Provider builds VM in parallel

[dbblackdiamond]

Hi,

I have been playing with the vsphere provider for Vagrant and found that the provider by default, builds the VMs in parallel and not serially, like all other providers. Would it be possible to change this behaviour to match the default behaviour of the other Vagrant providers?

Thanks a lot,
Bertrand.

The only other Vagrant provider I use is vagrant-aws, which builds in parallel by default. I agree that this inconsistency between providers is undesirable, but I think it's something that really must be addressed at the Vagrant level, not by every single provider.

I think it would be good if the default behaviour was the same on all providers, whether the builds are done in parallel or not. I think having this sort of consistency would be highly desirable. I'll open an issue on the Vagrant GitHub page regarding this topic as well and see what response I get.

It doesn't help that running this provider in parallel is broken

What do you mean @rylarson?

[rylarson]

@edmcman If you try to bring up a few VMs in parallel, it will fail. The parallel mode has never worked in this plugin.

[edmcman]

@rylarson I use parallel mode all the time. It works fine for me. Maybe you should file a bug.

[rylarson]

@edmcman There are already multiple issues open for it :)

How many vms are you bringing up in parallel?

[edmcman]

I bring up between 2 and 10 at a time fairly routinely.
