Hi @lgw4,
Have you tried removing the shutdown parameter:
"shutdown_command": "/sbin/halt",
In which case you'll probably need to add a delay on the shutdown (to prevent it from leaving the connection in a hung state).

Thanks for the quick reply, @rdobson.
However, when I add a value for shutdown_timeout to my template JSON file per the docs, I get an error.
$ packer validate centos-7.1.json
Template validation failed. Errors are shown below.
Errors validating build 'xenserver-iso'. 1 error(s) occurred:
* Unknown configuration key: "shutdown_timeout"
I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious.

Hmm, perhaps the docs could be clearer. That timeout is actually for how long packer should wait before it reports a failure to shutdown the VM. I.e. after its executed the command in question.
Did you try removing the shutdown command from the template all together?

Thanks again for the quick reply.
I did, and I get this error:

Looks like SSH is not working when the VM is restarted:
==> xenserver-iso: Waiting for SSH to become available...
==> xenserver-iso: Timeout waiting for SSH.
Were you able to have a look at the console to see what was going on? Did the VM boot? Could you SSH in manually? (check the IP address Packer tried to connect to from the logs and make sure that hasn't changed too).
