Go ahead and configure GNS3 Guest settings. Configure Qemu general parameters and click test button. Navigate to Edit -> Preferences -> Qemu -> General Settings. The expected result is the file vios-adventerprisek9-m.vmdk located in a directory /home/brezular/. $ tar xvf ./mount-point/usr/share/vmcloud/data/images/vios-adventerprisek9-m.ova -C /home/brezular/ Thanks the computed offset we can mount the partition and extract vIOS image from partition. When we multiple the starting sector number and the sector size we calculate the offset where the partition starts ( 512 x 2048 = 1048576 ).ĭ) Mount the partition and extract vIOS image from partition The first partition flagged with boot option contains vIOS image. $ fdisk -l all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194-disk1.imgĬ) Determine where the partition with vIOS image starts inside the virtual disk $ /usr/local/bin/qemu-img convert -O raw all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194-disk1.vmdk all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194-disk1.imgī) Check the available partitions inside the virtual disk

Use qemu-img utility to convert vmdk disk type to raw disk. We can directly extract the vios image out of all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194-disk1.img file. The virtual disk all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194-disk1.vmdk contains vIOS image that we are going to extract from the disk. Download the onePK All-In-One Virtual Machine +21GB free hard disk space to convert vmdk to raw formatĬonfiguration Steps for Extracting vIOS from All-In-One VMġ.The only user input is selecting path to all-in-one VM file and entering a root password needed for temporary mount of raw image. Then you can run the script as it is shown below. Download all-in-one.ova file and assign executable privileges to the script. Here is a Linux bash script that helps you to extract vIOS vios-adventerprisek9-m.vmdk from all-in-one VM file. Script for Extracting vIOS from All-In-One VM CPU with hardware virtualization support ( AMD-V or VT-X virtualization extensions).Cisco all-in-one-VM-1.2.1-194.ova virtual machine.

Qemu emulator and virtualizer compiled with x86_64 support.Currently, it is not required to have Cisco account associated with service contracts, Bill-to IDs, or product serial numbers in order to download onePK. Cisco vIOS is shipped and supported as a part of the Cisco's One Platform Kit ( onePK) that is distributed in form of virtual machine. The tutorial discuss the use of GNS3 software to run Cisco Virtual IOS (vIOS).
