Hello.
If you look at this image, it says "This platform is not supported", have you changed the following platform settings from VLOADER?

SYS_MODEL=SIMBOX

Yesterday I upgraded from ONTAP 9.7 simulator to 9.8 and it completed successfully. But with ONTAP 9.7, it worked with the default memory of 5GB, but after 9.8, I had to set it to 8GB to start.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I was able to bypass that but it somehow failed again later

I deleted the vsim and deployed a vsim directly using 9.8 ova.

All looks good now.

Thank you for the suggestions.
