serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "network" serial0.network.endPoint = "server" serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = "TRUE"

: On the first boot, the appliance uses the installer disk to populate the sataa.qcow2 (formerly the 1.0.0.vmdk) with the OS10 system files.

Or on a VMware ESXi host:

The "os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk" file acts as the primary virtual hard drive for simulating Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 network switches in virtualized environments like EVE-NG or GNS3. Blog tutorials often guide users to rename this file to sataa.qcow2 for QEMU-based compatibility, allowing for the simulation of CLI, RESTCONF, and SNMP commands. Read a guide on virtualizing this disk from Nbctcp's Weblog .

Perfect for testing Ansible playbooks or Python scripts. How to Get Started To use this file, you generally follow these steps: os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk

guestmount -a os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk -m /dev/sda2 /mnt/vmdk

: Designed for integration with GNS3, EVE-NG, and VMware. It allows for the configuration of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including VLT (Virtual Link Trunking), OSPF, and BGP, without needing physical Dell PowerSwitch hardware. Where to Obtain serial0

Dell’s OS10 (based on Linux) is often distributed as a VMDK for use in VMware ESXi. The file os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk would be the primary boot disk for a virtual switch. Use cases include:
