Brain, I’ve made OpenIndiana Vagrant boxes available for you to ease the reproduction of the bug: - [https://atlas.hashicorp.com/dusank](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/dusank) ---

Having issues with vagrant, the "vagrant init dusank/oi-desktop --provider virtualbox" suggested on the site returns as an 'invalid option' and trying to download the box directly gives me an 'unrecognized format' error. Probably a versions issue, looking into that. ---

Just leave out the “–provider virtualbox” argument. It does not seem to work and virtualbox is the default provider anyhow. ---

You just run the command, it creates a Vagrantfile, then you can run `vagrant up` which downloads the box if it is not cached already. ---

is there a way for me to download the image directly, I will probably get it done faster than debugging vagrant. ---

Simply running `vagrant init dusank/oi-server` or `vagrant init dusank/oi-desktop` works for me with Vagrant 1.7.2. I am not aware of any other way to download the boxes. ---

Ok, i think i found the issue, Sun ssh does not like control master, on my 'test machines' i had paramiko as the default connection. I had made it part of my initialization at one point and completely forgot about it (hidden in my 'Solaris-family' ansible.cfg. So you can either override the ssh args in the ansible.cfg or just switch to using paramiko (I suggest the latter as it will perform better than Sun ssh). ---

Thanks Brian, that is great news! Does Ansible not use paramiko by default? At least that is how I understood the paramiko section here [http://docs.ansible.com/glossary.html](http://docs.ansible.com/glossary.html) Can you please tell me what exactly I should put into ansible.cfg to make this switch to paramiko use happen? =Dusan ---

Hi Dusan, have a look at the ssh (native) section on that page, ansible will use OpenSSH as default, when that one is “sufficiently new” as these support ControlMaster and ControlPersist settings. I guess paramiko does not support them. Regards, Marcus ---

Thanks Marcus, that clears things up for me. The documentation could be improved a bit on this, to at least reference the Connection Type section from the paramiko one to avoid confusion. ---

Can someone please point me to the manual page for the ansible command? I figured out by way of guessing that adding “-c paramiko” does the trick (it finally works for me), yet I would still like to read the documentation on the command and somehow cant find it. And last but not least many thanks to Brian for his time, patience and great support! ---

set transport = paramiko in ansible.cfg. The default 'smart' tries to use the local ssh if the version is new enough (does not factor Sun ssh in) and fallbacks on paramiko otherwise. I'll make a note to try to also use paramiko in the case of Sun ssh.
