nxos 9k boot issue

Post by kmanthezu » Mon Jul 13, 2020 2:04 am

I have been working to boot up 2 nxos 9k nodes in my lab. I keep running into the same issue. I can get only 1 to properly run. I can power 1 node and when its to the login screen, i then power up the second 9k node and it just sets in a loop and never loads. I have attempted numerous things, changed tpl qemu version, added more resources, interface types (e1000, etc) and wiped , etc.

and NOTE that every NXOS9K require x2 CPU and 8GB RAM
