Nexus 9k switches only allowing 1 at a time

[hewkurt]

Hello,

I've successfully deployed a nexus v9k using firmware 9.3.11 (nexus9300v.9.3.11.qcow2), but when I try to start another one with the original powered on, I run into errors on boot. It seems like I can only have one powered on at a time. Does anyone know if I should be using different firmware, or maybe eve-ng doesn't work well in azure? I also tried this on my desktop (only 16gb of ram and 16vcpus) and ran into the same errors using virtualbox and vmware player.

I'm using an azure vm: Standard D8s v4 (8 vcpus, 32 GiB memory)

I've also tried with these other versions of the firmware:
nxosv-final.7.0.3.I7.10.qcow2
nexus9300v64.10.3.3.F.qcow2

Any help is appreciated!

Scroll down this page and read what you must do on nexus to have it boot normally

Hi,

I actually did do that. I apologize, I did the "boot nxos bootflash:nxos.7.0.3.I7.4.bin" and copy run start on all switches individually. It's just running multiple that was giving me problems.

I actually was able to boot up to 3 while setting the cpus to only 2. I'm going to try to set the switch cpus to 1 and see if i can get them all to boot.

No,
CPU must be 2
and RAM for all newest Nexus need more than 8192M, better 16GB RAM.
Also this command for every Nexus version is individual boot nxos bootflash:nxos.xxxxxx

Azure, well this cloud still is not in the EVE supported list

Thank you very much! I was able to get all 4 to completely boot with 13GB of RAM in an azure Dv4_16s virtual machine. I appreciate your help!
