8000v problems booting
I have successfully installed 8000v (so I thought ) and even had it configured for SDWAN and working fine. I powered it off and turned it back on, and now it won't boot. I followed the installation recommendations in the how to https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/docume ... yst-8000v/. It gets stuck on boot with the following message.
[vmxnet3][WR][vmxnet3_get_command_status]: Received request for unknown command: cafe000f
Any idea on how I can resolve this issue? I would really like to get the 8000v working on EVE-NG. I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you

Re: 8000v problems booting
I tried setting the qemu version to 5.2.0 with the same results. The router would not boot up all the way, it gets stuck. I also tried using qemu version 6.0 and same issue. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?
Thank you for your help on this.

Re: 8000v problems booting
next question is what is your CPU model assigned for EVE and how many cores??

I'm using two Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz on ESXi host where the EVE is running on. Virtual machines shows 8 CPU 2 core per socket.

Re: 8000v problems booting
First advice, set CPU to 24
and Cores per socket to 1
These are best recommended EVE VM settings

Re: 8000v problems booting
Hi Uldis, I tried changed the CPU count from 8 to 24 but I received an error. it looks like I need to upgrade my VMware license. Do you think the CPU count is contributing to this issue?
The error is
Failed - There are insufficient licenses to complete this operation.

Re: 8000v problems booting
Or run Eve on bare metal. I've seen way better experieces that way than my previous VMware and proxmox builds
