Can anyone instruct me on how to make the following versions of vSRX and vQFX run on EVE?
Here's the images I have:
[vSRX]
media-vsrx-vmdisk-15.1X49-D80.4.ide.ova
media-vsrx-vmdisk-15.1X49-D80.4.qcow2
[vQFX]
vqfx10k-pfe-20160609-2.vmdk
vqfx10k-re-15.1X53-D63.vmdk
As for vQFX, the instruction at
http://networkop.co.uk/blog/2016/10/26/qfx-unl/ is a bit old and I could not run the images on the latest version of EVE.
And about vSRX, the instruction in the FAQ page is for version 12.x (firefly) and, again, I could not run it on EVE.

for vSRX take only qcow image.
Do from cli
1. mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-15.1X49-D80/
2. then using winscp or filezilla copy your file media-vsrx-vmdisk-15.1X49-D80.4.qcow2 to this dir.
3. Rename it to hda.qcow2
4. Fix permissions.
For vQFX.
1. Create 2 directories:
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10k
and
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10k
2. using winscp or filezilla copu both vmdk files each in perticular directory, PFE and RE
3. from cli prepare PFE image
from cli:
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10k
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 vqfx10k-pfe-20160609-2.vmdk hda.qcow2
delete source image:
rm vqfx10k-pfe-20160609-2.vmdk
4. from cli prepare RE image
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10k/
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 vqfx10k-re-15.1X53-D63.vmdk hda.qcow2
rm vqfx10k-re-15.1X53-D63.vmdk
5. fil permissions.
now create lab, add both nodes on topology, interconnect them with em1, and run, it takes time to boot and register both nodes with each other.

Hi all,
for vQFX D63 you can't use the vmdk image from Juniper - that Info is not true - the D63 vmdk Version is broken...
Use the Vagrant Package for Virtualbox (VQFX10K Routing Engine), unzip it twice and it will show you a working vmdk file (
