Retrying...\" message.\r\n\r\nThe natural user reaction is WTF? I just waited 20 minutes for provisioning to complete and now I need to wait for SSH to become available?\r\n\r\nIt may be that I've once again overlooked a crucial Vagrantfile flag that either improves the responsiveness, tones down the retry frequency, or corrects incorrect credentialing. But, if so, I don't immediately spot it and the README guidance here doesn't address these too-likely-to-occur situations."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/audiolize/vagrant-softlayer/issues/comments/94381503","html_url":"https://github.com/audiolize/vagrant-softlayer/issues/52#issuecomment-94381503","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/audiolize/vagrant-softlayer/issues/52","id":94381503,"user":{"login":"lonniev","id":2193384,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2193384?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev","html_url":"https://github.com/lonniev","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lonniev/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-20T07:40:00Z","updated_at":"2015-04-20T07:40:00Z","body":"```bash\r\n==> sl-oslc-alm: Rebuilding the SoftLayer instance...\r\n==> sl-oslc-alm: Installing Chef cookbooks with Librarian-Chef...\r\n==> sl-oslc-alm: Waiting for instance rebuilding.

It takes a ju2wheels LATEST Windows SL image, vagrants it up, and then runs a post_install that adds Chocolatey, OpenSSH, rsync, the vagrant user, and winrm.\r\n\r\nFunctionally, it makes ready the Windows SL VM for vagrant management; qualitatively, the SL behavior could be improved. It should run much more quickly (it takes about 20 minutes) and it should run reliably (it may abort for unknown reasons while being churned at the SL center).\r\n\r\nNevertheless, it is a great aid to getting vagrant-managed Windows VMs on SL.\r\n\r\nThe vagrantization work is done with\r\n\r\n```ruby\r\n   sl.post_install = \"https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lonniev/7d967b09add6ca1f3a8a/raw/6aba37509e2c7d851bb004aeaa19ec5b438052e6/post_install.bat\"\r\n```\r\n in the Vagrantfile"}}
