A Simple Vagrant Setup

Preparation:

mkdir MCOLLECTIVE_VAGRANT
cd MCOLLECTIVE_VAGRANT
vagrant init
vagrant box add puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm

modify contents of MCOLLECTIVE_VAGRANT/Vagrant file to look like below:

Single Instance Vagrantfile

$ cat Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
     config.vm.box = "puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm"
     config.vm.network "public_network"
     config.vm.hostname = "vagrant.virtual.machine"
     config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
          v.memory = 1024
          v.cpus = 1
     end
end

Multi Instance Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
     config.vm.box = "puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm"
     config.vm.network "public_network"
     config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
          v.memory = 1024
          v.cpus = 1
     end
     config.vm.define "first" do |first|
          config.vm.hostname = "first.virtual.machine"
     end
     config.vm.define "second" do |second|
          config.vm.hostname = "second.virtual.machine"
     end
end

To start Vagrant instances.

vagrant up

To login into new VM machine.

vagrant ssh

To check status

vagrant global-status

Config with autostart: false and Mix of CentOS and Debian.

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
     config.vm.box = "puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm"
     config.vm.network "public_network"
     config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
          v.memory = 1024
          v.cpus = 1
     end
     config.vm.define "first", autostart: false do |first|
          config.vm.hostname = "first.virtual.machine"
     end
     config.vm.define "second", autostart: false do |second|
          config.vm.hostname = "second.virtual.machine"
     end
     config.vm.define "debian-7.4", autostart: false do |second|
          config.vm.box = "chef/debian-7.4"
          config.vm.hostname = "debian.virtual.machine"
     end
end

Bring up only Debian machine

vagrant up debian-7.4
vagrant ssh debian-7.4

Bring up now first machine

vagrant up first
vagrant ssh first

Note: When autostart: false is configured , Vagrant machines have to be brought up manually
