I have had some issues as well. Have you tried posting on the Holodeck Github? The developers work there and help troubleshoot issues and bugs.

Subject: New Holodeck deployment: Stuck on waiting on FRR
Hi all, trying a new Holodeck deployment of 9.0.1.0 to a shiny new vSphere 8 environment using vCenter. So far I've redeployed the holorouter but I'm getitng the same outcome. I think this is probably network related but have a couple containers showing a containerConfigError state:

When I try to describe those containers they show as not found.
Network Setup:
- Mgmt network with IP (NIC1, vDS)
- holoTRUNK (trunked VLAN, vDS)
- vSwitch0 holo-PG-A (no uplink)
- vSwitch1 holo-PG-B (no uplink)
Any ideas where to go from here?
