9.11 Ransomware simulator?

GCSII — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:49:36 GMT

How do I add A-RW suite to my 9.11 simulator?

Does the simulator contain the DataProtection features or just Core bundle?

Can I add Eval (NFR ) licenses from Evaluate.netapp.com?

Thanks

Hi @GCSII

So both the 9.12.1 and 9.11.1 ONTAP Simulator's both come with a cluster base license and some feature licenses to enable certain features like NFS, CIFS, Snapmirror (but not the ARS features AFAIK).

Let me check internally whether there is plans to change that in the future releases of the Simulator and whether an EVAL license can help enable the feature in the meantime.

Hi @GCSII

Whilst we I work internally to get some clarification internally on your query about the ONTAP Simulator supporting Ransomware, I wanted to point out that as an active customer (with an active support login account) you have access to our Labs on Demand Ransomware lab - https://handsonlabs.netapp.com/lab/ransomprotect

Hi @GCSII

Apologies for the delay in updating you.

At this stage the current available releases of our ONTAP Simulator do not support he ARS / Ransomware features and there is no plans to support it at this stage.

Our recommendation is to use the Labs we provide for partners and customers. https://handsonlabs.netapp.com/lab/ransomprotect
