Hi,
I am new to eve-ng/unl. I just installed eve-ng using the baremetal machine.
Installation went fine and I have manage to upload a timos image to the eve-ng server and have tried to boot the timos node. This is where i have run into issue.
I click and start the timos node but when i telnet to it, i get a a screen with a cursor and no text and pressing any key does not change anything in telnet session. i am using putty to telnet to the port provided by eve-ng.
How do I check if the 7750 timos is running? is there anything i can do on the server locally. I know this image works becuase I have booted it in GNS3 and it works in GNS3. I am wanting to switch to eve-ng but I cannot get timos working.
My server is a 6 core xeon with 16GB of memory.
I am trying to boot SROS/timos 14.0R7 version.
I have created following directory:
/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-14.0.R7
and have include following image insside the directory:
hda.qcow2

How do i debug this scenario to fix this issue?

Thanks for all your help

Launch your timos from Web interface

on cli:
Look into: /opt/unetlab/data/Logs/unl_wrapper.txt

You should see commands to run timos:
From Web UI, stop your timos then on cli,
go into the same directory

After run the same command.
You should see start ..... process used to start...

press ctrl+c
an launch the subcommand showed:
Now you should see on cli how timos works...

PS: btw I found a bug in templates of timos...

I will update template file for future release

in the meantime, change /opt/unetlab/html/templates/timos.php

and just before last line ( $p['qemu_options'] .= ' -serial mon:stdio -nographic -nodefconfig -nodefaults -rtc base=utc';) add :

$p['cpu'] = 2;
$p['qemu_options'] = '-machine type=pc-1.0,accel=kvm';

I followed your instructions and I get following error message which now explains why timos is not working on my system.
Any ideas how i fix this issue.

which type of CPU are U using ?

BTW, Don't have nokia access to d/l this release to test it...

Need some help from collaborators to get it and check requirements... But at first sight, this image needs a valid license to avoid reboot ( Old one 13, was able to run 60 min w/o lic )

That is of R13 SROS image:

Hi there,
I tried your suggestion of -cpu host. But still no luck,
I did manage to boot SROS (timos) version 12.0R6 but I cannot really use this version any more as this is a really old SROS version now and SROS is up to release 15 now. I need the advance features in release 14 which is what I am trying to boot up in eve-ng.
If it helps all the releases are working fine in GNS3 (looks like for now I will have to stick with GNS3, did really like the web interface concept of eve-ng). Here is the command that gets execute in GNS3 that boots up SROS 14.0R7 image.
Start QEMU with /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name R1 -m 2000M -smp cpus=2 -enable-kvm -machine smm=off -boot order=n -drive file=/home/project-files/qemu/hda_disk.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,media=disk -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:2000,server,nowait -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:37750,server,nowait -net none -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:00 -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:01,netdev=gns3-1 -netdev socket,id=gns3-1,udp=127.0.0.1:10000,localaddr=127.0.0.1:10001 -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:02,netdev=gns3-2 -netdev socket,id=gns3-2,udp=127.0.0.1:10002,localaddr=127.0.0.1:10003 -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:03 -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:04 -device e1000,mac=00:53:f7:90:47:05 -uuid <snip> -enable-kvm

I also noted that GNS3 uses QEMU version 2.5.0 eve-ng uses QEMU version 2.4.0. Not sure if this makes a difference.

Hope that helps and maybe someone can get to the bottom of this issue. Also note that release 14 onwards requires a license but without a license you can still boot up the image but you will not be able to configure anything on it, but you can still interact and just do show commands. In my case I am using it with license in GNS3 and this works fine.
I have used this tool to load the license into the image and also made the modification for release 14 regarding the memory requirement and after this the image works fine in GNS3. Here is the link:
https://gitlab.com/ALU/vsrlj
Once you have the R14 image working in eve-ng, you may want to implement something similar to this tool (vsrlj) to help with license integration.

I will keep an eye to see if this issue is fixed ion future and maybe give eve-ng another try.
Note I also tried Cisco xrv and had the similar issue with eve-ng.

I'm waiting the image to test next week.
We will find a fix quickly...

Stay tuned and many thanks for your help

Hi,
This is a qemu line I'm running TiMOS with:
$p['qemu_options'] .= ' -serial mon:stdio -nographic -nodefconfig -nodefaults -rtc base=utc -smbios type=1,product=\"TIMOS:slot=A chassis=SR-c12 card=cfm-xp mda/1=m10-1gb-xp-sfp\"’;

I removed type=pc-1.0 and left the system choose default. It did not want to boot with type=pc-1.0. Additionally latest releases of TiMOS are more memory hungry. Try 3GB, recommended by ALU/Nokia is 4GB. When you update this line, remember as well about the " " (space) between ' and - right before word serial.

Here is my configuration file for timos.
I have copied the line you suggested and pasted it in my config file but still cannot get sros to boot. I have also tried RAM to be 3GB but still no luck.
Does this match your config file if not can provide your timos config file. Thanks
