Hello,
Looks like the release notes for 4.3.2 indicate an upcoming download for XRv (XR4U?). 4.3.2 is available for download now for ASR9000 and CRS. Anyone know when we might see a download for XRv?
It will be nice to have a couple of these VMs running in a lab.
Solved! Go to Solution.

That would be awesome Richard, trying GNS3 and virtual box got me all burnedout.

Have you looked at the GNS3 forum - there's a least one thread on XRv:

Oh yes ! Got a machine up and booting, then it gets stuck. Same routine works fine on a windows machine, but not on a mac where I have loads more memory. Concluded, must be GNS3 on maverick which is bugged.

Hi Richard,
Do you have in pointers or links for tutorials on how to hookup 2 XRV machines ?
Any clues will be much appreciated.

Folks,
I'm one of the XRv development leads. As has been mentioned on this thread already, Cisco IOS XR 5.1.1 software is *LIVE on CCO*.
This includes over 100 new feature offerings supported across multiple platforms including new platform support for XRv.
I've been collecting customer 5.1.1 links for XRv, and it's growing so I may add more (there are some minor changes to the release notes and the data sheet to come - bear with us as we don't release new platforms - even virtual ones - too often). Note that the demo image is free to use and the download works. The production images require the correct PIDs (I'll post more on this later).
I hope this product is useful, and we'll have many more features to come in future releases (HA for example...).
Thanks,
Rich Wellum (rwellum@cisco.com)

Hi Rwellum,
There seems to be issues with the download links on CCO. Any idea when this might be fixed?
02-12-2014 03:20 AM
Yes there were issues with 'partner entitlement', while some could download - others couldn't. I'm being told they are setting up a new server with better access and this will take a couple of days. I'll post here as soon as I see it up and stable.
02-11-2014 06:55 PM
I'm also finding no trace of this software on Cisco's website. Looks like it's been pulled
02-11-2014 09:30 PM
There were issues with the download because it required additional entitlement. From what I heard Cisco had to pull the file for a couple of days to fix this issue.

Hi rwellum,!
Does Cisco IOS XR 5.1.1 support HA?Just two VMs, one is primary and the other is slave, does that possible? And how? If that possible,then we can do HA lab, GR/SSO/NSR...
Thans!
05-12-2014 04:49 AM
HA is coming in our next release (5.2.2) including LC's. Because of the additional complexity (multiple images, underlying plumbing of connections etc) - I am not sure of the exact support model in the demo image yet. This would not be a production offering because obviously being a VM solution there is no hardware dataplane. But either way it is coming very soon. Please reach out if you need further information.
Thanks,
||Rich
