This will allow your virtual machine to boot up without the HackBoot ISO. See the picture of step number two (main image). Step 3: Click on the disc icon at the bottom of VirtualBox’s window and uncheck the HackBoot 2 ISO, since you won’t need it anymore. Of course does not need a picture.

Purpose of this repository
The purpose of this workflow is to provide an IOS XR Virtual Machineto the user in the VagrantVirtualBox format, without being concernedwith the underlying architecture or networking that the VM is runningon; so that the end user can access the app-hosting Linux environment,or simply begin to play with IOS XR - all with the convenience andeconomic benefit of using their existing laptop hardware.
Currently this supports IOS XRv (64-bit) only but will be adapted toalso handle IOS XRv 9000 images.
An IOS XRv (64-bit) VM:
Is an IOS XR Control Plane image built on with the latest XRarchitecture, with a 64-bit Wind River Linux (WRL) kernel.
This includes eXR – access to the WR7 Linux kernel including Netstack,giving access to the underlying server's interfaces and an app-hostingenvironment.
Small enough at 3G (mini) or 4G (full) to run on hardware with limitedRAM (like a mac laptop).
Forwarding is supplied by SPP/Virtio - the same as the legacy IOS XRv(32-bit) platform.
This is the migration path from IOS XRv (32-bit) for education andsimulation purposes.
An IOS XRv (64-bit) Vagrant Virtualbox:
Is a virtual machine image containing IOS XRv (64-bit) and metadata,that can be brought up by standard vagrant commands.E.g. vagrant add
and vagrant ssh
.
IOS XR is pre-installed and pre-configured in XR and WRL, with IPconnectivity out of the box with an embedded Vagrantfile providingusername/password and port-forwarding as well as internet connectivity(DHCP using Vagrant's IP address pool) for ease of use.
App-hosting space (WRL7) is preconfigured with a user 'vagrant',password-less SSH, domain servers so the user can access the internet;basically set up to do app development out-of-the-box.
Therefore the user does not have to worry about networking, wiring,NICs and NIC drivers, connectivity, memory allocation etc - it's allgoing to work out of the 'box'.
A vagrant ssh
command takes the user directly to the app-hostingspace, no password needed. No messy configuration of /etc/resolv.conf
issues for DNS lookup.
The box also allows IOS XR Console access, via SSH if a k9 image,via telnet if not.
The iosxr_iso2vbox.py tool is:
A tool written to convert an IOS XRv (64-bit) ISO image to aVirtualbox image that can be brought up by vagrant.
The tool creates the Virtualbox image, brings it up, configures XR andopernns Linux so that future uses of the box bring it up fullynetworked and ready to run.
How to use this tool
git clone this repo:
Install VirtualBox, Vagrant and socat (see guide below).
Download the appropriate ISO file, e.g.
iosxrv-fullk9-x64.iso

The iosxr_store.py tool is:
A tool written to copy a generated box to a repository, with agenerated message to an alias.

How to install Vagrant, VirtualBox and socat
This example is specific to OS X and is a guide only, users shouldresearch what their particular environment requires to run Vagrant,VirtualBox, and Pexpect:
Windows 7 Iso Virtualbox Download
- Recommend using the Homebrew package manager.
- Make sure you install version 5.x virtualbox
- Vagrant latest version is: 1.8.2

You may need to install Pexpect too:
Once box is created - how do I bring it up?
How to bring up a single node instance:
Free Mac Iso For Virtualbox
Add the box to Vagrant and bring up the node:
Wait for vagrant to finish and prompt you
To access operns App Hosting / XR Linux space:
To access XR Console:
Note this port number can be changed by Vagrant, so
vagrant port
willlist the ports.

Copy a multi-node Vagrantfile from
iosxrv-x64-vbox/vagrantfiles/simple-mixed-topo/Vagrantfile
Note that this Vagrantfile will pull the ubuntu VM from Atlas.
Add the box to Vagrant and bring up the topology:
