Error when running "virl generate nso" from Sandbox Lab

[charllia]

Hi Devnet Community,

I'm currently running the Multi-IOS Cisco Test Network Lab Sandbox Lab and coming across an error when trying to run the command "virl generate nso"

The error is:

[developer@devbox ~]$virl generate nso
Updating NSO....

Exception raised while running your command
Please open an issue and provide this info:
HTTPConnectionPool(host='10.10.20.50', port=8080): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/config/devices/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f247446fdd8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

I tried running this command on different available virl topologies (ie -  virlfiles/2-ios-router |  virlfiles/core-dist-access) but with the same result.

Any ideas from any how this can be fixed so I can do some NSO labbing?

Any feedback is most appreciated.

Regards,

Charles

You need to launch up "nso server" in devbox before running "virl generate nso" command. Please check https://github.com/DevNetSandbox/sbx_multi_ios/tree/master/nso-with-ansible/packages/pipe-yaml for ncsc cmdlet.

Thanks for that.

For this instance, to get it working (for other's reference), the below is done:

1)source /opt/nso/ncsrc

2)create a directory for NCS logs and files and within this directory run "ncs-setup --dest ."

3)start ncs daemon - "ncs" and confirmation daemon is working by running "ncs --status"

Now once above is done there's no more error messages by running "virl generate nso" which adds the VIRL devices to NSO.

Cheers
