If all above have been verified and setup correctly, you need
to make sure VIRL itself is configured to use VT-x.
Check in the VM directory in datastore, there should be a file
named VIRL-version.vmx. Download and open the file
using a text editor.

Save the file and restart VIRL VM. SSH back in and do the
following verification.

time.
Very the NTP service configuration file.
sudovi/etc/ntp.conf
You should find the following NTP servers defined at the
bottom of the file. If not, add them.
server0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
Restart NTP service.
sudoservicentpstop
sudontpdgq
sudoservicentpstart
Use the NTP query command to ensure that NTP peering is
established.
sudontpqp
It may take several minutes for the NTP daemon to establish
peers. You may need to reenter the NTP Query command
multiple times over the period of several minutes before a
peer is indicated. You should see something like this when
NTP peers are established.

Select Salt Status and click on Reset Keys and ID. Cisco
Salt Stack is Ciscos online license validation system. Youll
need to provide the Salt-ID, Salt-Domain, and RSA key
associated with your license in order to activate.
Copy and paste the file name of the license key file (not
including .pem) provided with your purchase as the Salt ID
and Domain. For example AB12CD35.virl.info. You may
specify a SALT server that near you.
us-virl-salt.cisco.com (US)
eu-virl-salt.cisco.com (Europe)
Delete the existing contents of the Minion private RSA key
field. Open the license key file in a text-editor. Select all and
copy the entire contents of the license key file. Click on
Reset to save.
VIRL must have internet access and be able to call home to
the Cisco SaltStack servers every 7 days to validate the
license.

Step 8: Verification
SSH to the VIRL VM.
Display the status of the OpenStack Neutron agents. Verify
that for each Neutron agent is alive column shows :-).
There should be a minimum of four Neutron agents present.

linux-bridge-agent
Metadata agent
DHCP agent
L3 agent

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
From the specs of the server, Im sure it will
do the job just fine. A few things to considerAre you going to run VMWare ESXi on the
server and share the host with other VMs?
VIRL does not require a lot of HDD spaces. If
you are not going to fully populate all the
HDD bays I recommend you getting a 1U
server instead. The PowerEdge R310 is a great
option. It holds up to 32GB RAMs and comes
with 4 hot-swappable HDD bays.
Remember that VIRL demands more memory
than CPU. If you want server with faster CPU I
recommend R320. But in the end of the day
you are more likely running into memory
limitation than CPU. I have a Dell R310 with
two 500GB SAS 15k HDDs, RAID 1 (mirrored),
two 2.5Ghz quad core CUPs and 24GB of
memory. It costed me about $350 on ebay.
By all means, if you are planning this server
for number of other VMs and they are CPU and
disk intensive, and you need a lot of disk
space or storage, you should get the 2U server
instead. I hope it helps. Keep me posted on
your server / VIRL lab build. Im doing the
