Hello all. I'm having trouble upgrading the NetApp simulator on ESXi. Upgrading through the boot menu doesn't work at all, but uploading it as a second image then making it the default works at first, but errors out upon reboot with vol0 getting corrupted. Doing a simple 'vol show' at that point, OnTap comes back with "there is no 'show'". I should state that I increased the vol0 space before the upgrade and there was still 1G free after uploading the image. I should also state this is a single-node cluster, and I do see "corrupted replicated database" errors on boot.

Unfortunately the simulator is not yet ready to be installed on a M1-powered MacBook. Is there anybody who already re-compiled the "ova" to support ARM as well?

Dear All, I'm looking for a simulator download to deploy the NetApp ONTAP simulator in VMWare. we can test compatibility with our product and the latest version of the NetApp software. We have our own library to connect our test environment and we want to test the compatibility between this and the latest NetApp version to provide feedback to our customers. Please provide me with a valid link where I can download the simulator tool. Thanks in Advance

I am setting up the simulator on VMware, and from what I read about it (and from NetApp training courses), you should be able to run two nodes on it. From this forum and the documentation, however, it looks like you need a second instance of the simulator installed. Which is it? While I'm here, I also want to confirm that I should be able to upgrade it to 9.7 okay. (9.5 doesn't have all of the REST APIs required for ansible.) How do I do that since all downloads for versions greater than 9.5 doesn't have a VMware option?
