Device not able to boot

Post by preizmslacker » Tue Dec 10, 2019 1:59 am

Hi Guys,

May I ask a question regarding the NXOS. I followed the steps on how to install eve-ng and how I may upload the IOS.

However when I start the node. it is usually gray and when you hit start it will change to blue. But still no reaction from the device.

1. Your EVE must have enabled Intel VT-X/EPT fuction on the CPU. Check EVE cookbook install steps for it.
2. make sure if image is prepared correctly

Are you booting an UEFI version of Nxos ? 9.x ?
Check your /opt/unetlab/data/Logs/unl_wrapper.txt file after starting the node or tail -f it as starting the node.

Look for the bios option the template is attempting to use.
such as
-bios /opt/qemu/share/qemu/OVMF-sata.fd

Now check for the existence of that bios file.
If that file does not exist you will get the observed behavior. Turns blue followed closely by grey out.

it is wrong advice.
you must strictly follow how to and use ready cisco qcow2 image, rnaming it to sataa.qcow2
Thats it.
No any extra qemu options need to add .
