SSH to EVE-NG

root@eve-ng:~# cd /opt/unetlab/html/includes/

Copy the sample config file to new file (config.php):

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/html/includes# cp config.php.distribution config.php

Edit the config file as follow:

<?php /* TEMPLATE MODE .missing or .hided  *  * .hided: will hide all template not present on system ( no image installed )  * .missing: will display not selectable template not present ( no image installed )  *  */ DEFINE('TEMPLATE_DISABLED','.missing') ; /* Define custom templates:  *  * Create for exemple /opt/unetlab/html/templates/mytemplate.php and Create  /opt/unetlab/html/templates/othertemplate.php  * Then uncomment lines below  */          $custom_templates = Array( 'arubacx' => 'Aruba CX Switch' ); ?>

Notes: EVE Community cookbook section 12.3

Next steps below are based on ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001_ova.zip creation, for other image deployment, use proper names respectively.

1. Download  ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001_ova.zip. The Aruba account is required to obtain this image.

2. SSH to EVE and login as root, from cli and create temporary working directory abc on the EVE's root:

root@eve-ng:~# mkdir abc
root@eve-ng:~# cd abc

3. Upload the downloaded OVA image to the EVE root/abc using for example FileZilla or WinSCP.

4. Unzip and Extract OVA image, for further use we will need on vmdk image which is inside OVA.

root@eve-ng:~/abc# unzip ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001_ova.zip

Archive:  ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001_ova.zip

  inflating: ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001.ova  

 extracting: ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001.ova.sig  

root@eve-ng:~/abc# tar xvf ArubaOS-CX_10_04_0001.ova

arubaoscx-disk-image-genericx86-p4-20190731183117.ovf

arubaoscx-disk-image-genericx86-p4-20190731183117.vmdk

root@eve-ng:~/abc#

5. Convert vmdk (red) hdd to the qcow2 format.

/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 arubaoscx-disk-image-genericx86-p4-20190731183117.vmdk virtioa.qcow2

6. Create new image folder

mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/arubacx-10.04

8. Move your created prepared image files virtioa.qcow2 to the image directory

mv virtioa.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/arubacx-10.04/

9. Delete temporary directory abc and fix permissions

root@eve-ng:~/abc# cd
root@eve-ng:~# rm -rf abc
root@eve-ng:~# /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions

Username and password for newly created image will be admin/ <NO PASSWORD>
