docker-machine driver

[rkevinburton]

I issue the command docker-machine create --driver vmwarefusion myvm1 and I get output like:

. . . .

(myvm1) Waiting for VM to come online...

Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Machine didn't return an IP after 120 seconds, aborting

What do I need to do to use this driver?

Thank you.

You need Fusion, boot2docker, and connectivity via a NAT port group to your VMware Fusion instance. Check and see if your VM comes up in Fusion when you open it after issuing the docker-machine create command.

As the snippet of code the I shared shows the VM gets to one point and "hangs". It never "runs".

[daphnissov]

Open Fusion. Do you see a VM being created from the boot2docker image?

[rkevinburton]

Thank you. I started it up

and didn't see anything new while the create command was executing.

I also looked here and no indication that anything happened.

Any update on this?

What version of docker-machine, Docker for Mac, Fusion, and boot2docker?

Hi rkevinburton ,

Could you check the networking services are running on your Mac host by command 'ps aux|grep vmnet'?

[rkevinburton]

Hello nancyz,

Thank you for your interest. This command returns a line containing com.docker.vmnetd

What does "connectivity via a NAT port group to your VMware Fusion instance" mean?
