What OS are you running? I'm using OSX 10.8, and didn't experience these issues. Please post the errors you encountered. > > Also, can be switch to the default vagrant repo > (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant) because maintaining a fork can be a > lot of work and avoid using two versions of vagrant which I saw in deps/. This is the reason you can't use the default vagrant repo, as outlined here : http://www.chipchilders.com/blog/2012/8/14/automatically-building-devcloud-images-for-apache-cloudstack.html "Vagrant requires the use of the Virtual Box Guest Additions for many of it's features. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the Guest Additions kernel module to load correctly when the VM booted into the Xen Server configuration. The puppet provisioner module relies on VirtualBox shared folders, which don't function without that properly loaded Guest Additions kernel module. Since we were trying to use the Vagrant Puppet provisioner, we were stuck. To get around that, Edison modified the Vagrant core code itself, so that it could use a "with_ssh" option for it's puppet provisioner to SCP files onto the VM. We also had an issue with guest OS identification within Vagrant. Even though we had added a new OS type (xen), there were problems getting Vagrant to skip it's attempt to mount shared folders. You can see the changes that were required in Vagrant if you check out the hacked version of Vagrant on Github." > For the basebox, the nic settings are fine.

As documented here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/641: "The first NIC is always a NAT. Vagrant requires it that way." Based on that requirement, we will have to adapt devcloud to use eth0 as NAT and eth1 as Host Only. - James > > Thank you for your work. > Rohit > ________________________________________ > From: James Martin [nore...@reviews.apache.org] On Behalf Of James Martin > [jmar...@basho.com] > Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2012 10:52 PM > To: Prasanna Santhanam; Rohit Yadav > Cc: cloudstack; James Martin > Subject: Re: Review Request: cleanup devcloud creation process > >> On Dec. 15, 2012, 3:39 a.m., Rohit Yadav wrote: >> > Pfew, took me few hours to test and fix few issues. >> > First of all I want to give you kudos for your work, Kudos! >> > That said, the patch fails on multiple cases.
