Acquiring the iosxrv-k9-demo-6.1.3.qcow2 file requires a valid Cisco account (CCO) and a service contract that includes IOS-XR software downloads, or access to public emulation resources (use case dependent; ensure compliance with licensing). Once you have the file, here is how to deploy it.
For advanced automation, it was possible to create an ISO file ( xrconfig.iso ) containing configuration files ( iosxr_config_admin.txt and iosxr_config.txt ). This ISO could then be mounted as a CD-ROM when the VM boots. The IOS XRv software would automatically read the configuration from the ISO, allowing for fully automated provisioning of the router on the first start.
