Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE in Vagrant

I got the following error when trying to start Vagrant instance.

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant

for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

Stderr: 0%...

Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE

VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory

VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterface, interface IHostNetworkInterface

VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleCreate(HandlerArg*, int, int*)" at line 68 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp

I could get this resolved by following action.

I have set up Vagrant cluster and there was one VM that is not running on Vagrant opened and running in VirtualBox. Issue might be due to that as well.

Restart Virtualbox using the following command:

sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
