Hyper-V builder assumes that host operating system shares network adapter with VMs #5023

pvandervelde · 2017-06-19T02:29:54Z

When booting the VM it is possible for Packer to host a webserver from which the VM can download files. The boot command can encode the host IP address by using the following template

preseed/url=http://{{.HTTPIP}}:{{.HTTPPort}}/preseed.cfg

Where HTTPIP and HTTPPort are replaced with the host OS IP address and the suitable port respectively.

This process fails when the host OS does not share the network adapter, i.e. when the host OS has a network adapter for itself and a separate one for the VM networks which is the approach recommended by Microsoft

Software

Packer version: 1.0, but also on the latest version build from #4944
Host platform: Seen in both Windows 10 and on Win 2016

Could you please provide me the output of the following commands:

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -SwitchName "VistaLAN" | select deviceid
Get-NetAdapter | select name, deviceid, ifindex, interfacedescription
gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter "IPEnabled = 'TRUE'"

pvandervelde · 2017-06-21T08:12:02Z

From my home PC (where this also happens)

I executed this:

$getVMNetworkAdapterResult = Get-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -SwitchName "External switch" | select deviceid
$getNetAdapterResult = Get-NetAdapter | select name, deviceid, ifindex, interfacedescription
$wmiResult = gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter "IPEnabled = 'TRUE'"

Write-Output ''
Write-Output ''
Write-Output 'Get-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -SwitchName "External switch" | select deviceid'
$getVMNetworkAdapterResult

Write-Output ''

Write-Output 'Get-NetAdapter | select name, deviceid, ifindex, interfacedescription'
$getNetAdapterResult

Write-Output ''
Write-Output ''
Write-Output 'gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter "IPEnabled = TRUE"'
$wmiResult

Which results in this:

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -SwitchName "External switch" | select deviceid


Get-NetAdapter | select name, deviceid, ifindex, interfacedescription

gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter "IPEnabled = TRUE"

The External switch is linked to the Ethernet-VmClients interface

When I'm back at work tomorrow morning I will do the same for the machine there (which does have VistaLAN).

pvandervelde · 2017-06-21T21:02:37Z

And the outcome of the previously mentioned script on the work machine is:

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -SwitchName "VistaLAN" | select deviceid


Get-NetAdapter | select name, deviceid, ifindex, interfacedescription

name deviceid                               ifIndex interfacedescription

gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter "IPEnabled = TRUE"

In this case the VistaLAN virtual switch is linked to the VMs interface

Issue what is duplicate #4947 of the current but formally was the first ;-)

DWSR · 2017-09-07T15:45:14Z

Wanted to confirm that I'm also seeing the same behaviour.

mcandre · 2017-11-18T20:08:54Z

I get similar error behavior on my system. I'm trying to build a Hyper-V provided Debian box, but Hyper-V is not propagating the preseed HTTP server connection into the guest. I can access the HTTP server from the host, but not from the guest.

I tried adding packer.exe through the Windows firewall, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient to fix this error.

Possibly interesting note: For what it's worth, Packer appears to be using the same IP address for both the guest VM and the HTTP server, 192.168.2.12. I'm not sure if this is bad form, or if this usually works. Anyway, thought that might be a contributing factor.

So... no solution for the issue yet?
My Hyper-V servers are also configured to use dedicated network adapters for host OS and separate adapters for Hyper-V External VSwitches and packer fails with the error:

The hyper-V builder is a community-maintained plugin; we'll gladly review any PR submitted to fix this.

marcinbojko · 2019-03-13T06:54:28Z

@SwampDragons - It's extremely hard when you have no clue about Go ;)
Just asking - I've hit this problem long time ago. Can we, for example, add extra variable for, I don't know, interface name to get IPs from?
Right now, for what I could guess it tries to interact with 'ManagementOS' part of VmNetworkAdapter. When it's not present, it defaults to False.
I think we can:

when it's false on non-ip looking, try to get primary interface's IP?
when we have variable, use override and get IP from variable defined network-adapter?
replace 'false' with '0.0.0.0'?

maybe also a fix for issue hashicorp#5023 at least I got same error like there, incl. VM response ==> hyperv-iso: Host IP for the HyperV machine: False although hashicorp#4947 is marked as duplicate but shows different error output ==> hyperv-iso: Error getting host adapter ip address: PowerShell error: Get-VMNetworkAdapter : No network adapter is found with the given input.

I pulled down the current nightly as I encountered this issue myself, and wanted to test the recently merged fix.

The releases page indicates the release was produced from 65d6677, which seems to have the fix included.

However, in my environment it seems the problem persists:

Get-ChildItem ENV:PACKER*

Name                           Value
----                           -----

PACKER_HTTP_IP                 False
PACKER_HTTP_PORT               8684

I'm not sure what's unique about my configuration that might cause this issue. Can (or should) this issue be re-opened?

SwampDragons · 2019-05-09T19:20:25Z

Bummer. @Rychard can you share your debug logs and repro case?

Rychard · 2019-05-09T20:41:48Z

Here you go @SwampDragons

https://gist.github.com/Rychard/715f9b4a896378ce61adc5287dd97b76

It's far from a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example, but I tried to capture as many relevant details about my configuration as I could think of.

The build in the gist is a continuation of a base Windows installation (step 1), followed by installing Windows updates (step 2). There's nothing magical about those steps, in fact they were obtained by modifying these builds.

Rychard · 2019-05-09T22:47:57Z

Here's a much smaller repro using alpine linux. I started with this template, but since HTTPIP resolves to False, that template fails early on in the boot_command since it can't obtain the answers file from the http_directory.

Consequently, I decided to truncate everything else in that template and modified it to simply type the variables into the shell. I did have to set "headless": "false" in order to see them (since SSH hasn't even been configured at this point), so I've included a screenshot instead.

@SwampDragons I need to confirm - packer-nightly produces same result in my config.

SwampDragons · 2019-05-10T16:15:43Z

Thanks.

marcinbojko · 2019-08-19T07:02:13Z

Hi @SwampDragons - 1.4.3 version doesn't solve the issue.

marcinbojko · 2019-08-20T18:42:09Z

Hi @SwampDragons - I was able te replicate it and using extra fast course 'learn Go' my dev version of packer seems to work with finding ip in case when management interface is not part of VirtualSwitch.
As my knowledge of Go is minimal, if someone could review it - great. I'll try to do PR tomorrow.

SwampDragons · 2019-08-20T23:02:41Z
