EVE-NG Community Edition in ESXI 6.7 - vSRX is very slow..

[TurboC]

Hi guys,

I installed EVE-NG (community edition) in a virtual machine managed by ESXI 6.7. It can virtualize many images without any kind of issue, but with juniper ones (for example with the "vsrx-12.1X47-D20.7-domestic"), it has some issue. there is something wrong with the control plane because it is very slow. to retrieve an output for example, it takes around one minute or more, .. how can I solve this issue?

I gave to EVE-NG 4 vCPUs (i7-10700) and 32 GB of RAM. The QEMU options for the vSRX image are the default ones (see the image attached).

Can you replicate the same issue with vMX for example or is it just the vSRX ?

no sorry, only the vSRX has this is issue..

use SRX 3.0

I just tried the last version available on the official site (20.4R1.12) and it worked! thanks for your reply, I didn't know about the vSRX3.0, but why don't the old versions work propely in my server? in another PC (not ESXI) they works.

vSRX non 3.0 need very heavy CPU setting and RAM for it.
vSRX 3.0 is specially designed for virtual environment and it just perfect.
Regarding features SRX 3.0 has totally same as that "full" image
