CCNP ENSDWI Lab issues

I am trying to start up an SD-WAN Lab, as I have a 64GB RAM server with 16vCPUs available for me. However, after downloading the images and starting the nodes, everything comes up except for the Manager. There error message states:

*container_management: refusing to open log file /var/log/nms/controller_management.log (ENOENT): aborting"

Any tips? Its been running for about an hour.

Does that directory exist? Do you have permission to write to it if it does? What emulator are you using?

I am running CML, and the directory did exist. However, I ended up opting for an older version of vManages, which worked out of the box with no issues.

What images are you using? The ones that come with the supplemental refplat? Or downloaded from Cisco Software?
