I am working with aerospike and installing it using vagrant virtual box.

After installation, when i am trying to start the virtual machine, it is giving the following error:

. There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["startvm", "dff6693e-52c8-4c9e-922a-243d18c7f666", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The VM session was closed before any attempt to power it on VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession

i am using mac machine for this setup.

Any suggestion?

Proceeding with the following steps helped me out:

  1. restart the virtual box using:

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

  2. Stop vagrant as follows:

    vagrant halt

  3. start vagrant as follows:

    vagrant up
