Disk problem and Nexus boot loader problem

Post by tlgklbr » Sat Apr 17, 2021 2:46 pm

Hello to everyone,

I have two problems.

1- My disc swells constantly in the EVE lab environment. I deleted it completely and re-added EVE-NG OVF files on ESXI 6.7, thinking it was due to the installation. So I did a clean install. Then I uploaded my VIOS images under /opt/unetlab/qemu. My total capacity was 200Gb and my usage area was around 60%. I opened a lab and just started the devices and put simple 1-2 configs in it. My disk usage rate turned out to be 62%. This is increasing over time. Is there any way to prevent this? Why is it constantly increasing?

2- I am working with Nexus 9k. When it is reloaded, it goes into boot state even when I turn it off and on or even when configuring. I boot the device again (nxosv9k-9.2.2 and nxosv9k-7.0.3.l7.4) I specify which IOS to boot when the device is turned on (boot nxos bootflash: nxosv9k-9.2.2) but after a while it drops back to loader. Is there a solution for this situation?

Thanks in advance.

new exus 9k 9.3.6 or later require x2 cpu and 16gb ram each node

Where can I find the nexus version 9.3?
I normally run it with 2 CPUs and 8Gb ram. I will try it with 16Gb ram. Thanks.

Does anyone in EVE have any idea about my disk problem?
