Hi,

I have a bare bones install. I have been given a UML template.

I can import the template fine and all the nodes boot. The nodes are CSR, XRv, and IOL nodes.

However, if i shutdown the nodes and attempt to boot them again later they will not start.

Saving or not saving the configs on the initial boot makes no difference . /var/log/syslog has nothing in it when i select the node to start.

The UML template has been imported and there is already a base config on it.

Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot the issue further?

Thank you in Advance.

What does it mean "I import template?"

imagaes maybe?

And no such issues if you will follow EVE Cookbook, how to build lab, save configs and work after on it

As per the EVE-Comm-BOOK-5.1-2022.pdf

Page 75, "import a lab". The uml file is zipped.

The labs works find and the nodes boot. However, they will not boot when I revisit the lab. They just sit there gray, even when asked to start.

when you worked first time and as you are saying it worked fine
How did you finish your wrk with lab?
simply powering off EVE VM???

I power down the hosts using the webpage.

This issue presents itself before the physical host is shut down.

Other labs i make myself do not have this issue. Nor do nodes i add to the lab

One thing i have noticed is that there is a little ! in a triangle next to the host names when they will not boot

Further to my previous post:-
wiping the node, changing the startup config to None, then booting the work fine..

From here i can paste exactly the same configuration in and the node will work fine between reboots.

So there is something wrong which the nodes config, i'm guessing when i save the configs. I will confirm and report back

Nope it doesn't matter if i save the configs or not. The CSRs will not boot from the exported configuration. the XRvs seem okay. However, they have done this to me too before on the same lab (it's my first time using someone elses and importing).

It's clearly a bug because how can it boot once but not another time with no config change?

I can share the lab with a mod if it would help debugging?

As a work around. I can see the config from the startup-configs menu. So i can pull it from there, wipe the node,change the startup config to none, boot the wiped node and paste the same config back in.

It is not bug case, but your hands, sorry

Look: better please visit EVE Live support chat for such discussions..
This ping pong in forum is useless, because we don't know what you did and how....

better to sort it at once, probably some EVE expert even will join to you remotely to sort you up

I'm still hitting this bug. on the i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms.155-2.T.bin images the node will boot, yet crash after a few minutes.

Again, the workaround is to copy the startup config, wipe the node, boot it and paste in the copied config.

"It is not bug case, but your hands, sorry" , if importing a lab and pressing the start is my hands then sure. However, I'm far from convinced.
