Hi Guys,

I am using a MacBook running MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 using brew.

I have installed vagrant as per instructions on their website and it works with my local virtualbox instance but now I am trying to get it now to spin up a VM on a remote xenserver which has been converted from VirtualBox to Xen but every time I run it, I get the following error.

Error

$ vagrant up --provider=xenserver

Does anyone have an idea. There doesn't seem to be any logs so I am at a loss of trying to figure this out.

I am also including my Vagrant file in case ive made some silly issue in here which I dont think I have.

Vagrantfile

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

# All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure
# configures the configuration version (we support older styles for
# backwards compatibility). Please don't change it unless you know what
# you're doing.
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # The most common configuration options are documented and commented below.
  # For a complete reference, please see the online documentation at
  # https://docs.vagrantup.com.

  # Every Vagrant development environment requires a box. You can search for
  # boxes at https://vagrantcloud.com/search.
  config.vm.box = "xenserver-devvm"

  # Disable automatic box update checking. If you disable this, then
  # boxes will only be checked for updates when the user runs
  # `vagrant box outdated`. This is not recommended.
  # config.vm.box_check_update = false

  # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
  # within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,
  # accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.
  # NOTE: This will enable public access to the opened port
  # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

  # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
  # within the machine from a port on the host machine and only allow access
  # via 127.0.0.1 to disable public access
  # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"

  # Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine
  # using a specific IP.
  # config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

  # Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
  # Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
  # your network.
  # config.vm.network "public_network"

  # Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is
  # the path on the host to the actual folder. The second argument is
  # the path on the guest to mount the folder. And the optional third
  # argument is a set of non-required options.
  # config.vm.synced_folder "../data", "/vagrant_data"

  # Provider-specific configuration so you can fine-tune various
  # backing providers for Vagrant. These expose provider-specific options.
  # Example for VirtualBox:
  #
  # config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  #   # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
  #   vb.gui = true
  #
  #   # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
  #   vb.memory = "1024"
  # end
  #
  # View the documentation for the provider you are using for more
  # information on available options.

  # Enable provisioning with a shell script. Additional provisioners such as
  # Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt, and Docker are also available. Please see the
  # documentation for more information about their specific syntax and use.
  # config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
  #   apt-get update
  #   apt-get install -y apache2
  # SHELL

  config.vm.provider :xenserver do |xs|
    xs.xs_host = "10.xxx.xxx.5"
    xs.xs_username = "root"
    xs.xs_password = "xxxxxxxx"
    xs.pv = true
    xs.memory = 2048
    xs.use_himn = false
  end

  config.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "xenbr0"

end

I have also tried setting xs.use_him to true but this didn't help and resulted to the same error.

May I ask what am I doing wrong?

With regards to converting the image from VirtualBox to XEN, I used the guide in this Readme.
http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/vagrant-xenserver/0.0.4

Hope someone can point me into the right direction.

Kind Regards,

Simon

Update
I have just span up a Debian 9 VM and installed vagrant and this plugin. I can confirm its throwing out the exact same error as macOS
