NetApp VSIM ESX 9.5P6 checksum does not match file name

[Stan-J]

I downloaded vsim version vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova

The checksum download, MD5Checksums_9.5P6.txt, has listed 

vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm.ova 

and

vsim-netapp-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova

I do not see  vsim version vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova 

Is this a typo in the MD5Checksums_9.5P6.txt file?

thanks

Probably - does the checksum for the nodar file you downloaded match the one in the file for vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm.ova? We only distribute the nodar varients as simulators.

This is the txt file of check sums:

MD5 checksum for 9.5P6 .ova files

   vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm.ova                        1b498410991e9ca41e93b496f441491b

   vsim-netapp-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova 1ce11d4f357d45383dd433a607758016

I downloaded this file vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova.  This is the one to use on ESXi for  the simulator?

The hash matches the vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm.ova, not the downloaded file of  vsim-esx-DOT9.5P6-cm_nodar.ova ?

Any updates on the response I provided with regard to the checksum and file name?

Hi there!

As the checksum matches, yes, use that one for ESX.

The only difference is the filename.

"nodar" means "no data at rest encryption"
