I need to start a NetApp Data ONTAP Select instance on OpenStack cloud (KVM based virtualization) in order to perform some testing between OpenStack storage components using NetApp as backend.
Data ONTAP Select seems to be the best candidate for this because it should be provisioned on demain for each test suite execution and it would avoid depending on availability of a specific NetApp hardware, which is quite problematic because test execution could run in largu number of geographies. Using the virtualized version would avoid location based issues, assure we always test with a specific version. The only limition is that no performanc testing can be done with it but this is known and outside the scope of these tests.
I tried to convert the OVF image (9.3) to QCOW2 and start it open open stack but I ended up with a kernel panic that looks like
