Managing Virtualbox shared disks with Vagrant

[Jeff Sussna]

I'm trying to create a Vagrant configuration for Red Hat gfs. I need to set up a Virtualbox shared disk between two VM's. I can't find any information on managing that configuration via Vagrantfile instead of doing it manually in Virtualbox. Would appreciate any pointers.

Hello Jeff

I have that problem solved :)

Have a look at this Vagrantfile for ideas:
https://github.com/kikitux/racattack-ansible-oracle/blob/master/Vagrantfile

I will reproduce the important part here:

https://gist.github.com/kikitux/38208e1acd41f0c5de0e

basically the steps are:

if the file disk.vdi doesn't exist
create it as fixed size
change it to shareable
end

attach disk to vm


The gist have a loop, so you can define by code size, number, path

hope this helps

Alvaro.

This is working very nicely for me, with a few minor modifications to the storageattach call:

set --storagectl to 'IDE Controller'

set --port to 0

set --device to 1

Thanks for your help!
