CML 2.6.1 Very slow boot network Devices in Labs

[DariuszD]

Hi everyone

I started use Cisco CML 2.6.1 and i have problem with VERY SLOW boot network devices in LAB. One router IOSv boot 20 minutes, when i create lab witch 2xRouters (IOSv) and 2x Switches(IOSvL2) i cant enabled all devices. To VmWare player 17 and CML2 VM I using my laptop DELL latitude 5440 CPU:i7-1365U RAM:64GB DDR4/3200.Is it possible that this laptop has too weak hardware for CML 2.6.1 support ?
In VM settings i have setting probably everything good "support intel virtualization VT-x/EPT" RAM:16GB, CPU:12 cores

is the installed as VM or bare metal ?

If this is VM  Try increasing the RAM to 32GB and Make sure any Antivirus installed disable and test it.

Thank you for your reply :-). It's VM with CML install on my laptop , I turn off my antivirus (eset node32) and increase RAM for CML Vm to 32GB RAM. Still same problem all devices added to LAB turn on very very slow
