Cisco SD-WAN 20.12 - create own SD-WAN lab from scratch?

[GlenGTR]

Hi all and apologies in advance if this topic has been covered here already (at least I couldnt find it) but I am working on the Cisco SD-WAN 20.12 and wanted to see if its possible to create my own SD-WAN lab from scratch? 
Ie - spinning up fresh vManager, vBond and vSmart Controllers etc. 

I tried to create a vManager via the "Manager" node but after I had followed the startup prompts (selecting the persona, formatting sdb 256 GB harddrive) the disk space within CML eventually goes all the way up to 100%. 

Thanks in advance for any help / info that you guys can give!

@GlenGTR you are correct there are a couple of sd-wan options, always on (ready only), reservation (admin access) both you cannot add anything else. However if you use the CML sandbox you can build your sd-wan fabric from scratch.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply @bigevilbeard. I'm still quite new to the CML lab and SD-WAN, are you able to tell me how I can create my vManage controller from scratch within CML? I think the way I was trying was wrong

There is a guide here. https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/2-7/cml-release-notes/ the sandbox might have the images already loaded in, so you could skip a a few steps, unless you want a newer image.

Hope this helps.

I have tried bit lower version in the Lab, works as expected :

CML i don't see any issue i guess it should be straight forward :

I will test later on CML 2.7 and let you know if come across any issue.
