=> logger: Matching MAC address for NAT networking. => logger: Importing base box 'bento/ubuntu-18.04'. PS C:\Users\build\DetectionLab\Vagrant> vagrant up -provider=virtualboxīringing machine 'logger' up with 'virtualbox' provider.īringing machine 'dc' up with 'virtualbox' provider.īringing machine 'wef' up with 'virtualbox' provider.īringing machine 'win10' up with 'virtualbox' provider. Each box will go through provisioning, which configures the host and installs software.Īfter running vagrant up -provider=vmware_desktop or vagrant up -provider=virtualbox, you should see something like this:.Three boxes will be downloaded from Vagrant cloud:.Vagrant will bring up one host at a time, starting with logger and followed by dc, wef, and win10.When we run Vagrant up, here’s what happens:
Once it has passed that step of the provisioning process, you can run vagrant up wef and vagrant up win10 in terminal windows 3 and 4 at the same time. Before we can bring up wef and win10, we have to wait for the dc host to finish creating the domain. In terminal windows 1 and 2, you can run vagrant up logger and vagrant up dc at the same time. To do this, I recommend opening 4 separate terminal windows open to the DetectionLab/Vagrant directory. Speed Up Installation by Provisioning Hosts in ParallelĪlertatively, to speed up the provisioning process, we can bring up some hosts in parallel. However, there is also a faster way explained below. The provider options are virtualbox or vmware_desktop. We can bring up the hosts one at a time using vagrant up -provider= command. \prepare.ps1 to verify that your system has all of the prerequisites installed:Īt this point in time, there are two ways to bring up DetectionLab. Using a terminal, navigate to the DetectionLab/Vagrant repository and run.Clone the DetectionLab repo to your filesystem: git clone.Ensure the prerequisites listed above are installed and that you meet the system requirements.For example, if you want to build DetectionLab using Virtualbox, disable the VMware network adatpers (or vice-versa) to avoid a conflict. bkirkley Posts: 6 Joined: 23.If you have both Virtualbox and VMware installed, consider disabling the network adapters for the provider that you are not using. Enterprise class machines are usually 24/7 machines with years of uptime. No Winblows required.įor those folks who are going to whine. All in all a simple VM solution thats easy to manage and easier to use. no biggie, all can be done from the unix command line. Also to run the vm's you can simply ssh to the server, launch your vm, then ssh to the vm. If the box is bigger, ie multi cpu with multi cores. With Virtual box, just grab any ole Unix, Linux, or Mac server. and VNC connection back in to manage the VM's. oh, the box also needs to be on the same net segment.ARG!!! Since most enterprise class laps don't have windows machines anywhere near their big iron, this requires an additional machine be installed next to the ESXi box. My experience with this has been painful but ESXi requires that you have a Windows machine to manage the instances via its Windows only client app. I agree, virtualbox is a much better product within enterprise class corps for a small (1 core per vm) model than vmWare ESXi is by far.

This stuff is server grade and only plays nice on very limited hardware (but that is then officially supported).īut for desktop virtualisation there's nothing better than VirtualBox! Read the VMware website carefully to what it does and doesn't do! Be very careful using Desktop PCs for ESXi. You won't be thanked on the long run.but.Īlso be aware that you'll probably spend lots of $$$ for extra products. Don't try and get VirtualBox to work for you. You also have to spend serious ammounts of $$$ for any function above the basic Hypervisor. Don't get me wrong, i hate quite a few functions of ESXi (like Windows only HUD!!!). In a business currounding I'd only use ESXi because there is just no other product around that can get so many servers virtualised so easily with so many functions. That machine cannot be used for anything else.ī) There is extensions to do anything from backing-up to running globally distributed cloud datacentres. There is no GUI on a server running ESXi. Don't know if this is still current but VirtualBox is the equivalent of VMware Workstation NOT EXS(i).Ī) ESXi is a OS in it's own right.
