Vagrant up fails with VMWare + Mac M1

[mukundt]

Hey! Running Vagrant 2.4.1 on my Mac M1. I have VMWare installed, and have run vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop and brew install --cask vagrant-vmware-utility. Unfortunate I constantly get this error when running vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop:

✗ vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_desktop' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'centos/7' version '2004.01' is up to date...
==> default: Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...
==> default: Preparing network adapters...
==> default: Starting the VMware VM...
Vagrant timed out while trying to start the VMware machine. This
error is caused by VMware never successfully starting the machine.
This can often be fixed by simply retrying. If the error persists,
please verify that VMware is functional. This is not a Vagrant
issue.

Here is my Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "centos/7"
  config.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "wlp0s20f3"
  config.vm.hostname = "mrcp"
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant"

  config.vm.provider "vmware_desktop" do |v|
    v.gui = true
    v.cpus = 3
    v.memory = "4096"
  end

  config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
    ansible.playbook = "provisioning/playbook.yml"
  end
end

I wish this was a Vagrant issue but it isn't.

The centos/7 and centos/8 boxes aren't built for the aarch64 architecture which the Apple Silicon processors use. There is an issue with the page size preventing RHEL/CentOS 8 from running effectively on Apple Silicon-based machines.

These boxes can be emulated via tools like UTM but there is a performance hit.

This box may work: bento/centos-stream-9-arm64

After upgrade to Monterey it works. debian11-arm64 (vmware_desktop, 0) politessebaume0r/rocky9 (vmware_desktop, 1.2, (arm64)) sparktype/rhel9-arm64 (vmware_desktop, 2023.08.19)

RHEL 9 inspired distros like AlmaLinux, Oracle and Rocky Linux work...before that, not so much.
