EVE-NG is arguably the best platform for building large, complex lab topologies. Here’s how to integrate your image.

Later versions (9.3+ and 10.x) often suffer from kernel panics within KVM due to hardware dependency checks. 7.0.3.I7.4 is known as the "workhorse" for virtual labs, with uptimes measured in weeks, not hours.

Upload your nxosv9k-7.0.3.i7.4.qcow2 file to this directory. Note that the file must be renamed to sataa.qcow2 for EVE-NG to boot it correctly. nxosv9k-7.0.3.i7.4.qcow2 plugin

mv nxosv9k-7.0.3.i7.4.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/nxosv9k-7.0.3.I7.4/virtioa.qcow2

Here is the reality: You cannot just download the .qcow2 and hit "Run." You need the plugin architecture correctly wired.
