Reenable 'Enable hypervisor applications in the virtual machine'. started the gns3 vm manually, started gns3 gui, opened a topology containing a single csr1000v 16.12.4a, and started the router. i turned off 'Enable hypervisor applications in the virtual machine'. the settings for the gns3 vm were 8 cores and 64G of ram. I modified the gns3 vm setting in fusion. this was visible during the telnet session. With gns3 vm on virtualbox, the csr1000v kept rebooting. I kept trying a variety of permutations and nothing was working. oh, by the way, the gns3 vm settings have the hardware version set to 18. %IOSXEBOOT-4-BOOT_SRC: (rp/0): No need for bootloader upgrade. %IOSXEBOOT-4-BOOT_SRC: (rp/0): Checking grub versions 1.0 vs 1.0 %IOSXEBOOT-4-PART_VERIFY: (local/local): Selected MBR v2 partition layout.Р”Р‡ilesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 %IOSXEBOOT-4-PART_VERIFY: (local/local): Verifying partition table for device /dev/bootflash. go to terminal and telnet to the device on its ipv4 address and port number. i was able to start the csr device in the topology. Tried 2.2.16 and 2.2.17 with gns3 vm running on virtualbox and topologies containing csr1000v 16.9.6 and csr1000v 16.12.4a.
