VMware Workstation IP Detection Issue #6691
Comments
Thanks. This one feels like it's going to be a tough one to crack. |
Hey @ladar, sorry for getting to this so late. I was just going through looking for vsphere issues and spotted this one. But looking at the debug log that you posted in vagrant's tracker, as you mentioned the execution of You should be able to see the state of the tools by checking the status of the vmtoolsd service, or if you need to do something lower-level, you can see the modules by grepping btw, thanks for attempting to protect people's privacy way back when.

Actually, I just saw an issue somewhere else that you can test to see if you can exfiltrate an IP-address with vmtoolsd: |
@arizvisa I haven't seen this issue resurface lately... so perhaps the more recent packer builds, and or OS updates have fixed it... I'm going to close the ticket, at least until I run into the issue again. |
Perfect. Thx. |

I believe I ran into a problem I've also had with
vagrant
. For some reason, with VMware workstation, at least on GUI desktops, there is an issue with getting the virtual networking up and running. The easiest fix seems to be opening the GUI, but I'm at a loss as to what the root cause is. I'm on CentOS 7.5.1804 using VMware Workstation 12.5.9.The related issue in
vagrant
:hashicorp/vagrant#9902
And the relevant debug logs from
packer
. I'm submitting a sample from early this morning, when builds were failing with error documented in issue #6689, and the corresponding snippet from the same section once the builds started working. Notice that in both, thedhcp.leases
file is consulted, only in the failing builds, it doesn't yield the IP address.While the above was happening, I connected to the guest using VNC, and if I recall correctly, I wasn't able to access the HTTP server via the 172.16.207.1 address, but I could access it if I typed in the IP address for the host network card, aka 192.168.1.211 in this case.
Once things started working, the logs changed:
It's worth noting that I don't seem to have this problem on my GUI-less robots (at least I haven't encountered this issue yet).
I'll hold onto the entire logs, in case anybody wants to me look for something specific, and I will update this ticket if I uncover any clues.
