine once all
the provisioning is done. By default this is an empty string, which tells Packer to just
forcefully shut down the machine unless a shutdown command takes place inside script so this may
safely be omitted. If one or more scripts require a reboot it is suggested to leave this blank
since reboots may fail and specify the final shutdown command in your last script.
- `secure_boot_template` (string) - The secure boot template to be
configured. Valid values are "MicrosoftWindows" (Windows) or
"MicrosoftUEFICertificateAuthority" (Linux). This only takes effect if
`enable_secure_boot` is set to "true". This defaults to "MicrosoftWindows".
- `shutdown_command` (string) - The command to use to gracefully shut down
the machine once all provisioning is complete. By default this is an
empty string, which tells Packer to just forcefully shut down the
machine. This setting can be safely omitted if for example, a shutdown
command to gracefully halt the machine is configured inside a
provisioning script. If one or more scripts require a reboot it is
suggested to leave this blank (since reboots may fail) and instead
specify the final shutdown command in your last script.
- `shutdown_timeout` (string) - The amount of time to wait after executing
the `shutdown_command` for the virtual machine to actually shut down.
If it doesn't shut down in this time, it is an error. By default, the timeout
is "5m", or five minutes.
If the machine doesn't shut down in this time it is considered an
error. By default, the time out is "5m" (five minutes).
- `skip_compaction` (boolean) - If true skip compacting the hard disk for virtual machine when
exporting. This defaults to false.
- `skip_compaction` (boolean) - If `true` skip compacting the hard disk for
the virtual machine when exporting. This defaults to `false`.
- `switch_name` (string) - The name of the switch to connect the virtual machine to. Be defaulting
this to an empty string, Packer will try to determine the switch to use by looking for
external switch that is up and running.
- `skip_export` (boolean) - If `true` Packer will skip the export of the
VM. If you are interested only in the VHD/VHDX files, you can enable
this option. This will create inline disks which improves the build
performance. There will not be any copying of source VHDs to the temp
directory. This defaults to `false`.
- `switch_vlan_id` (string) - This is the vlan of the virtual switch's network card.
By default none is set. If none is set then a vlan is not set on the switch's network card.
If this value is set it should match the vlan specified in by `vlan_id`.
- `switch_name` (string) - The name of the switch to connect the virtual
machine to. By default, leaving this value unset will cause Packer to
try and determine the switch to use by looking for an external switch
that is up and running.
- `use_fixed_vhd_format` (boolean) - If true, creates the boot disk on the virtual machine as
a fixed VHD format disk. The default is false, which creates a dynamic VHDX format disk. This
option requires setting `generation` to 1, `skip_compaction` to true, and `differencing_disk` to false.
Additionally, any value entered for `disk_block_size` will be ignored. The most likely use case for this
option is outputing a disk that is in the format required for upload to Azure.
- `switch_vlan_id` (string) - This is the VLAN of the virtual switch's
network card. By default none is set. If none is set then a VLAN is not
set on the switch's network card. If this value is set it should match
the VLAN specified in by `vlan_id`.
- `temp_path` (string) - This is the temporary path in which Packer will
create the virtual machine. By default the value is the system `%temp%`.
- `use_fixed_vhd_format` (boolean) - If true, creates the boot disk on the
virtual machine as a fixed VHD format disk. The default is `false`, which
creates a dynamic VHDX format disk. This option requires setting
`generation` to `1`, `skip_compaction` to `true`, and
`differencing_disk` to `false`. Additionally, any value entered for
`disk_block_size` will be ignored. The most likely use case for this
option is outputing a disk that is in the format required for upload to
Azure.
- `vhd_temp_path` (string) - A separate path to be used for storing the VM's
disk image. The purpose is to enable reading and writing to take place on
different physical disks (read from VHD temp path, write to regular temp
path while exporting the VM) to eliminate a single-disk bottleneck.
- `vlan_id` (string) - This is the vlan of the virtual machine's network card
for the new virtual machine. By default none is set. If none is set then
vlans are not set on the virtual machine's network card.
- `vlan_id` (string) - This is the VLAN of the virtual machine's network
card for the new virtual machine. By default none is set. If none is set
then VLANs are not set on the virtual machine's network card.
- `mac_address` (string) - This allows a specific MAC address to be used on the
default virtual network card. The MAC address must be a string with no
delimiters, for example "0000deadbeef".
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the virtual machine for the new virtual
machine, without the file extension. By default this is "packer-BUILDNAME",
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the new virtual machine,
without the file extension. By default this is "packer-BUILDNAME",
where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
- `temp_path` (string) - This is the temporary path in which Packer will create the virtual
machine. Default value is system `%temp%`
- `disk_block_size` (string) - The block size of the VHD to be created.
Recommended disk block size for Linux hyper-v guests is 1 MiB. This defaults to "32 MiB".
## Boot Command
The `boot_command` configuration is very important: it specifies the keys
to type when the virtual machine is first booted in order to start the
OS installer. This command is typed after `boot_wait`, which gives the
virtual machine some time to actually load the ISO.

