Hello, I've upgraded the OnTAP Simulator numerous times in the past, but I'm running across an issue when trying to go from 9.14.1 to 9.15.1. Any ideas why I keep getting this error? I unblocked the files before running them, and tried re-downloading the file. I know the file is not corrupt as I used the same one on some production clusters. Download complete. Listing package contents. Decompressing package contents. Verifying package signature. Install failed. Failed to verify the signatures of the image. The image might have been corrupted. Replace the image, and then try the command again. Error: command failed: Install failed. Failed to verify the signatures of the image. The image might have been corrupted. Replace the image, and then try the command again.

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with the ONTAP Simulator and wanted to check if others have seen the same behavior or if this might be version-related. Environment: NetApp ONTAP Simulator OVA: vsim-netapp-DOT9.16.1-cm_nodar.ova Running on VMware vSphere Clientversion: 2.18.0 Client-Build-Nummer: 23593406 ESXi-Version: 8.0.3 ESXi-Build-Nummer: 24677879 What I did: Deployed the OVA without errors Completed the cluster setup successfully All disks from the OVA are present and visible (disk show looks fine, disks are assigned and in spare/pool0) Problem: After rebooting the node, the system throws errors during boot: All local mailbox disks are inaccessible cloud database service is disabled ERROR: missing pmroot_late.tgz file After that, the node does not come up cleanly. Observations: Disks are visible and assigned correctly Issue only appears after the initial setup + reboot Looks like a problem with mailbox/root initialization rather than missing disks Question: Has anyone experienced this with ONTAP Simulator 9.16.1? Could this be a bug or known issue with this specific simulator version? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, we want to install /setup Ontap Simulator 9.16.1 on vsphere 8 for tests we have checked the installation and setup Guide and vsphere is not in the supported app. Do you know if there are any problems with vsphere? has anyone tried it? Thanks in advance

I've played around quite a bit with the vSIM in my lab environment (running in a vSphere cluster). All my tests were quite short-lived and limited in scope, though, since I have only very limited storage available. I read here that the simulators behind the Hands-On-Labs use vSCSI disks instead of emulated disks, and I tried getting that working with a new vSIM instance by adding a SCSI-controller and some 30GB-Disks. I could not get those disks to show up though, no matter which type of SCSI-controller I selected within VMware. @SeanHatfield is there anything I have to do within the vSIM so the disks are recognized?
