[mikedesouza]

Hi
just tried running ol8_19 repo on Mac os , the only changes i made are
asm_disk_1: /Users/md/vagrant/rac/ol8_19/asm_disk_1.vdi
asm_disk_2: /Users/md/vagrant/rac/ol8_19/asm_disk_2.vdi
asm_disk_3: /Users/md/vagrant/rac/ol8_19/asm_disk_3.vdi
asm_disk_4: /Users/md/vagrant/rac/ol8_19/asm_disk_4.vdi

Dns server was fine
default: dnsmasq-2.79-13.el8.x86_64
default:
default: Complete!
default: Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dnsmasq.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service.

Node 2 was fine
default: Host key verification failed.
default: ******************************************************************************
default: Set Hostname. Tue Jan 5 10:58:18 UTC 2021
default: ******************************************************************************
default: ******************************************************************************
default: Passwordless SSH Setup for root. Tue Jan 5 10:58:18 UTC 2021
default: ******************************************************************************
default: Host key verification failed.

Node 1 had some issues
see attachments
default: /vagrant/scripts/oracle_create_database.sh: line 50: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

HI @mikedesouza ,
I never tried to run the build on Mac So I can't test it for you but it seems the OCR file on node 2 is corrupted .

• the below warnings should not be expected all the password related warning are safe to ignore

default: [WARNING] [INS-40109] The specified Oracle Base location is not empty on this server.
    default:    ACTION: Specify an empty location for Oracle Base.
    default: [WARNING] [INS-13014] Target environment does not meet some optional requirements.
    default:    CAUSE: Some of the optional prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. gridSetupActions2021-01-05_11-02-00AM.log
    default:    ACTION: Identify the list of failed prerequisite checks from the log: gridSetupActions2021-01-05_11-02-00AM.log. Then either from the log file or from installation manual find the appropriate configuration to meet the prerequisites and fix it manually.
    default: The response file for this session can be found at:
    default:  /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/install/response/grid_2021-01-05_11-02-00AM.rsp

• Something went wrong on the second node already :

default: [FATAL] [INS-35355] The node london2 specified in response file is not part of the Oracle Clusterware detected.
    default:    CAUSE: The node list for the Oracle RAC database specified in the response file does not match the configuration stored in the OCR.
    default:    ACTION: Please specify a valid node or add this node london2 to the cluster.

• Another things is that these builds are dependent on the vagrant base boxes (FritsHoogland/oracle-8.0) that might be updated
  meanwhile and vagrant might fetch the last version as you can see in the vagrant Cloud box from Frits
  the last release is v1.0.1 which was added 7 months ago . I don't think I tested my build on that one but on the previous versions (v.1.0.0).

If I was you I'd try either of the below :
1- run the centos example as the base box (bento/centos-8.0) is way more stable
2- vagrant destroy all nodes and add the below line on the vagrantFile (each node) right below "config.vm.box = var_box"

config.vm.box_version = 1.0.0   

see vagrant Note here
