Nexus Switch

I have a nexus switch as below, running on WMware 15 piped to Gns3.

I created the startup-config file in bootflash: because there was none ie. as below.

I can make all configurations in gns3 and save to the startup-config .

When I finish any configuratiion and save the project and restart the computer, the config is also seen in the #sh run. And all ok.

But when I switch on the computer in next day and I make #sh run, the running config and startup-config are empty, no config, there is just
the default running config. And my added startup-config in the bootflash: is also rubbed ,no more there.

I downloaded the image and ofcourse has no need for license(s).

???????????????????? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ??????????????????????????

WMware to Gns3 titanium-d1.5.1.2.gbin --> allows to change an interface from L3 to L2, plus allows more but doesnt save.

Cisco_NX-OS_Titanium-v6.2.1_Image_for_Virtual_Box_GNS3_6.2.1_Downloadly.ir --> doesnt save, plus the image does not even allow to change an interface from L3 to L2
using the switchport command. Instead the switch reboots to login:

I kindly ask if you have a booting and saving image --> bootflash:/ titanium-d1.5.1.2.gbin or functional Cisco_NX-OS_Titanium-v6.2.1_Image_for_Virtual_Box_GNS3_6.2.1.

Or I kindly ask if you can provide a link to something really functioning. Any nexus on WMware to Gns3 or any nexus in Virtualbox to Gns3.


Here is the nexus boot sequence:
