VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

问题:

I am running vagrant 1.4 and virtual box 4.3 on fedora 17 machine. When I do "vagrant up", I get this error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

I had the same problem today. The reason was that I had another VM running in VirtualBox.

1. Open VirtualBox and shut down every VM running
2. Restart VirtualBox

On Mac:

sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart 

Edit: Previous solution assumes that VirtualBox is started with the system while following is more generic:

sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart 

(tks @pazhyn)

You should now be able to run vagrant up or vagrant reload and have your new host configured.

回答2:

For Mac OS X 10.9.3 and Vagrant 1.6.3 and VirtualBox 4.3.6 this problem was fixed with restarting the VirtualBox

sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart 

回答3:

I had this issue after upgrading to OS X El Captian. Upgrading to the latest version of VB solved the issue for me. Virtual box will give you the latest link if you go to the virtualbox menu at the top of your screen and clicking check for updates.

回答4:

This issue appears to be fixed by installing the latest version of Virtual Box.

回答5:

If you are on Linux, simply run: sudo vboxreload

回答6:

I'm running Oracle VM Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

The solution that worked was to reinstall virtualbox as mentioned here:

sudo apt remove virtualbox virtualbox-5.0 virtualbox-4.*

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

I couldn't find my VirtualBox installation folder, as such could not issue the command:

$sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart

回答7:

In my case, I was able to solve this issue by reinstalling virtual box. I was trying to use laravel's homestead and was having this error. Reinstalling helps creating the directories that are needed for virtual box again. Took me an hour to figure out.

回答8:

I'm running Debian 8 (Jessie), Vagrant 1.6.5 and Virtual Box 4.3.x with the same problem.

For me it got fixed executing:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup 

回答9:

I had to reinstall Virtual Box on my machine.

Here's the downloads page: Downloads Page

Then vagrant up worked for me after.

回答10:

I am using ubuntu 14.04. I have genymotion installed on virtualbox. Every time I start genymotion I had no problem, but suddenly one time it said unable to load virtualbox engine and it didn't open. I went through the log file and found out it could not create a new host only network because it has already created all possible host only networks. And the problem is that it cannot allocate memory for a new network.

Fix: go to your virtual box File --> Preferences --> Network

Click the host-only tab and just delete some of the host-only networks so that you will get some memory freed and next time, a new network can be created easily.

Deletion fixed my problem.

回答11:

I fixed this error by installing VirtualBox 4.2 instead of 4.3. I think the latest version of vagrant and VB 4.3 are incompatible on a fedora system.

回答12:

$sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart 

Worked great for me on Mac. This normally happens when I shut down my computer without running

$vagrant suspend

• CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
• VirtualBox-5.0

I came across this tread while searching Google for... VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

I was using VirtualBox-5.0 to test some virtual machines created with Vagrant and setting private networks in my Vagrantfile web.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.2"

When evoking the command $ vagrant up I would get the above mentioned error along with /dev/vboxnetcrl does not exist.

It seems that my version of VirtualBox did not have the proper kernel module compiled for my version of Linux and the device, /dev/vboxnetcrl, does not get created.

Since I wanted to test virtual machine and not troubleshoot VirtualBox, my work around (not a solution) was to:

 # yum remove VirtualBox-5.0  # yum install VirtualBox-4.3  

After that I was able to create the virtual machines with specified host-adapters. And of course, under VirtualBox-4.3, /dev/vboxnetcrl was there.

Now on to testing my VMs. And when I have time, I'll see if I can get it working under VirtualBox 5.0

回答14:

If you are on Linux:

sudo service virtualbox restart 

回答15:

What helped me on Opensuse 42.1 is to install VirtualBox and Vagrant from the official RPMs instead of from Opensuse repositories.

回答16:

I encountered this problem on Windows 8.1, VirtualBox 5.1.18 and Vagrant 1.9.3.

Deleting the VirtualBox Hosts-only Ethernet Adapter from VirtualBox Preferences (Network --> Hosts-only networks) fixed this for me, and vagrant up could continue and start the VM.

My solution:

Make sure you have the following files under System32:

vboxnetadp.sys  vboxnetflt.sys 

You can download them from here:

http://www.sysfilesdownload.com/V/VBoxNetFltsys.html

http://www.sysfilesdownload.com/U/VBoxNetAdp.sys.html

I had the same problem while following a tutorial on setting up Laravel Homestead for Windows 10. The tutorial provides an example IP address 192.168.10.10 to use for the server. The problem with their example IP is that if you already have a VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter set up, the IP you use for your vagrant server must have the same first three parts of the IP address of your current adapter.

You can check what your current Virtualbox Host-Only Adapter IP address is by running ipconfig (windows) ifconfig (mac/linux) and looking for VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter's IPv4 address. 192.168.56.1 was mine. Usually if the host IP is 192.168.56.1 then the guest IP will be 192.168.56.101 so instead of using the example IP I used 192.168.56.102. Any IP that is within 192.168.56.* that is not already taken should work.

After this homestead up worked perfectly for me.

TL;DR - If your current VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter IP is 192.168.56.1, make your Vagrant server IP 192.168.56.102.
