vsphere-clone: unable to use disk_size when source image has multiple disks #303
Description
When filing a bug please include the following headings, if possible.
Overview of the Issue
I'm using vsphere-clone image which has 1 primary and 2 extra disks.
When trying to use disk_size parameter, I'm getting an error:
2023-09-04T12:38:33Z: Build 'vsphere-clone.customise' errored after 1 second 229 milliseconds: failed to resize primary disk: VM has multiple disks
There is no mention in the docs that's not supported though.
Looking at the old implementation ticket jetbrains-infra/packer-builder-vsphere#68 (comment) it appears that the intention was to support resizing of existing disks with the storage stanza but all that does is add even more disks.
Reproduction Steps
packer build with an source VM/image containing more than 1 disk
