ONTAP Select 9.13.1RC1 release?

Hi,

Does anyone know if and when will ONTAP Select 9.13.1RC1 be released? it's been quite some time since the physical version was released. Need it for testing of course 🙂

Thanks,

Someone from NetApp ONTAP Select team will be able to give some feedback on this.

Just curious: As you said you need it for testing, is there a specific feature that is currently not available in your existing ONTAP Select deployment but it is available in the CORE ONTAP 9.13.1RC1 that you would like to test ? The reason I am asking is b'cos there is ONTAP Simulator 'Simulate ONTAP 9.12.1' that you could download, and upgrade it to 9.13.1RC1 to test anything specific in the target release,  if that's what you are looking for.

Thanks. Can I use the regular ontap image for fas/aff as an upgrade image for the simulator? didn't know that

You're welcome. Yes, you can use the standard Production ONTAP image from the ONTAP download page as an upgrade for the Simulator.
