Hello David,

Thank's for your support, i resolved this issue after a deep investigation.

The problem was there because i enabled the jumbo frames on my both ontap simulators.

who was not the case in my ESX servers.

So for that i disable Jumbo Frames with assigning the value of 1500 to the MTU size

  ifconfig e0a mtusize 1500

and it's working, the transfer of the baseline finished with sucess

When you provisioned the simulator did you right click the *.vmx file and select open with VMware Workstation ? I can't look at the log files now but will today or tomorrow

Hi good to see you worked it out, sorry I had not found time to look into your logs. I actually seen other weird issues with enabling jumbo frames with the sim and in workstation. When running on vm workstation, like you mentioned above, don't use jumbo frames.
