Changing Serial/SystemID in ONTAP8 Sim?

Hello...

 

Is there a (documented) way to get several simulators into Operations Manager? It seems that due to the fact that mny sims all have the same serialno/SystemID so OM seems to think they all the same machines. I am trying to get a Protection Manager Demo running and need at least two 8.0(.1) sims for that...

 

I have found that at bootup the Sim looks in /sim/dev/ for a file called ,serialno (just like the 7.x Sims), but I cannot access that file, as the systemshell demo user does not have right to create that file...

 

How to go about?

 

regards,

Patrick

Patrick,

You need to take the following steps (see screenshots):

  1. Boot into SIMLOADER by pressing Ctrl-C
  2. Run command: “set SYS_SERIAL_NUM=xxxxxxx”
  3. Run command: “boot”
  4. Access “Boot Menu” by pressing Ctrl-C
  5. Choose “Maintenance mode boot”
  6. Reassign disk to new system

See attached screenshots.
