Can ya check to make sure the image downloaded correctly? Verify the image with 'qemu-img':
root@q-jlab-01a:/var/home/abstine/images# qemu-img info vJunos-switch-25.2R1.9.qcow2
image: vJunos-switch-25.2R1.9.qcow2

I have a question about vJunos-switch 25.2R1. I downloaded it to EVE and copied it to a vjunosswitch-25.2 directory as virtio.qcow2. It comes up, but tries to do a iPXE boot. After trying a number of times, it says "No bootable device." and just hangs. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
Now on vJunos-Router and vJunos-Switch pending on startup-config script feature. Like vMX-VCP and vQFX-RE it have startup-config script. Hopefully someone expert in .yml can do for vJunos-Router and vJunos-Switch.
Thanks

Hi all
i assume then since i 've used the below options in the template for my AMD machine to boot the vJunosSwitch (not impressed as it's slow in my VM EVE-NG equipment instead of recommended bare metal ), the same options can be applied for the EVE-NG template for vJunosRouter for AMD equipment:
-smbios type=1,product=VM-VMX
-cpu IvyBridge,ibpb=on,spec-ctrl=on,ssbd=on,virt-ssbd=on,svm=on,erms=off

vJunos-router and vJunos-switch are the same base image/setup (both Junos), so their network and QEMU setup is similar. vJunosEvolved is a different beast - its a virtual PTX based on EVO.

Hi Art,
this is the qemu option and the template I use. it works.
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -serial mon:stdio -nographic -smbios type=1,product=VM-VMX,family=lab -cpu IvyBridge,ibpb=on,md-clear=on,spec-ctrl=on,ssbd=on,vmx=on

Can you share the serial console from your hung router instance? And the QEMU cmd line that EVE generated. Thanks

Hi @Art Stine ,
Thanks for your action. My issue was vjunos-router can be spin up. and i'm just tweak template from vjunos-switch. But after finish loading then after 2-3 minutes it will hung. So i think it related to template in EVE-NG not exactly correct. I will wait the correct template from u.
Thanks again.

I'll get one of the guys to spin a EVE-NG template for vJunos-router - its not much different from vJunos-switch as they are basically the same image modulo tweaks for chassis type.
