I got this working! Big time share here. You will need 30+ physical CPU cores (64000mhz reservation) and 256 gig RAM. I actually installed this on a machine that only has 192gig RAM with a 2TB NVME (use THIN' on disk). This Catalyst Center is crazy. This system considers itself 'stable' around 111 processes running. You can look at the "installed" packages and make sure everything is 'DEPLOYED'. I have to find a way to get a new Certificate installed though; since the ones that come in this OVA install expired already. The only package that is "failed" is "AI Network Analytics". So we will have to find a way to upload a new certificate. Here is a link on the known error/reason for issue: This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up After I figure out how to fix this, there is 8 additional packages you can install. Very cool! I'm rebuilding my server though so I can get the full 256 gig RAM Thank you for sharing this!!

I was able to get this running with all mandatory packages DEPLOYED on ESXI6.5 with 48vCPU and 224 GB Ram on none-SSD disks. The trick is to: 1- convert the DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ova to a DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ovf with ovftool. (ovftool DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ova DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ovf) 2- edit DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ovf file and change VM hardware type to vmx-13 (<vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-13</vssd:VirtualSystemType>) ※The original DNAC-SW-2.3.7.4-VA.ova has hardware type vmx-14 which can only be deployed on ESXI7.0 and higher so change it to vmx-13 if you want to deploy on ESXI6.5 and to vmx-12 if you want to deploy to ESXI6.0. 3- after deploying the VM but before powering on, edit the settings and remove the hardcoded 64000mhz CPU reservation by changing it to "none" and hardcoded 256 gig RAM memory reservation by changing it to "none" 4- You can then give the DNACv VM more than the OVA file hardcoded 32 vCPUs to compensate for the weak CPU cores which cannot manage 64000mhz CPU reservation on 32 vCPUs. (For mine I gave it 48 vCPUs and that was enough to DEPLOY all applications on the DNACv and keep them running in a stable state) That's all. Good luck and happy labbing!!

benbu Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I used the same disk sizes (thin provisioned) and virtual nic configurations that were originally configured on the ova file. 4 nics = VNXNET 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
