Nodes Start & Stop

Post by DreamTFK » Thu Aug 29, 2024 2:53 pm

I am having an issue on our Eve-Pro physical server where nodes start and then stop. At first I thought it was IOL only.

I have followed the instructions in this guide and generated the license file (including the semicolon). I fixed permissions. I verified virtualization is enabled in BIOS.

I am trying to boot up L3-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M-15.4-2T.bin which is one of the recommended images, but it still stops right after starting. I also tried booting a vIOS and XR image but it does the same thing. I tried doubling the memory as well.

How can I find logs of what is happening?

First issue if qemu nodes won't start, you forgot to enable on your EVE VM CPU nested virtualization...
Where eve is installed? what platform?
IOL node won't start if you have not iourc lic loaded for IOL

I have verified the Intel Virtualization is enabled. I'm not aware of any other virtualization option to check. This is a physical server.

Where eve is installed? what platform?
The OS is Ubuntu

OL node won't start if you have not iourc lic loaded for IOL
I have followed the exact instructions shown in the link I provided. I used the python script to generate and put it into a file including the semicolon.
As I said, vIOS, XR also do the same thing.
