Hi Terry, i am facing issue with ESXI DNAC or ISO file DNAC in Dell T7910 server, after successful installed, i am able to login and configure but once power down and power UP again DNAC services not starting, i waited for 2 hours but no luck. even though i am able to access via CLI. GUI not working even its shows ram incrementing very slow or some time its stop increasing. in normal scenarios, i observed if ram utilization reach 140GB then only GUI works, but in my case its stuck on 90GB and cpu utilization 40Gig Plus plus. please help me and guide me if i am missing anything.
Does the 32 vCPU and 256GB ram need to be dedicated or can it handle a little over-provisioning?
I'm thinking likewise to run vDNAC on the same host as my current EVE-PRO but I'll need to start swapping 16gb sticks for 32gb sticks to exceed 256GB ram.
Hello Terry, thank you for your fantastic explanation. Is there a date available for when Cisco will release a free VM version of Cisco DNAC?
Hi Terry,
I really appreciate what you do in this youtube comunity to explain some stuff as easier as possible to all understand and take their own steps to create home labs.
I would like to know if in some occasion will you show how to build it from beginning I mean Esxi > Server > vDNAC. >
I've been doing some test and study Esxi that I`ve never worked with.
Regards.
I had a problem after installing OVA, error message "We encountered an error while attempting to upgrade the software." I can't download anything in Software management, error message is "System installed release not in stable state,Please make sure installed release is in deployed state and then retry again". do you know why??
hi Terry, I install ova file like you but I have 64GB ram. after installation I am logging to web GUI via enterprise port. But I dont see anything expect the 3 menues. What is the minimum ram or CPU requirement for deployment. its only test deployment.
Can you elaborate on the vmware network configuration and how it connects to your core…for example you set vnic0 to "dnacpg" is that a dummy vlan for the cluster link? Is it on a separate vSwitch?
Thanks a lot for sharing this kind of video.
I have some doubts about building my own lab… and I don`t know if you could help me with it…. or someone from the community.
Does server need 256 GbRam to install DNAC from beginning ??
Does server need 256 GbRam to run DNAC for lab purpose ??, I mean if I have less Ram it wont work.
Do you recommend installing SSD SATA 6GBPS or SSD SAS 12GBPS ??
Is there any DNAC Lite Version to install and practice ??
Regards,
Can we add DNAC in CML ?
Hi Terry, thank you for providing such inspiration to the network engineering community. You've definitely inspired me for sure! I currently got couple of questions to run by you. (1) In this video, the VM settings have 3 HDDs (HDD1 – 100GB, HDD2 – 550GB, and HDD3 – 2350GB) but from your other video named "Building a "Virtual" DNAC for my Budget Centric CCIE EI Home Lab (Part 1)" there was only 1HDD only requiring 600GB SSD, so i just want to confirm whether 1HDD will suffice or it must be 3x HDD as specified here? (2) I'm looking towards purchasing a server with the following specs: [Dell PowerEdge R820 Server 3.30Ghz 32-Core 512GB 2x 500GB SSD + 2x 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" 6G]. Do you think these specs will have no problems to run the vDNAC home lab? I'm just concerned whether the storage component will be an issue since from reading a lot of the comments that having SSD is quite important but for my specs it will only provide 1TB SSD (whereas in this video the 3x HDDs combined has a total of 3TB). Your feedback is most appreciated and or if others can answer this then that would be fabulous also. Many Thanks!
Do you think this will be possible to run in VMWare Workstation? I have everything else able to run in there (Except Prime which runs in my virtualised ESXi host). I've got an 8 core AMD processor with 64GB ram (Could upgrade to 128GB).
Would be awesome if it worked with an AMD 5950X with 128gb. Would be an affordable upgrade for people that already have AM4 setup without having to resort to the big server setups.
how to get the DNAC-SW-2.3.7.ova which is OVA file?
Thank you for your deployment demo and for the News
Excellent video ! "just" 256GB RAM, better beef up my server 🙂
Amazing! Looking forward for the next video Terry! Thanks!
thank you so much !
Finally… thanks for the video
hi mr.terry , this tutorial was superb, thanks, how to get ova file of dna ?
Hey Terry, Do we have a date to look out for this to be released?
This is fantastic news! I honestly believed this wouldn't happen. Hats off to Cisco for following through ! I can't wait to deploy this in my CCIE EI lab. As always, thank you for being out in front with your work, Terry.
