Hi all,   I am running an ONTAP 9.11.1 Simulator and a virtual StorageGRID 11.6. The goal with this setup is to test SnapMirror Cloud. I've added a S3 bucket from the GRID as "Cloud object store", got a SnapMirror Cloud 10TB Eval license from NetApp and the SnapMirror Cloud API Key from https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/tools/snapmirror-cloud-api-key-wl/download The Eval license is working with the simulator, the API Key unfortunately not. After entering the key in the dialog I get an internal error "Failed to create access token". Did someone got this (or a similar) setup successfully running? Does it even work with the simulator at all?   Regards Mario   ... View more

Hi,   starting with the 9.9 simulator the CPU usage of the simulator when it is idle has somehow gotten really bad in both VMware ESXi and VMware Workstation.
