Vm_description='SLES 11 SP4 box meant for The next step is to create the box itself with packer, but to make our lives a bit easier we created a tiny for this task: $ cat mkbox.sh "shutdown_command": "echo 'vagrant'|sudo -S /sbin/halt -h -p" The following step is the create a JSON template file describing the box we want to create. we also require the packer executable and save this as /usr/local/bin/packer. We saved the ovf and vmdf file in a $HOME/packer directory. So, halt the VM and export it as described on the page VirtualBox Builder. That makes the VM huge I am afraid, but when the update subscription expires no updates are possible anymore.Īs a third step, before creating a vagrant box, we created a user ‘vagrant’ and made sure that the disk device was not defined with the by-id name (as the name changes when we import the VM via packer - but that is for later), and also remove the /etc/udev/rules.d/les file as the MAC addresses will change also after the import (things we learned while trying it out). We tried to install as much as possible we require to setup a client and/or server VM. Secondly, spend sufficient time to install all executables and repositories required to update the VM. You will receive an email with a subscription key that is required to enable the repositories.
However, before you can download the ISO image you need to create an account at SuSe. It seemed to be a process with many hurdles.Īs a first step we downloaded the SLES 11 SP4 ISO image from SuSe. Therefore, we decided to create a box ourselves. For our Relax-and-Recover Automated Testing project we needed to provision a SLES11 SP4 box, but we could not find a proper working box on the Vagrant Cloud.
