The Simulate _ONTAP_8.3_Installation_andSetup_Guide.pdf shows the user how to install the simulator onto ESX server by vSphere Client, which runs on Windows only.
From Mac, there is only vSphere Web Client available. Any one has done the installation with vSphere Web Client?
Not sure. Deployment in my lab was uneventful. My environment consists of VCSA 6, ESX6, and NFS datastores hosted on CDOT 8.3p2. I've seen references to that error message on older ESX versions but they don't appear to correlate. Any other info in the logs?
