This is the state of the machine after a successful
$ vagrant up
command.
The next state—denoted as saved—is returned by the
$ vagrant status
com-
mand as:
default
saved (virtualbox)
This is the state after the
$ vagrant suspend
command.
The last state—power off—is returned by the
$ vagrant status
command as:
default
poweroff (virtualbox)
This is the state the virtual machine enters after the
$ vagrant halt
command.
The state of every virtual machine is clearly indicated by the icons displayed by Vir-
tualBox. The virtual machine visible in
Figure 11-1
is denoted with green arrow
labeled
running
.
Hint
Do not use
$ sudo shutdown -h now
or any other similar command to
power off the virtual system. This command transforms the system from running into
not created. The result of
$ sudo shutdown -h now
is the same as
$ vagrant
destroy
.
Opening the SSH session to a virtual host
You can access the virtual system with SSH using:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
$ vagrant ssh
This command runs the ssh client using settings that can be listed with:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
$ vagrant ssh-config
