CML 2.1.2 and VMWare Player

[AnthonySpearman62556]

Hello, I am trying to setup my CML 2.1.2 for use with a CCNA course. I have downloaded VMware Player and created a VM with the OVA provided. When I linked the iso, during the configuration process it warned me that the reference platform image was not attached. If I try to create a VM just using the iso file by doing File >> New Virtual Machine >> .iso when I launch the machine, the boot process hangs at "starting dracut initqueue hook" and then times out. I have allocated 8gbs of ram and 4 cpu cores for the machine as recommend. What am I doing wrong?

So, I had to use the 2.1.2 ova with the 2.0 .ios inorder to get the CML to work. Trying to upgrade in the webGUI prevented the virl2 service from starting after the upgrade. I appreciate your patience trying to figure this out with me.

No matter what combo of files I use it doesn't work, why is this not intuitive and easy to figure out, anybody at cisco have any idea?

Thanks for posting this. I wasted so much time and this fixed my issue. I am running 2.2.2 OVA with 2.0 ISO to get CML working.

Thanks!

I am using CML 2.2.1 build 36 and refplat_p-20210511-fcs.iso
...but when i try to start nodes in cml, i get a message like this for any node type... iosv, xrv, xrv9k, csr1kv....

do you know why I am getting this message and why I can't start nodes?
