Popular Post Loki Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys!!!! Here is the DNAC ISO, you all are waiting for. I got it from a secrete source. Requires 32 Core, 192 Gig RAM (DDR4) and 1.5 SSD HDD (Doesn't work on SATA, requires a writing speed of 500+ MB/s) While installing the CPU jumps to 100% and RAM approx 185 GIG, but after installation it comes down to 30%. and RAM 120gig. Don't upgrade or update packages. I think it is more than sufficient for CCIE EI Lab. I have tested it on my server. Please don't ask me silly things. Everything is on Google. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Enjoy Labbing it. Edited July 28, 2021 by Loki 318 59 6 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

certway4life Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I want to order a used cisco UCS c220 M4 server with 192 GB DDR4 3.2TB SAS SSD and 48 vCPU. Any suggestion this will work or not?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Loki Posted July 29, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) @hikaru When you install the DNAC that time it uses lot of resources like CPU and RAM. Because of the below: (see how many packages are there) Some of them Open source. Cisco combined it to make one Single Appliance. It takes 3-4 hours to Install on a Fast server. On low end takes 6-8 hours Once you Finish installing then when you use package in LAB say : SD-ACCESS then it uses the CPU and RAM according to its requirements. Hope you get it. This weekend if get time I'll upload all screenshots with a small lab runnning Edited July 29, 2021 by Loki 55 13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go fro DELL or Assemble it if possible I agree, one of my senior said and prove me that the amount of money that you can save with that, and you don't lose performance (Both are quiet if configured correctly) But UCS it's good too, but it's to much money to have one!

masterjack Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 @Loki Possible to export the VM you successfully installed and upload online ? I have tried to install on 40 Core server with 128GB of RAM , however it failed . I guess I can use yours since after initial installation it wont use about 128 GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to make an OVF /OVA file. But it is time consuming Already it is taking 460 G of Hard-disk space. (thin Provisioned) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Loki Posted July 29, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) @masterjack Did you try to upgrade? Please do not upgrade or update: Try the below method After installation reboot and wait for minimum 30-40 minutes. Then login (ssh port 2222)with maglev as user and password you provided. then check: $ maglev package status Here you will see 2 columns names named DEPLOYED and AVAILABLE. The DEPLOYED version will be like 2.1.81.60012 and AVAILABLE is something like 2.1.81.60036. This is the Catch. Cisco wants you to install the AVAILABLE one. So it goes to " This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up " page (something like that) Now Disconnect the Internet. and use the package already showing you as DEPLOYED: $ maglev package deploy <name of the package:version number> for example: $ maglev package deploy automation - base: 2.1.81.60012 It starts deploying the already available packages & versions came along with the ISO. This is a trick played by cisco to sell the hardware. Why you want to update unnecessary? It doesn't make any difference in Lab environment. Also don' t install Version 2.x , because it requires smart licensing and some packages are must download from Cisco site. Yes for industry, you require real gear. Some of the useful maglev commands: cat /etc/network/interfaces route -n | more $ sudo maglev login -u admin -p (password) -c (ip addrress):443 $ maglev package status $ maglev catalog package display $ magctl node status $ maglev system_updater update_info $ maglev catalog package status network-visibility $ magctl service nodescale progress $ magctl appstack status $ magctl appstack status | grep postgres $ maglev catalog settings display $ maglev catalog settings validate $ maglev catalog check_for_updates $ magctl dns config show $ nslookup catalogserver.maglev-system.svc.cluster.local $ nslookup www.ciscoconnectdna.com $ nslookup registry.ciscoconnectdna.com $ wget This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up $ wget This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up $ curl -Is This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up | head -n 1 $ curl -Is This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up | head -n 1 Edited July 29, 2021 by Loki 145 31 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
