I initialized my vagrant environment with the following:

elatov@kmac:~$mkdir test
elatov@kmac:~$cd test
elatov@kmac:~/test$vagrant init elatov/opensuse13-64
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.

Then I modified the Vagrantfile to configure multiple VMs:

elatov@kmac:~/test$cat Vagrantfile
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
boxes = [
  { :name => :web,:ip => '192.168.33.1',:ssh_port => 2201,:cpus => 1, :mem => 512},
  { :name => :db,:ip => '192.168.33.2',:ssh_port => 2202,:cpus => 1,:mem => 512 },
  ]

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
    boxes.each do |opts|
        config.vm.define opts[:name] do |config|
    	    config.vm.box       = "elatov/opensuse13-64"
    	    config.vm.box_url   = "https://vagrantcloud.com/elatov/opensuse13-64/version/1/provider/virtualbox.box"
    	    config.vm.network  "private_network", ip: opts[:ip]
    	    config.vm.network  "forwarded_port", guest: 22, host: opts[:ssh_port]
    	    config.vm.hostname = "%s.vagrant" % opts[:name].to_s
    	    config.vm.synced_folder "~/stuff", "/vagrant"
	    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  	    # Use VBoxManage to customize the VM
    	        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", opts[:cpus] ] if opts[:cpus]
    	        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", opts[:mem] ] if opts[:mem]
	    end
       end
    end
end

Upon starting up the environment, I saw the following:

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Stdout from the command:



Stderr from the command:

Going into the VM, I saw that our second interface is called enp0s8:

I saw an update on github for vagrant to fix that. It’s supposed to be fixed, but we would have to compile the vagrant software. I also ran into the following. From that page, we can pass a couple of parameters to the kernel to revert the old network interface names (eth*). From that site:

The easiest way to restore the old way Kernel/modules/udev rename your ethernet interfaces is supplying these kernel parameters to Fedora 19:

  1. net.ifnames=0
  2. biosdevname=0

To do so follow this steps:

  1. Edit /etc/default/grub
  2. At the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line append “net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0”
  3. Save the file
  4. Type “grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg”
  5. Type “reboot”

So let’s try it out. Boot into the template VM and add those lines:

vagrant@linux-nhp0:~> grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"

Then rebuild the initrd again:

vagrant@linux-nhp0:~> sudo mkinitrd

Kernel image:   /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.10-11-default
Initrd image:   /boot/initrd-3.11.10-11-default
Root device:	/dev/systemVG/LVRoot (mounted on / as ext3)

Then before you reboot, copy the network scripts:

vagrant@linux-nhp0:~>sudo mv /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp0s3 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
vagrant@linux-nhp0:~>sudo mv /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp0s8 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1

Then reboot the OS:

vagrant@linux-nhp0:~> sudo reboot

After the reboot, you should see the new inteface names:

vagrant@linux-nhp0:~> ip -4 a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    inet 10.0.2.15/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    inet 192.168.56.101/24 brd 192.168.56.255 scope global eth1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Making that into a box and trying again, the VMs booted up without issues :)
