Nodes automatically starting and Won't stop(shutdown)

Post by atxparrothead » Wed Apr 15, 2020 3:14 pm

Hello. I'm trying to build out a Juniper lab with several vMX's and vQFX's. I've ran into a bizarre issue where I'll add a node(it can be either the vCP or vFP) and it will automatically start(or what appears to start as it turns blue and not grey). This does not happen on ever node I add, just random ones. If it starts automatically, I am unable to then stop it, even though I go through the process of doing so. It even says it's stopping up in the notifications area. With the node starting automatically and not stopping, I am unable to add network links to them. Anyone ever experienced this? Anyone know of a resolution?

It looks like something corrupted in the EVE, such obviously should not happen...
Well
apt install --reinstall eve-ng
if you have community
or for Pro
apt install --reinstall eve-ng-pro

reinstall does not kill your saved labs or works.
Just make sure all is stopped in the eve before reinstall.use cli command to stop all nodes in eve via CLI:

/opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a stopall
