Vagrant up with HyperV

MongoDB University M103: Basic Cluster Administration
#1

I have hyperv enabled on my system. When I issued vagrant up command, I get the following:
PS C:\m103> cd .\m103-vagrant-env
PS C:\m103\m103-vagrant-env> vagrant up
Bringing machine ‘mongod-m103’ up with ‘hyperv’ provider…
==> mongod-m103: Verifying Hyper-V is enabled…
==> mongod-m103: Verifying Hyper-V is accessible…
==> mongod-m103: Box ‘ubuntu/trusty64’ could not be found. Attempting to find and install…

The box you’re attempting to add doesn’t support the provider
you requested. Please find an alternate box or use an alternate
provider. Double-check your requested provider to verify you didn’t
simply misspell it.

If you’re adding a box from HashiCorp’s Vagrant Cloud, make sure the box is
released.

Is there a way to work on this lab with hyperv?

Hey @Saheli_27970

Have you enable Virtualization in your BIOS setting?
Check out this write up.

Hi @Saheli_27970,

Please disable hyper-v before using virtualBox/vagrant and retry running your command.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your responses.
The issue I am facing seems to be due to the mismatch between the box installed into Vagrant as seen from the list command -
PS C:\m103\m103-vagrant-env> vagrant box list
centos/7 (hyperv, 1905.1)

and the configuration of box mentioned in Vagrantfile -
Vagrant.configure(“2”) do |config|
config.vm.box = “ubuntu/trusty64”

Should there be any issues in passing “centos/7” for config.vm.box parameter as it supports hyperv? I have a constraint on installing VirtualBox on the system I am working on, hence I need a way to work with hyperv.

#5

Yes I have virtualization enabled. But instead of VirtualBox I am trying to figure out if I can use HyperV for provisioning Vagrant.

#6

Is it possible to work with hyper-v to create the Vagrant environment, probably by using a different box?

#7

Not sure, but maybe this could help

Hi @Saheli_27970,

I would highly recommend you to disable Hyper V running on your windows machine. Our virtual environments are not designed to work with it.

Additionally, we are not aware of any workaround to using hyper-v enabled alongside our virtual environment. So you must disable it to continue using vagrant/VirtualBox.

If you have any other issue, please feel free to get back to us.
