Machine: Fail to create default machine on Windows/Virtualbox

Created on 14 Oct 2015  路  12Comments  路  Source: docker/machine

I'm trying to create a default machine on windows 8.1 and it fails.

docker-machine -version
docker-machine version 0.4.1 (e2c88d6)

docker-machine create -d virtualbox default
Creating VirtualBox VM...
Creating SSH key...
Starting VirtualBox VM...
Error creating machine: exit status 1
You will want to check the provider to make sure the machine and associated resources were properly removed.

The vm is created in Virtualbox and when I try to start it manually, I get this error dialog:

VirtualBox - Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 retries) (rc= -101)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 3 VERR_OPEN_FAILED (-101) -
File/Device open failed. Driver is probably stuck stopping/starting. Try 'sc.exe query vboxdrv' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.

When I try sc.exe query vboxdrv as told, I get this:

sc.exe query vboxdrv

SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 1  STOPPED
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 31  (0x1f)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

Il also get another error dialog in Virtualbox that says I should take a look at
.docker\machine\machines\default\default\Logs\VBoxHardening.log. Here it is:

Driver is probably stuck stopping/starting. Try 'sc.exe query vboxdrv' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.

As the logs say multiple times that rebooting may actually help, I rebooted...

And yes, the vm can be started either manually or via docker-machine start default!!

I encountered this issue. Solved by reinstalling C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.inf

I also tried to start the machine before rebooting:

docker-machine start default
exit status 1
Started machines may have new IP addresses. You may need to re-run the `docker-machine env` command.

I'm going to close this since I couldn't reproduce this problem with 0.5.0

@slecache thanks again :+1:

My experience: trying to update DockerToolbox today and encounter same issue
When you are updating DockerToolbox silently (eg. using chocoloatey), some install steps (like virtualbox) may failed silently because of process using vboxdriver

steps to check:

  • assume virtualbox is correctly installed. I recommend a UI install to know running process to kill to get safe installation+reboot
  • assume vboxdrv service is running:
    sc.exe query vboxdrv
    you should get "STATE : 4 RUNNING"
    else, open "cmd.exe" (as administrator) and start the service:
    sc.exe start vboxdrv
