Packaging a box from an existing box

For LX Zones you can use a Joyent UUID, for Bhyve Zones, you can use a ZSS file or a image from the Vagrant Cloud with the Zone provider. There may be future work to convert existing images to a Zone provider type.

Once you have setup your a box with an existing box, you can create a box from that with:

vagrant package --output test4.box

Convert a box

This will allow you to attempt to use a Vagrant Virtualbox provider box and have it converted to Bhyve/KVM.

Run the box

Then execute this command to start the box with bhyve ( '--provider=zone' may be necessary if not defined in Vagrant file)

$ pfexec vagrant up 

SSH into the box

After the box is started, you can ssh into by executing this command.

$ /path/to/vagrant-zones/bin/vagrant ssh

Shutdown the box and cleanup

This command will shutdown the booted VM and clean up environment

$ /path/to/vagrant-zones/bin/vagrant halt

Destroy the box

$ /path/to/vagrant-zones/vagrant destroy

Cleanly restart the guest vm.

This command will shutdown the booted VM and clean up environment

$ /path/to/vagrant-zones/bin/vagrant zone control restart
