HA pair using 8.1.2 SIM?

[pvanlone]

Is it possible to create an HA pair using the 8.1.2 7-mode SIM?

Would the process just be:

download and extract SIM files into 2 seperate folders, and then create 2 SIM virtual machines? How would I then "cable" them together - or perhaps it is just not possible?

As stated in the vsim guide:

Simulate ONTAP does not support the following features:

• High Availability (CFO/SFO)

• Fibre channel and SAN connectivity

• RLM (Remote LAN Module)

• CFE, BIOS, shelf FW, and so on

• Multipathing
