Unable to ping the vagrant VM

[sunda...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am unable to ping the Virtual machine when I issue the Vagrant up command from the Dos prompt. 

I am doing a course on EdX, which requires me to install Oracle Virtual box, VM and Vagrant.My installation is for Windows 7 64 bit. I installed all of the above as per the instructions. 

Whenever I issue the vagrant up command, the VM starts and I get a message that the VM is running. But when it tries to ping the VM, it comes with the message that there is no response.

The configuration file I am using is the default one, and it as given below.

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

# vi: set ft=ruby :

ipythonPort = 8001                 # Ipython port to forward (also set in IPython notebook config)

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

  config.ssh.insert_key = true

  config.vm.define "sparkvm" do |master|

    master.vm.box = "sparkmooc/base2"

    master.vm.box_download_insecure = true

    master.vm.boot_timeout = 900

    master.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: ipythonPort, guest: ipythonPort, auto_correct: true   # IPython port (set in notebook config)

    master.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 4040, guest: 4040, auto_correct: true                 # Spark UI (Driver)

    master.vm.hostname = "sparkvm"

    master.vm.usable_port_range = 4040..4090

    master.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|

      v.name = master.vm.hostname.to_s

    end

  end

end

 

It will be a great help if any of you share your thoughts on the same.

Bets regards

Hello,

You can connect to the virtual machine with `vagrant ssh` and see the
VM is up and running.

Any service that is running on the VM, will be available over the
redirected port, in this case 4040

There is no IP in the VM that you can use for ping as is configured today.

Thanks
Alvaro

Hi Alvaro, 

I tried Vagrant ssh and it gave me the following message

C:\Sundar\Personal\EdX\BigData\myvagrant>vagrant ssh

`ssh` executable not found in any directories in the %PATH% variable. Is an

SSH client installed? Try installing Cygwin, MinGW or Git, all of which

contain an SSH client. Or use your favorite SSH client with the following

authentication information shown below:

Host: 127.0.0.1

Port: 22

What should I be doing different.

Best regards

Vagrant on windows is slightly complicated because of the lack of a native ssh client. microsoft is working on this. https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH

in the mean time, the easiest way to run vagrant on windows is to use git-bash as your shell instead of cmd.exe or powershell. its in the github desktop client, or you can get it here, http://git-scm.com/

If you are on the latest version of Vagrant you can use vagrant powershell.
