7250 IXR-e close to working

[rp-nz]

Ok the issue described below is now fixed:
Found the issue why the line card was failing to boot. It it is multicore (smp) line card and requires at least 2 vcpus to boot.
Edited the vrnetlab.py file and added following, -cpu host and the important one -smp 2.

       self.qemu_args.extend(
            [
                "-m",
                str(ram),
                "-serial",
                "telnet:0.0.0.0:50%02d,server,nowait" % self.num,
                "-drive",
                "if=ide,file=%s" % overlay_disk_image,
                "-cpu",
                "host",
                "-smp",
                "2",
            ]
        )

Hi Roman,
Nice work on getting support for the recent version of the Nokia VSIMs within vrnetlab.
I taken the latest copy (your fork) of the vrnetlab and as shown below I have tried to add the Nokia 7250 IXR-e variant.
While the 7250 IXR-e is a fixed form factor node but the VSIM requires two VMs, i.e. distributed mode of operation.
I have this working on eve-ng using a CPM and IMM based VMs.
Based on the changes below the VMs boot with docker but I get following message in the CPM VM:
As you can see the card has failed.
I am not sure why this is when what i can configured is same as what i have done in eve-ng.

I can see that in the launch.py it provides the option for setting timos specific options, but where do pass additional flags for qemu. the reason I asked about this is when i look at my eve-ng, i can see following flags for qemu:
-cpu host as per following in eve-ng which works fine:

IXR-e CPM in eve-ng:
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -enable-kvm -uuid <uuid value> -serial mon:stdio -nographic -nodefaults -rtc base=utc -cpu host -smbios type=1,product="TIMOS:slot=A chassis=IXR-e card=cpm-ixr-e"
IXR-e IOM in eve-ng:
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -enable-kvm -uuid <uuid value> -serial mon:stdio -nographic -nodefaults -rtc base=utc -cpu host -smbios type=1,product="TIMOS:slot=1 chassis=IXR-e card=imm24-sfp++8-sfp28+2-qsfp28 mda/1=m24-sfp++8-sfp28+2-qsfp28"

Can you clarify one thing for me please, does the VMs run inside the docker container, because on my host I see four processes of qemu-system running when I started the 7250 IXR-e containers using docker, so I wondering where is the VMs running, on the host or within the docker container?

Card fails in the vrnetlab version of booting IXR-e.
