Public bug reported:
Following the "Ansible for DevOps" book (Chapter 3) to set up 3 machines
on a host-only adaptor, the guests were not reachable from the host, and
they were not reachable from each other.
Ubuntu Desktop 17.10 Artful
Vagrant 1.9.1
The command in the book that failed (in case someone searches on that):
$ ansible multi -a "hostname"
192.168.60.5 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host
192.168.60.5 port 22: No route to host\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
192.168.60.4 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host
192.168.60.4 port 22: Connection timed out\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
192.168.60.6 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host
192.168.60.6 port 22: Connection timed out\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
$ ping 192.168.60.4 etc. also failed to reach the guest from the host.
$ vagrant ssh app1 etc. also found that the other guests could be pinged from
inside a guest.
For reference the Vagrantfile is:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
# General Vagrant VM configuration
config.vm.box = "geerlingguy/centos7"
config.ssh.insert_key = false
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
v.memory = 256
v.linked_clone = true
end
# Application server 1.
config.vm.define "app1" do |app|
app.vm.hostname = "orc-app1.dev"
app.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.60.4"
end
# Application server 2.
config.vm.define "app2" do |app|
app.vm.hostname = "orc-app2.dev"
app.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.60.5"
end
# Database server.
config.vm.define "db" do |db|
db.vm.hostname = "orc-db.dev"
db.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.60.6"
end
end
I tried clearing out all my firewall settings with iptables (on the
host), but this did not help. A reboot put them all back to the way they
were. I tried manually deleting all the virtual box host only adapters
(e.g. vboxnet0) and letting vagrant recreate them, but this did not
work. I deleted the virtual box host only adapter again, and recreated
it manually myself. But this did not fix it either.
By "vagrant ssh app1" and using "ip add", I could see that the NAT adapter was
set up OK, but not the host-only adaptor:
[vagrant@orc-app1 ~]$ ip add
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

link/ether 08:00:27:34:6d:75 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8 file in the
CentOS guest, I found that the BOOTPROTO parameter was set to "none" (I
think), and there was no gateway parameter set. I am not sure which one
is critical (or both), but changing the BOOTPROTO parameter to "static"
and adding a GATEWAY parameter set to 192.168.60.1 fixed it for me
(after restarting the network service with $ sudo systemctl restart
network.service). See the example file for app1 below:
#VAGRANT-BEGIN
# The contents below are automatically generated by Vagrant. Do not modify.
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.60.4
GATEWAY=192.168.60.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DEVICE=enp0s8
PEERDNS=no
#VAGRANT-END
Doing a similar manual change to all of the guest VMs, got the ansible command
working:
$ ansible multi -a "hostname"
192.168.60.5 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>
orc-app2.dev
192.168.60.4 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>
orc-app1.dev
192.168.60.6 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>
orc-db.dev
