I have the aruba simulator added to gns3. Once I try to start it it gets in a boot loop as shown below

Funny thing is if I use the ova to create a VM in virtual box it will power up. Any help would be appreciated. I have used 3 different pc and installed an reinstalled gns3 and the vb gns3 times already no difference. I contacted HPE support and was told because it works in virtualbox with the OVA it is not their issue.   

Hi,

Did you extract the OVA and insert the VMDK in GNS3?

Where are you running GNS3? local or in a vm.

Yes the OVA was extracted and it being from from a nested VM

Seems to be an issue with running a vm in a vm

Did you try to play with the nested vm settings in virtualbox?
