Troubleshooting

SSH

SSH is used to communicate with VM’s so you will need an SSH server enabled on each virtual machine. This is often the case by default with many *nix installations, but may have to be installed separately.

Port Forwarding

An attempt will be made to forward the configured guest SSH port on each VM to a unique port on the host if such a port forwarding does not already exist. This only needs to be done once per virtual machine and can only occur if the VM is in a stopped state. If the automatic port forwarding fails, you can configure it yourself using your virtualizer.

Elevated User

Most guests will require elevated access (i.e. sudo) to run updates. Make sure the account you use can run as an elevated user.

PyCrypto Install

If you get a PyCrypto build error during installation please see the paramiko install docs.
