You can create a file to exclude all the patterns you need

# cat x.txt
/proc/*
/dev/*
/run/*
/tmp/*
/sys/*
/mnt/*lol
/media/*
/lost+found
/var/lib/origin/
/gbt/
/registry/
*log

Then just rsync
# rsync -rtva –progress / 10.156.197.10:/a/ –exclude-from x.txt

These are the directories to mount:
# mount -o bind /proc /a/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /a/dev
# mount -o bind /sys /a/sys
# mount -o bind /run /a/run
# chroot /a /bin/bash

Once in, you may update your grub, but please check /etc/fstab before…
# grub2-install /dev/sda;grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

# rsync -av -f”+ */” -f”- *” /var/ 10.156.197.10:/a/var/

pam_tally2 –user<user name> –reset

If you want to package an existing vm to use it later as a clone, just run

# vagrant package

This will build a “.box” file of your vm, which you could put in a webserver to use it whenever you need to create another vagrant vm.

If you want to use the virtualbox console for your vagrant vms, you need to enable that feature in the “Vagrantfile” settings file, just add these lines

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
        v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--vrde","on"]
        v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--vrdeport","3389-4000"]
end

install virtualbox and vagrant first, then create a working directory

# mkdir /opt/vagrant
# cd /opt/vagrant/

Initialize the environment in the directory, in this case we’ll download a ubuntu precise vm

# vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
# vagrant box list

Edit Vagrantfile and make sure the vm points to “precise32” instead of “base”:

  config.vm.box = "precise32"

Start the vm

# vagrant init
# vagrant up

Connect to the vm

# vagrant ssh

Additional…
for a centos6.5 you can find a vm here:

# vagrant box add centos65 http://opscode-vm-bento.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/virtualbox/opscode_centos-6.5-i386_chef-provisionerless.box

Install it in the master node

# apt-get install ansible

add a section to /etc/ansible/hosts

[slaves]
d510
d610

Ping them (make sure you have ssh keys setup in authorized_keys)

# ansible -m ping -u root all
d510 | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

d610 | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

A first play file using apt to install some packages in the “slaves”
