I am unable to start even a single XRv9k router in an empy sandbox lab. Either the router or CML VM is continuously crashing before the booting completes. Crashing continues in a loop, see attached image.
No config, no links, no nothing
@franklaszlo check this thread here for the error you see https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-sandbox/ios-xrv-9000-fails-to-boot-in-devnet-cml/td-p/5141544 - to make this work you need 64gb ram and 14 vcpus see this thread https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-sandbox/ios-xrv9k-stuck-in-boot-loop/td-p/5155593
Hope this helps.
Thank you @bigevilbeard for this reply. I think I did try increasing resources but I have to retest it. Unfortunately I am unable to reach the lab since then, it is operating at capacity continously and Cisco has not been able to add back the reservation scheduler since they beautified the UI, which was completely unnecesary if we lose functionality.
@franklaszlo yah its been a popular sandbox even since it was the virl sandbox. Even when the team add more instances of CML and increase the capacity (twice this year I believe already) it gets reserved. From what I read it’s not the sandbox with the issue, its as you noted the new front end. Do you have access to Cisco dCloud? That might be an option
Yes, it's the frontend that doesn't provide the option anymore - despite the fact it is labeld "reservable" - to reserve the lab.
Never used dCloud, I am goint to check, thanks for pointing out.
