mkdir abc
cd abc

Step 3. Upload the downloaded tgz image to the EVE root/abc using for example FileZilla or WinSCP.

mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/riverbed-9.7.0-n6-vcx-x86_64

mv mgmt.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/riverbed-9.7.0-n6-vcx-x86_64/virtioa.qcow2

Step 7. Go to image folder and create second data HDD.

cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/riverbed-9.7.0-n6-vcx-x86_64
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2  virtiob.qcow2 100G
