Access your EVE-NG server via SSH and create a dedicated directory for the Dell OS10 node inside the QEMU directory. mkdir -p /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/dell-os10-1.0.0/ Use code with caution. Step 2: Upload and Convert the Image
Navigate to the newly populated directory and use the qemu-img tool to re-encode the VMware virtual disks into Linux KVM native format. Pay close attention to the target names ( sataa , virtiob , virtioc ), as EVE-NG relies on these specific string sequences to prioritize drive-booting order:
Highly favored for massive, multi-vendor topologies. os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk
: Indicates that this VMDK file represents a hard disk for the VM.

Training and development on Dell OS10, such as with GNS3 or EVE-NG.
(Virtual Machine Disk) file acts as the persistent storage for a virtual Dell switch. Virtualization Tools : It is commonly used in Vagrant Libvirt boxes for network lab simulations. Renaming Requirements : In EVE-NG setups, this specific file is often renamed to sataa.qcow2 Pay close attention to the target names (
: Prototype scripts and network operations before deploying them on physical S-Series or Z-Series switches.
The os10-disk-1.0.0.vmdk file is relatively small—around (23 million bytes) according to community reports. However, the companion installer disk ( .qcow2 ) can be much larger, often exceeding 400 MB. The OS10 system itself expands to several gigabytes once the installer runs.
DevOps teams integrate this virtual disk into automated testing pipelines. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Ansible or Terraform spin up instances using this VMDK to validate network playbooks automatically. 3. Education and Training
