Description
Currently there's no functional to install an ISO to an existing VM. Rephrasing in packer terms: there's no way to build a machine image in vsphere by re-using an existing VM.
As a matter of fact, judging by the lack of answers here, it doesn't seem to be possible for any hypervisor, not just vsphere.
