Netapp Cluster Mode Simulator !!INSTALL!! Download

I was finally granted access to our company's netapp support account so I could download and gain some setup knowledge on the ONTAP simulator. After finding out that only 9.5 is available for working with ESXi, I finally got my two nodes stood up and running. The problem I'm facing is that 9.5 is old (all of our production NetApp appliances are running 9.11-ish) and would like to upgrade it to match what we have in prod. This experience of setting up an ha cluster "from scratch" would help tremendously with a large project that's coming up soon.

I'm trying to figure out how to enable HA mode, only to find that HA mode doesn't work (well/at all?) in the Simulator. According to the Configuration -> Cluster -> Update, I can't perform any updates to the cluster until I enable HA mode.

I tried configuring storage failover, but it insists it's not in HA mode either due to a limitation in the simulator itself or I've not configured it right (either are equally plausible at this point).

Our first task will be to prepare some networking on the vSphere host where we intend to deploy the appliance. Data ONTAP requires separate networking for the backend clustering traffic and for the front end data and management traffic. Even though we will not be deploying ONTAP in clustered mode, in this guide I have decided to include this step as a general best practice. We will also be creating a VMkernel port for NFS traffic (the majority of ONTAP deployments use NFS as the storage protocol rather than Fiber Channel or iSCSI).

I'm getting familiar with Netapp by using the simulator in my home lab with 9.4. Currently I have a 2 node cluster. I found the ontap 9 High Availability guide. Based on the instructions I have booted node 1 into Maintenance Mode. Now trying to run ha_config commands (ha_config show, ha_config modify controller ha-state etc.). It says "ha_config commands not supported on this configuration". Is it possible to run the simulator in HA mode to test the HA features out? I need to have a good understanding of how HA works. Thanks.

It used to be possible to add 2 extra nics and a shelf or 2 to the vsim in 7mode. That enables you to have a cluster network+client network+intercluster snapmirror connection at the same time, so you could show off some of the fancier architecture under the hood of cDOT.

A year ago I posted a way to add more disks to the Netapp Simulator in 7-Mode (well, Peter did that in fact, just copied the post for my own reference). Soooo,.what I missed was to add additional disks to the other simulator, namely the C-mode.

1. power on the SIM

2. Invoke menu with CTRL+C when offered the option

3. select option 5

5. disk show (we check disks 0.16 0.17 and 0.18 are assigned for the system aggregate, all other 53 disks should be assigned later)

6. halt

7. power cycle the simulator

8. Ctrl-C for Boot Menu when prompted

9. select option 4 and wait the end of the process again, this time with many more and bigger disks it will take quite longer

10. configure the node management network as proposed

11. login with the admin user and run cluster setup

12. my choices are to create a new cluster and be it a single node cluster for simplicity

13. the base license is in the text file downloaded together with the simulator

The Simulator is only available over the support site for customers and partners (http:/ Opens a new window/support.netapp.com), I have a partner level account, I'm not sure if you can download the simulator with a standard account, but you can give it a try.

Also, remembre that ONTAP has 2 functional modes, 7-Mode and C-Mode, on 7-Mode it runs as single unit, or as a standard Active/Active HA pair; on C-Mode you can join several units to a single parallel cluster to aggregate capacity and performance; two different animals.

I know this is very late, but I have a FAS2020 at home and I was in the same position as you and I thought that I would give the simulator keys a try. And they did!!!! So now I have all licenses on my FAS2020. I tried the same thing at work on our old lab gear (which is a FAS3140) now running cDOT 8.1 and the simulator keys worked as well! Now we can only go to a two node cluster but I now have cDOT with full licensing! Did not think it would work!

By default, the simulator has four network interface; the first two, e0a/e0b are for the ClusterNet network, the back-end network used by cluster nodes to communicate with each other, and should be of type host-only. The second two, e0c/e0d are for client access and management access, these are of type NAT but can also be set to bridged. If you use Nat, then VMware will assign IP addresses via DHCP based on the configuration of the VMNET8 interface settings; to view this cat the file located here:

The lab features two NetApp simulator clusters with Windows and Linux clients in separate IP subnets to make it as close to a real world environment as possible... and best of all you can build and run the lab completely for free, all you need is a PC to run it on. e24fc04721
