CSR1000V takes hours to boot

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

CSR1000V takes hours to boot

Post by Zedd1 » Thu Jun 07, 2018 7:20 am

Hello

I set up a lab with 16 CSR1000v. I do not start them all at the same time but I need to have 11 of them running. My environment can cope with this: iMAC with 48G of RAM.
When I start 9 of the CSR1000, they take about 1/1.5 hour to boot, I can work with that. But the extra 2 devices take about 3 hours to boot. That is half a day to boot a working lab. Is there something I can do to speed things up?

FYI, I deactivated UKSM, I didn't notice any real difference.

Any help would be appreciated

its your antivirus mate...
Please disable on it virtualization check.
Like in Avast it is under Settings/Troubleshooting/virtualization

Disable it and all will be ok

Hi UD

Thanks for your reply. I do not have any anti-virus installed, one of the perks of using a MAC.
I'm not sure if there is an built-in feature that could create problems like that.
I'll have a look around, in the meantime, any other ideas are welcome. :)

make sure your eve VM is set at least x4 CPU and 8G RAM, then CSR will run