It is important to add a `shutdown_command`. By default Packer halts the
virtual machine and the file system may not be sync'd. Thus, changes made in a
provisioner might not be saved.
By default Packer will perform a hard power off of a virtual machine.
However, when a machine is powered off this way, it is possible that
changes made to the VMs file system may not be fully synced, possibly
leading to corruption of files or lost changes. As such, it is important to
add a `shutdown_command`. This tells Packer how to safely shutdown and
power off the VM.

"MicrosoftUEFICertificateAuthority" (Linux). This only takes effect if enable_secure_boot is set to "true". This defaults to "MicrosoftWindows".
- `enable_mac_spoofing` (boolean) - If `true` enable MAC address spoofing
for the virtual machine. This defaults to `false`.
- `enable_virtualization_extensions` (boolean) - If true enable virtualization
extensions for virtual machine. This defaults to false. For nested
virtualization you need to enable mac spoofing, disable dynamic memory and
have at least 4GB of RAM for virtual machine.
- `enable_secure_boot` (boolean) - If `true` enable secure boot for the
virtual machine. This defaults to `false`. See `secure_boot_template`
below for additional settings.
- `enable_virtualization_extensions` (boolean) - If `true` enable
virtualization extensions for the virtual machine. This defaults to
`false`. For nested virtualization you need to enable MAC spoofing,
disable dynamic memory and have at least 4GB of RAM assigned to the
virtual machine.
- `floppy_dirs` (array of strings) - A list of directories to place onto
the floppy disk recursively. This is similar to the `floppy_files` option
except that the directory structure is preserved. This is useful for when
your floppy disk includes drivers or if you just want to organize it's
contents as a hierarchy. Wildcard characters (\*, ?, and \[\]) are
allowed. The maximum summary size of all files in the listed directories
are the same as in `floppy_files`.
- `floppy_files` (array of strings) - A list of files to place onto a floppy
disk that is attached when the VM is booted. This is most useful for
unattended Windows installs, which look for an `Autounattend.xml` file on
removable media. By default, no floppy will be attached. All files listed
in this setting get placed into the root directory of the floppy and the
floppy is attached as the first floppy device. Currently, no support exists
for creating sub-directories on the floppy. Wildcard characters (*, ?, and
[]) are allowed. Directory names are also allowed, which will add all the
files found in the directory to the floppy.

- `guest_additions_mode` (string) - If set to `attach` then attach and
mount the ISO image specified in `guest_additions_path`. If set to
`none` then guest additions are not attached and mounted; This is the
default.
- `guest_additions_mode` (string) - How should guest additions be installed.

machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine being
built. When this value is set to true, the machine will start without a

