Hi

Bare-metal setup
Eve-ng version : 2.0.3-110

Installing EVE-ng has been smooth for me and have not encounter big problems so far, the part that I have trouble with is starting IOL nodes from my backup lab.

I had backup the folders following guide
/opt/unetlab/addons/
/opt/unetlab/tmp/
/opt/unetlab/labs/
usually I would restore these folders and run the necessary commands for IOL to work(iourc, fix-permissions).

After restore, most of my lab nodes (windows server, ASA) works except the IOL nodes, which I could not start from my restored lab, and I have to create new IOL node to replace all. (**New IOL node is working, existing IOL nodes in lab start-and-stop)

This happens to me on few machines, and whenever i restore from my backup, i have to start from scratch for all my IOL nodes, replacing with new IOL nodes (as the restored lab IOL node is not starting)

I did tried to search around for similar issue but i couldnt find any, would seek if anyone have any similar experience
Thanks

need regenerate iourc lic on new eve

had generate iourc lic and should be working as whenever I create a new IOL node, it works.
The issue is when starting existing lab IOL nodes that it start-and-stop (Lab that i restored from backups).
Is there ways I could run/see the logs?

This can happen, because after migration, lab is looking previously saved NVRAM, which does not on new EVE
Slution:
right click wipe node
check if image is seleted properly and boot

UD, Wow!!! Thanks!
The nodes boot although all my config are gone (expected for "wipe node"), guess i was too lazy to make backup/restore of config and didnt even try to wipe everything.
Instead i recreate all new IOL nodes.......
But does this occurs whenever a restore is made? is it a norm thing?

IOL support export config feature, and after wipe you can buut it from exported configs easy
