Unable to install HortonWorks Sandbox on VirtualBox VM

tamarick_hill — Thu, 19 May 2016 02:30:05 GMT

I have downloaded the HortonWorks Sandbox 2.4 ova file for VirtualBox via Chrome and Firefox and when I attempt to install I am getting a "Failed to import appliance... Internal error (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH)". Has anyone had this issue and if so, how do you resolve it?

This error is most probably caused due to the corrupt Image file that you’re are trying to import in Oracle Virtual Box. The error message also suggests that it’s failing due to check sum mismatch (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH). or need to update my VirtualBox installation.

Hi @Tea Hill the release notes provide md5 checksums

http://hortonworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ReleaseNotes_3_23_2016.pdf on the title page.

You should be able to confirm the file you downloaded matches with the md5 checksum we have on the pdf. If it doesn't, most likely the file was not fully downloaded or somehow corrupted.

There are 2 files-

HDP_2.4_vmware_v3.ova (this is for VM, size about 2GB)

HDP_2.4_virtualbox_v3.tar (this is for Virtual Box which encloses "Hortonworks Sandbox with HDP 2.4.ovf" & "Hortonworks Sandbox with HDP 2.4-disk1.vmdk" , size about 8.5GB)

Use HDP_2.4_virtualbox_v3.tar contents if you are using Oracle VM Virtual Box

Hi Laxmikant,

download and install microsoft FCIV tool

Run the checksum tool against the downloaded ova file:-

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\eeidxy>set path=%path%;c:\fciv

C:\Users\eeidxy>fciv.exe C:\Users\eeidxy\Downloads\HDP_2.4_virtualbox_v3.ova

// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.

// 6991bc1276053c27f82688fd42c5352d c:\users\eeidxy\downloads\hdp_2.4_virtualbox_v 3.ova

It gives the md5 checksum as follows as a result:- 6991bc1276053c27f82688fd42c5352d

Compare this above number to the md5 checksum for the virtual box file in the release notes. If they are the same there is no corruption.

Regards, Daragh

Hi Guys,

Can you suggest a possible solution? I am having a similar issue for HDP 2 5 virtualbox.

From the download site I noted the MD5 and used fciv after the complete download.

The MD5 matches but when I import the image in virtual box I still get the same error described here.

Failed to import appliance C:/Users/Julius/Downloads/HDP_2.5_virtualbox.ova.

Seeking within the archive failed (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH).

Result Code:	VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Component:	Appliance
Interface:	IAppliance {3059cf9e-25c7-4f0b-9fa5-3c42e441670b}

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Julius
