active environments launched from this blueprint reached

[andrewcode3]

Unable to launch sandbox.  Trying to run Cisco modeling lab.  Get Limit for active environments launched from this blueprint reached.  Please try later.  I have been trying for 3 days, different time of days, no luck.  Any advice?

Hi Derek, still have issues with another message "Environment Launch was Denied" by trying several times of clicking, and never had been getting permission as you mentioned. May please help, thanks!

If you use an incognito browser this resolves most issues.

Hi, I did with using incognito Chrome but still got the same failure as shown, please help, thanks!

[bigevilbeard]

I was replying to @Derek Cooke by using an incognito browser. The issue you mentioned/see has been advised by the sandbox team and is shown as all reservations are currently full for this Sandbox.

Hope this helps.

Hi @jokearns1 . We're now 2 weeks later and I'm still getting Launch was Denied. Is there an ETA on when this will be fixed and/or a reservation system installed?

[jokearns1]

Hi, 

We have increased the capacity of CML labs  but we will never be able to fully meet demand for this particular lab. 
Noora, can you try scheduling again when you get a chance? You may pick up a lab now. 
Let us know how that goes.

Joe

All, 

CML capacity increased today again and the max reservation time reduced to 3 days. This should help.

Hi Joe, Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately still no luck. I tried to access that lab for the last couple of days, doesn't matter what time of the day I tried but got the same result. It also doesn't let me schedule the lab. A pop-up window says 'Environment Launch was Denied.'

I am having the same issue. My instance has been trying to terminate for 3 days now and I am unable to launch a new one. https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/DevNet/sandboxes/FtKpr3Vh1Fhf/simplified/quickAccess

@juanbh255 would suggest open or start a new thread with this information for support with your issue.

Hope this helps

So for the last 2 or 3 months that this has been occurring:

1) Has ANYONE been able to access Cisco Modeling Labs or any of the other environments available on DevNet?  

2) Does the message Launch was denied mean that there are no open slots at the time?  

3) Since there is no scheduler, do we have to keep hitting Launch throughout the day in the hopes of hitting it when a slot becomes available?

4) What do the other messages like There was a problem fetching your workflows mean?  Could it be related to our account and not the issue with DevNet Sandboxes?  

5) Could all of this be resolved by adding a scheduler and if so how soon could that happen?  

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your time and help.  And this has always been a great tool to use in the past.  But maybe it's time to give up on seeing this work as well as it did before.  

Thank you

1) I have. So far I've been able to grab 2 separate CML instances on different days.
2) Yes, if you get a message saying the launch was denied, you're getting that because all slots are occupied. At the time of writing, there are 30 slots.
3) Kindof, but I've gotten those CML spots by checking on the page at the right time of day (by pure chance)
4) I've only ever gotten the denied message on a consistent basis. There was another message, but that was when Cisco was in the process of transitioning over to the new platform.
5) I can't answer this question. I don't work for Cisco. Maybe a Cisco employee can chime in on this question.

@msanghera6   Thanks for the reply.  It helps to know if it's really working for someone else.  Otherwise it feels like I'm just banging my head on the wall when it doesn't work.  I will keep trying.  It really is a great tool to use and I would hate having to forego using it.  Let's hope Cisco is able to resolve the issue soon.

I will reach out to you 1-1 and see can we help. I realise booking can be hit or miss.

Hi Jokeams1, I'm preparing my CISCO ENCOR and failing to launch the free CML on sandbox since a week now at different time of the day. Please help me.
