Issues with iosxrv and csr1000v qemu

Post by proitengineer » Fri Aug 24, 2018 6:49 pm

Hello World,

I've known EVE for a while now, but finally got around to deploying on ESXi 5.5. I know the EVE OVA isn't officially supported here, however, I was able to convert the vmdk/ovf and re-hash md successfully.

Works like a champ with vIOS, and I was able to get the qemu images for iosxr and csr1000v. Both csr and iosxr can be added as nodes, and I can even pull up console. But there is one major quirk that is driving me nuts:

The connector feature that resembles a "plug" icon is not present, so I cannot actually link two routers/objects together from the GUI :/

Pretty much makes the qemu instances useless. Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

The problem could be that you have not enabled EPT function on EVE VM.

what is output on EVE cli if you have issue command:
kvm-ok
?

but all how to add CSRv1000 following by video is published here.

Thanks for reply Uldis.

The output I get from that command is as follows:
# kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

As previously stated, I have no problem running the VMs, opening an HTML5 console, etc. But there is no UI feature to connect the routers :cry:

I'm pretty familiar with qemu ---- at least fundamentals, as *nix stuff, virtualization, etc. Not sure what I'm missing. Maybe something trivial?

Thanks!

Hi Uldis,

I submitted this info via chat, but never heard back. Kind of at an impasse.

I am using IOU and IOL images without any issues, and I can import qemu images no problem. There is just no animated icon to click and drag the plug to connect two devices ... when using IOS-XR or CSR1000v.

I'm using the latest Eve version from ova, published from the Eve site.

Man that stinks :/