- `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using an HTTP
server. The files in this directory will be available over HTTP that will
be requestable from the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting
kickstart files and so on. By default this is "", which means no HTTP
server will be started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be
available as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail
below.
- `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using Packers
inbuilt HTTP server. The files in this directory will be available
over HTTP to the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting kickstart
files and so on. By default this value is unset and the HTTP server is
not started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be available
as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail below.
- `http_port_min` and `http_port_max` (number) - These are the minimum and
maximum port to use for the HTTP server started to serve the
`http_directory`. Because Packer often runs in parallel, Packer will choose
a randomly available port in this range to run the HTTP server. If you want
to force the HTTP server to be on one port, make this minimum and maximum
port the same. By default the values are 8000 and 9000, respectively.
`http_directory`. Since Packer often runs in parallel, a randomly
available port in this range will be repeatedly chosen until an
available port is found. To force the HTTP server to use a specific
port, set an identical value for `http_port_min` and `http_port_max`.
By default the values are 8000 and 9000, respectively.
- `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the OS ISO file. Because ISO
files are so large, this is required and Packer will verify it prior to
booting a virtual machine with the ISO attached. The type of the checksum
is specified with `iso_checksum_type`, documented below.
- `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The algorithm to be used when computing
the checksum of the file specified in `iso_checksum`. Currently, valid
values are "none", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or "sha512". Since the
validity of ISO and virtual disk files are typically crucial to a
successful build, Packer performs a check of any supplied media by
default. While setting "none" will cause Packer to skip this check,
corruption of large files such as ISOs and virtual hard drives can
occur from time to time. As such, skipping this check is not
recommended.
- `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The type of the checksum specified in
`iso_checksum`. Valid values are "none", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or
"sha512" currently. While "none" will skip checksumming, this is not
recommended since ISO files are generally large and corruption does happen
from time to time.
- `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the ISO file or virtual
hard drive file. The algorithm to use when computing the checksum is
specified with `iso_checksum_type`.
- `iso_target_extension` (string) - The extension of the ISO file after
download. This defaults to "iso".
- `iso_target_path` (string) - The path where the ISO should be saved after
download. By default the ISO will be saved in the Packer cache
directory with a hash of the original filename as its name.
- `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO or VHD containing the installation
image. This URL can be either an HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to
a file). If this is an HTTP URL, Packer will download iso and cache it
image. This URL can be either an HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to a
file). If this is an HTTP URL, Packer will download iso and cache it
between runs.
- `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO or VHD to
download. Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting
to download or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next.
All URLs must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is
empty and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be
specified.

installs, which look for an `Autounattend.xml` file on removable media. By
default, no secondary iso will be attached.

`enable_secure_boot` is set to "true". This defaults to "MicrosoftWindows".
- `shutdown_command` (string) - The command to use to gracefully shut down
the machine once all the provisioning is done. By default this is an empty
string, which tells Packer to just forcefully shut down the machine unless
a shutdown command takes place inside script so this may safely be omitted.
If one or more scripts require a reboot it is suggested to leave this blank

provisioning script. If one or more scripts require a reboot it is
suggested to leave this blank (since reboots may fail) and instead
specify the final shutdown command in your last script.
- `shutdown_timeout` (string) - The amount of time to wait after executing
the `shutdown_command` for the virtual machine to actually shut down. If it
doesn't shut down in this time, it is an error. By default, the timeout is
"5m", or five minutes.

- `skip_export` (boolean) - If `true` Packer will skip the export of the
VM. If you are interested only in the VHD/VHDX files, you can enable
this option. This will create inline disks which improves the build
performance. There will not be any copying of source VHDs to the temp
directory. This defaults to `false`.

machine to. Be defaulting this to an empty string, Packer will try to
determine the switch to use by looking for external switch that is up and
running.

try and determine the switch to use by looking for an external switch
that is up and running.
- `switch_vlan_id` (string) - This is the vlan of the virtual switch's
network card. By default none is set. If none is set then a vlan is not set
on the switch's network card. If this value is set it should match the vlan
specified in by `vlan_id`.
- `switch_vlan_id` (string) - This is the VLAN of the virtual switch's
network card. By default none is set. If none is set then a VLAN is not
set on the switch's network card. If this value is set it should match
the VLAN specified in by `vlan_id`.

card for the new virtual machine. By default none is set. If none is set
then VLANs are not set on the virtual machine's network card.
- `mac_address` (string) - This allows a specific MAC address to be used on the
default virtual network card. The MAC address must be a string with no
delimiters, for example "0000deadbeef".
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the virtual machine for the new
virtual machine, without the file extension. By default this is
"packer-BUILDNAME", where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.

## Boot Command
The `boot_command` configuration is very important: it specifies the keys
to type when the virtual machine is first booted in order to start the
OS installer. This command is typed after `boot_wait`, which gives the
virtual machine some time to actually load the ISO.
