Issue loading lab
Hi,
I have trouble when I want to load a lab with CSR1Kv's in it.
Fx. the current one consists of 3 CSR's (Running Everest). When I start the lab, 2 of them loads just fine, but the 3rd one just hangs and never starts the booting process.
I tried turning off CPU limiting and everything else I could think of as well as stopping the individual problem node and starting it again, but to no avail.
Any tips/suggestions for troubleshooting this phenomenon?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Issue loading lab
each CSR need at least 1 core from your CPU and ate least 3G ram..
So your eve VM must have x8 virt CPU and 16G ram to get this lab UP !!!!!!

Re: Issue loading lab
Thanks for your reply.
My EVE VM has 100Gb of memory allocated to it, and its running on 8 cores in total, so it should be plenty to get these 3 up and running.
After I used the "wipe" function on the problem node, it started up just fine. So obviously something is up with it.
Can I provide any further information to troubleshoot this behaviour?

Re: Issue loading lab
then it is only your CPU weakness !!!
Above information is ok.
Your CPU simply cannot carry Everest more than 2 nodes..
How many Cores are assigned for EVE VM??
check your CPU
and what is your CPU model?
Like Intel Xeon 5680 or something...

Re: Issue loading lab
I have 2 CPU's in the box.
They are Intel X5570's.
I have 8 vCPU's assigned to the VM (its the only VM on the ESXi hypervisor).
Right now I have the lab started (after the wipe I mentioned) and its running the 3 Everest images just fine, with 38% CPU usage (using the Status page in EVE-NG) and without CPU limiting, so it certainly has the horsepower to run them stable enough. Its just the boot up process that doesn't work every now and again.
Thanks!

Re: Issue loading lab
everest is very heavy, try CSR 3.17 its the best for CPU as well
