Is Intel Virtualization Technology should be enabled in BIOS for this? enter image description here

I am sharing below my Vagrantfile (working one), in case it can be a help! Have fun! ###############

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  (6..8).each do |i|
       config.vm.define "node#{i}" do |node|
       node.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
#      config.vm.define "ansible"
#      config.vm.provision "ansible", playbook: "ubuntu.yml"
       node.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.0.3.#{i}", auto_config: true
#      config.vm.hostname = "node#{i}"
       node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
          # Do not load the command line GUI
          vb.gui = false
       file_to_disk = "node#{i}.vdi"
       unless File.exist?"node#{i}.vdi"
       vb.customize ['createhd', '--filename', file_to_disk, '--size', 20 * 1024]
  end

       # Virtual Machine Name
       vb.name = "node#{i}"
       vb.memory = "2512"
       vb.cpus = "2"
       # Network settings

For my side (MacOS), I get this issue consistently if I keep opened in virtualbox 6.1.12 the machine settings while running the vagrant destroy and deleting the disk file.

To solve it in 2 steps per this page :

  1. Get the UUID of the deleted disk
vboxmanage list hdds
  1. Purge the deleted disk :
vboxmanage closemedium disk <uuid> --delete

I also started getting a similar error the same time this question was opened.

I have found a temporary workaround:

  1. Do a vagrant up , which will stop with the VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS error
  2. Navigate to your VirtualBox VMs directory, which should have two subfolders - the base box folder and your target machines folder. In my case these were company-base_default_1546511806177_12809 and my-dev-vm respectively.
  3. Move the large .vmdk disk image file from the target folder back to the base box folder, which should still have the .vbox and .vbox-prev files inside.
  4. In the VirtualBox GUI open the settings for the base box VM and change the name to that of your target VM.
  5. Run vagrant up again.

I think this must be caused by a Vagrant incompatibility with VirtualBox 6, or a problem with the rename API.
