Ontap Simulator in Google Cloud

jbielasz — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 19:27:10 GMT

Hi,

I would like to test something with Ansible Tower and ONTAP.

It would be great to install the ONTAP Simulator in Google Cloud where I already have Ansible Tower.

I can see that it's possible to import .OVA files into GCP.

Has anyone tried to import the ONTAP Simulator .OVA ? Is it possible ?

Regards,

Jakub

Not sure if it's possible (definitely couldn't be used for prod or supported even if technically possible), but you could run a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/occm/task_getting_started_gcp.html

If you are testing on premises workflows with Tower, you probably want to use the ansible modules for ONTAP, but Cloud Manager provides a RESTful API for Cloud Volumes ONTAP too.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like GCP supports importing FreeBSD based OVAs.
