Versions this guide is based on Single Nokia VSR node deployment:

EVE Image Foldename	Downloaded Filename	Version	vCPUs	vRAM	Console	NIC Type	Interfaces	Hdd Format	QEMU version
timos-ng-21.10.R2.L1	Nokia-VSR-KVM-21.10.R2.zip	21.10.R2	4	6144	telnet	virtio-pci	10	hda	5.2.0

Notes
Template: If you have the EVE Professional v5.0.20 or Community v5.0.19 or earlier, you have to update your EVE templates, and icons.Obtain the Nokia Timos templates, icon and config_script. Please follow the update GIT link before you start deploy Nokia Timos VSR node! GIT Update for templates, icons and config scripts. Other versions of Timos: VSR 19, 20, 21 also are supported following by instructions below. Current image Nokia-VSR-KVM-21.2.R2 and License is provided by Nokia. EVE Image foldername: For EVE-NG Qemu devices mandatory is the first part of foldername : [timos-ng-] . After the hyphen (-) you can add any of your image version or custom name (License nr). Example for version 22.2.R2 with License, VSR foldername will be: [timos-ng-22.2.R2.L1]. L1 means, it is licensed image with my first Nokia image license. You can create several images with different license loaded in it. Example for another image foldername is: [timos-ng-22.2.R2.L2]. L2 is another license for your Nokia node image. VSR License: Each Nokia VSR node has its own “UUID-locked” license file, all the license records in that license file are locked to a specific UUID value (readable as cleartext), and this license file is intended for the specific VSR system that runs in a KVM with that UUID value. Nokia VSR image is not in use if you have not a valid license for it. Please contact to your sales or support representative.

Creating VSR image:

Instructions
1. SSH to EVE and login as root, from cli and create image directory in the EVE’s /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu: mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1 2. Extract/Unzip the Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip Unzip downloaded Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip to obtain sros-vsr.qcow2. You can either use your native host (windows PC), or use EVE cli to unzip Nokia image zip package. In the example below, Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip is extracted by native PC using unzip tool, and necessary image is located in directory: Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2\vm\VSR-KVM\sros-x86-64\sros-vsr.qcow2. 3. Upload the sros-vsr.qcow2 image into the EVE using, for example, FileZilla or WinSCP. 4. Rename it to: hda.qcow2 cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1 mv sros-vsr.qcow2 hda.qcow2 root@eve-ng-master:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1# ls hda.qcow2 5. Fix permissions: /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions

1. SSH to EVE and login as root, from cli and create image directory in the EVE’s /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu:

mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1

2. Extract/Unzip the Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip

Unzip downloaded Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip to obtain sros-vsr.qcow2. You can either use your native host (windows PC), or use EVE cli to unzip Nokia image zip package.
In the example below, Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2.zip is extracted by native PC using unzip tool, and necessary image is located in directory: Nokia-VSR-KVM-22.2.R2\vm\VSR-KVM\sros-x86-64\sros-vsr.qcow2.

3. Upload the sros-vsr.qcow2 image into the EVE using, for example, FileZilla or WinSCP.

4. Rename it to: hda.qcow2

cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1
mv sros-vsr.qcow2 hda.qcow2
root@eve-ng-master:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/timos-ng-22.2.R2-L1# ls

Single Nokia VSR node template settings:

Template area	Value	Notes
UIDD	Customizable. Releated to your VSR license.	Very important. It is related to your Nokia VSR license. Usually it is first part of your license text string. Example for this Nokia license UIDD is: 4a2aa800-282d-45dc-a0b3-ce0c05ab9df. It must be set in VSR template before you start the node.
Management Address	Default template value IP: 10.1.1.1/24 Customizable IP per your network needs.	Management IP address field is used to connect your VSR to the management network. During the boot the VSR, management IP can be used as FTP, SFTP or TFPT server to obtain and boot VSR from license located on remote server.
Timos Line	Default template value: slot=A chassis=sr-1s card=cpm-1s slot=1 card=xcm-1s mda/1=s18-100gb-qsfp28 Customizable value per your VSR setup and Nokia documentation.	This line can be customized per Nokia documentation for VSR boot parameters and version settings. Please refer the Nokia vSIM Guide v22.2.R1
Timos License Path	Default template value: cf3:lic. Customizable. The cf3:lic value is used to boot VSR from preloaded license in the VSR image. To boot VSR from remote License, edit the license path with management IP address and protocol respectively.	Preloaded license path in the VSR: cf3:lic Remote license path is related to the configured Management IP: ftp://admin:admin@10.1.1.1/lic.tx tftp://10.1.1.1/lic.txt
