"Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2" is a virtual disk image for the Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent) 7750 Service Router (SR) Operating System , commonly known as Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2

vSim (Virtualized Simulator): This version of the OS is designed to run on generic Intel x86 servers rather than dedicated hardware. It is functionally equivalent to the physical hardware in terms of control and management but is typically limited in traffic forwarding capacity (e.g., 250 pps per interface).

1. Breaking Down the Nomenclature

Before using the image, you must decode what each part of Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2 means. This naming convention follows Nokia’s structured release logic. Upload the file: Place Timos-sr-13

First Boot and Configuration

Once the VM boots, you aren't dropped directly into a shell. You have to navigate the Nokia boot sequence.

  1. Upload the file: Place Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2 into your image directory.
  2. Create the Node: Define a new QEMU VM in your emulator.
  3. Resource Allocation: Allocate at least 4GB of RAM. SR OS is memory-heavy. If you give it less, the boot process might hang or fail during the initialization of the CF (Compact Flash) cards.
  4. Interfaces: Ensure you are using the virtio-net driver for network interfaces to ensure performance and detection by SR OS.

We’ll break down what this filename actually tells you, why SR OS 13.0.R4 is a relevant release, and how to get it up and running in your lab.
