OTAP simulator on linux

morgon — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 10:46:22 GMT

Hi,

the document describing the set setup of the simulator cover only Windows and Mac, however I would like to run the simulator on a VMWare player on a linux (debian) system.

Is there any reason this should not work?

And what would be the minimal hardware requirements (could you make do with only 4 GB of RAM?)

Many thanks!

To answer my own question: It seems that the simulator runs just fine on Vmware on Linux. However 4GB is not enough. All seems to be fine with 8GB.

Minimum ESXi server hardware requirements
• 8 GB of RAM for one instance of the simulator
• 16 GB of RAM for two instances of the simulator
• 230 GB of free disk space for each instance of the simulator
• VT support for Intel systems
Software requirements
• VMware vSphere 5.5, including VMware ESXi and VMware vSphere Client, and
optionally vCenter Server
Additional requirements
There are additional networking requirements when installing Simulate ONTAP on an ESXi
host. There are also requirements for the computer on which the vSphere Client software is
installed. The instructions provided in this manual reference the vSphere Client software
instead of the vSphere Web Client.
