Unable to launch sandbox 2.5

junaid_mukhtar — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 00:17:08 GMT

I get stuck when i launch HortonWorks Inside VirtualBox. the host is a CentOS 7 system. I installed the 5.1.6 virtualbox version. execution stop and block at the point: Starting SandboxContainer.

I have tried VM Ware as well but it is also showing the same behavior.

I am running Windows8 with 8Gb of RAM. For the VM i reduced the allocated 8Gb RAM to 6Gb as wel

@Junaid mukhtar

The base memory requirement for sandbox 2.5 is 8 GB ! but all the same at least it should fire up but perform badly. Can you attach a screenshot.

What is the sandbox setup like ? You will net to tweak the network check the attached screenshot from my 2.5 Sandbox

Hope that helps

I think if you designate more RAM to the guest than the host it may cause it to crash. try it with 4GB of RAM

I tried to switch the Network Adapters but it didn't work. It appears that the vboxadd-service is failing to start, i have attached the snapshothdp-failure.jpg

Fixed it by just waiting for the VM to load, it loaded after couple of mins of wait.

I think i run into the same problem. How long did it take for your Sandbox to fully loaded?
