ssh to two VM?

[zabouti]

I want to define multiple virtual machines, run them at the same time and be able to ssh to each one. But I can't do it.

I've got two virtual machines defined AND running under virtualbox:

Guest Machine #1:

Code: Select all

	bash-3.2$ vm1=LibraryLink/Machines/ubu_9_04_server_min_base
	bash-3.2$ VBoxManage getextradiata $vm1 enumerate
	VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.4
	(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
	All rights reserved.

	Key: GUI/SaveMountedAtRuntime, Value: yes
	Key: GUI/LastWindowPostion, Value: 10,259,720,422
	Key: GUI/Fullscreen, Value: off
	Key: GUI/Seamless, Value: off
	Key: GUI/AutoresizeGuest, Value: on
	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/Protocol, Value: TCP
	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/GuestPort, Value: 22
	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort, Value: 2222

Guest Machine #2:

Code: Select all

bash-3.2$ vm2=ubu_9_04_server_min_base_mysql_5.1.35
	bash-3.2$ VBoxManage getextradata $vm1 enumerate
	VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.4
	(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
	All rights reserved.

	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/Protocol, Value: TCP
	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/GuestPort, Value: 22
	Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort, Value: 2223
	Key: GUI/LastWindowPostion, Value: 22,347,720,422
	Key: GUI/Fullscreen, Value: off
	Key: GUI/Seamless, Value: off
	Key: GUI/AutoresizeGuest, Value: on

I can ssh from the Host to Guest #1:

Code: Select all

bash-3.2$ ssh -l ge -p 2222 localhost
	ge@localhost's password: 
	Linux ubumin 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686

	logout
	Connection to

localhost closed.

But I cannot ssh from the Host to Guest #1. I just get a timeout:

Code: Select all

	bash-3.2$ ssh -l ge -p 2223 localhost
	^C
	bash-3.2$ exit

I would really appreciate any advice ....

Other than "Forget about it", that is.

What are the host and guest using for the adapter type? Host-only, NAT, Bridged, Internal?

[zabouti]

Both Guests have this as their network adapter:

Adapter 1: PCnet-FAST III (NAT)

It's not clear (to me) how the Host finds Guests, but my impression is that all are 'localhost' but respond to different ports if they've been definde differently (in my case, host's ssh port is 22, one guest is 2222 and the second guest is 2223). But that's all I know.

If the adapter type tells you something, please enlighten me! I really appreciate it. I was suspecting that some '0' has to change here, but I'm not sure:

Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort, Value: 2223

This should work, no firewall or such in use?
You are typing "VBoxManage getextradata $vm1 enumerate" for both queries and get different results??? check your syntax.

Nope. Just a vanilla (I think) pair of guest hosts inside osx leopard.

But they have different names, so I used $vm1 for one query and $vm2 for the other.

I defined them:

$ vm1=LibraryLink/Machines/ubu_9_04_server_min_base
$ vm2=ubu_9_04_server_min_base_mysql_5.1.35

[Perryg]

Myself, I use bridged mode and don't worry about port forwarding. But I like to keep it simple too.

What vbox4me2 was saying is to type this in your terminal window:

VBoxManage getextradata $vm1 enumerate and then
VBoxManage getextradata $vm2 enumerate

Look at the output and see if you can see the difference.

Thanks, perryg.

The difference is in my original post, but it's hard to see. Here's what I see:

$vm1:
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort, Value: 2222
Key: GUI/SaveMountedAtRuntime, Value: yes
Key: GUI/LastWindowPostion, Value: 10,259,720,422
$vm2:
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort, Value: 2223

I assume that the HostPort value differences are enough? But....

Thanks,
ge


... Maybe I'll try to figure out how to use bridge mode!!
