Missing Volumes -> Add button on Simulator 9.10 and 9.11

Tava — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:55:33 GMT

Hello,

I'm running both of those sims on Linux+Vmware player 16.2.4 and they work just fine. The only issue is that I can't make any volumes via GUI. I'm simply missing Add-button on "Volumes"-menu. I only have "3 vertical dots+ More" (see attachment).

Please confirm that others have/not have Add-button?

Cheers,

Jari

May be try clearing browser cache and try again. Could you try in chrome or firefox ?

Hello,

this is a fresh linux simulator install with no access to extrenal network. I'm running fresh firefox without history. Can you confirm that you have "Volumes -> Add"-button?

I do not have this version, but I will get this installed today and feed you back. In the mean time, I will try and find if there is anything mentioned about the changes in the gui.

Ok, I get it. I installed ONTAP 9.10 simulator with just 'Base' license and I could not see 'Add' button, just 3 dots as you mentioned. Fix- Add any Protocol License (NFS/CIFS/iSCSI etc), log out completely and login back into the system manager. "Add" button will show up, along with more options in the left side menu.

WHOA, never would have guessed that you need a protocol-license in order to create volumes!! 🙂

Big thanks to you!!
