NXOS9K

Post by machaen » Fri Nov 30, 2018 7:58 pm

I have a MACBOOK PRO 16 GB RAM, im running the eve-ng on vmare fusion.
I followed the steps exactly like HOW TO... to run a NXOS9K but when I start the device, after two sec the device STOPS...
I have enabled the VT-x /EPT and I can not run the image.

Please help me...the image that I have used is nxosv9k-7.0.3.I7.4
I was wondering maybe I need more RAM, but before to spend more money on RAM MEMORY, i want to be sure what is the problem...

EVE priorities to run heavy images like NXOS9K

1. CPU cores. As more your CPU has cores as better.
2. Fast HDD, like SSD or SHDD
3. and olny then is RAM. RAM will be useless if your CPU could not hold node.

Singlle NX9K version mentioned in your post require x2CPU and 8Gb RAM.

I assume you have MACOSX with x4 CPU (threads) and 16G RAM. So make sure you have enabled Intel VT-x/EPT on your EVE VM.
To check if it is allright, issue on eve cli command:
kvm-ok
it must show that acceleraton is enabled.

Next, image can stop, if you didn't prepare it right. Please follow this how to.
