[Freeipa-users] DNS operation timed out when installing IPA with forwarders

[Geselle Stijn]

Hello fellow FreeIPA users,

I'm trying to setup FreeIPA in a lab environment (VirtualBox):


-          ad.example.com (Windows Server 2008 R2) - 192.168.1.1

-          ipa.example.com (CentOS 7.2) - 192.168.1.2
Both machines can ping each other, DNS resolving works:

[root at ipa ~] nslookup ad
Server:         192.168.1.1
Address:     192.168.1.1#53

Name:     ad.example.com
Address: 192.168.1.1


I executed:

yum install -y "*ipa-server*" bind bind-dyndb-ldap
ipa-server-install --domain=example.com --realm=EXAMPLE.COM --setup-dns --forwarder=192.168.1.1

But the installation wizard fails at:

Checking DNS forwarders, please wait ...
ipa            : ERROR   DNS server 192.168.1.1: query '. SOA': The DNS operation timed out after 10.00124242 seconds
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR     DNS server 192.168.1.1: query '. SOA': The DNS operation timed out after 10.00124242 seconds


Is there some way I can better troubleshoot this? Can I increase the DNS timeout (maybe it's simply slow via VirtualBox).


Thank you!
