: A 64-bit x86 CPU with at least 16GB of total system RAM is recommended for running multiple nodes.
: Create a directory for the node (e.g., /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/dellos10-10.5.5 ).
: 4 vCPUs are generally recommended for stable performance. os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk
: Prototype scripts and network operations before deploying them on physical S-Series or Z-Series switches.
This file serves as the base virtual hard disk drive (HDD) for the OS10 virtual machine. Unlike standard firmware images used for physical switches, this VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) file contains the core file system architecture required to run OS10 on a hypervisor. It is typically distributed as part of a larger virtualization bundle (e.g., OS10_Virtualization_10.x.x.xV.zip ) which includes two other essential files: : A 64-bit x86 CPU with at least
: Each OS10 switch instance typically requires at least 4GB of RAM .
Running the OS10 virtual appliance requires significant resources due to its complex hardware abstraction layer: : Prototype scripts and network operations before deploying
: Practice CLI commands and RESTCONF/SNMP interfaces in a virtual lab.
: Used to boot the installation process.
: Use the following command to prepare the disk: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 OS10-Disk-1.0.0.vmdk sataa.qcow2 .
