Wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction for downloading VSIM for ONTAP of ONTAP 8.2.4 P6 and ONTAP 8.2.5 P1 .  We support those in our environment and wanted to do some testing in a staged environment to see if we could simulate some fixes before we deploy them to the field. 

 

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,


On the Simulator download page, there is only 8.2.3 & 8.3 image available.

Please have a look at this thread, it has a similar query and a useful response/workaround:

Just FYI:

I upgraded by Ontap 9.6 SIMULATOR from 9.6 to 9.6P4 using standard Prod ONTAP Image and it worked. Thanks to Alex in the thread I mentioned. I have been using simulators for sometime now, but had never upgraded the SIMULATOR, infact I wasn't aware if it is possible. It does work.  You should be alright, good luck!

 

Upgraded my SImulator From 9.6 to 9.6 P4:
