Myself and others trying to download the simulators (9.4, but I tried 9.2 also) are always getting error below. tried different browsers, different places, different times. Download broken?

Hi there,
already opened a different post but I do not meet the requirements of ONTAP Select, so it's back to Simulator. How can I get my hands on the NVE / NSE licenses? AFAIK they are free of charge anyways, but all versions are NODAR (because of export regulations?).
I am based in Germany and a Thales partner.
Thanks,
MMF
Thanks, but how should we test this then? Not everyone is able to run ONTAP Select and it has the same issues - NODAR. And buying a license just for testing a feature is a little over the top.
Any advice on how to get this license?
Sad to report...maybe the dots are not going across the screen like 9.3, but 9.4 cannot even get past starting cluster services. ...It just sits there......doing nothing all the while disk drives have the odd green flashing light.....so something is going on, but whatever it is has nothing to do with management ot creating a cluster.
Even after I have zero'd the disks, entered Node IP....then go to create the cluster......no response from this sim. Black Hole.
9.4 is no better than 9.3.
I am giving up.....wasted far to much time on this already for no reaqson other than to be frustrated.
Hi MMF
I'd advise you contact your NetApp Sales Representative regarding a trial NVE license. Please note that an NVE license will not work on a simulator, i had a similiar issue trying to develop automation for volume moves to encrypt and or decrypt volumes when moving between aggregates and had to use a physical FAS system to test it on. I'm not certain if the feature will be added to the simulator in future. What are you trying to develop or test with the NVE feature?
/Matt
As my colleague
The partner solutions center for Germany can be reached via email to solution-center-germany@netapp.com and will be able to let you know what options you have available - some regions have loan equipment available, or options for partners to buy equipment without support/licenses and then use trial licenses and then resell to customers, but I don't know exactly what is available in DACH.
Good luck!
Dear Alex, Matt,
thanks a lot. I can see that I would need SEDs / real drives for NSE, but NVE should be a feature which can be tested in hardware. Even if poorly. But I will contact said mail address and see what they can offer.
Cheers,
MMF
I understand your frustration - the physical NetApp system I have does not support DARE, and I would also like to work through configuring it, so I have looked at the simulator too - and while I can get it to run a DARE enabled ONTAP by simply upgrading it, we don't have licenses available.
For me only the KMIP-integration part would be sufficient. I am struggling with an issue as I have zero visibility in what is going on.
NetApp logs only say "SSL Handshake failed" and tracedump says that the server denies the handshake. Implemented several other KMIP clients and never had that much trouble before. E.g. vCenter, there's a free test version. You can play around.
But I contacted them as recommended and I really appreciate your feedback and help 
MMF
That may work with the simulator then - download the regular vsim, upgrade to regular ONTAP via the cluster upgrade command set, and then try the commands. I don't have certificates available, but this was the output on my simulator not configured with NSE or VE.
Hope this helps!

Interesting - mine behaves differently:
Error: command failed: This platform does not support data at rest encryption.
What does the step mean - upgrade to the regular version? I have no cluster upgrade command set 
Are we talking about updating a regular OnTap version via cluster image *?

Correct - just download the regular ONTAP image for a FAS2600 and upgrade the SIM. You will need to ensure there is at least 2GB free in vol0 and on the root aggregate to install this.
Excellent Alex, that did the trick!
Unfortunately I am caught in a catch 22 situation.
security key-manager setup [...] Enter the cluster-wide passphrase for onboard key management. To continue the configuration, enter the passphrase, otherwise type "exit":
So, I don't have it. When I want to update it:
netapp-cluster::*> security key-manager update-passphrase
Error: command failed: The onboard key manager is not enabled. To enable it, run "security
key-manager setup". With MetroCluster configurations, make sure that the onboard key manager
is enabled on both clusters.
I guess this happens because I lost all the licenses while doing the upgrade to the "normal" ONTAP version.
As you’re doing this on the simulator I assume there is no risk of data loss, but I am not that familiar with FDE setup - but isn’t this where you initially set it?
I've had the opportunity to try further:

From your response, I can't see for sure that these are the options you followed. Can you please copy and paste the full session (as much as possible - obscure SSL certs)?
I tried this and it skipped past the setup too. I had to delete the key database.
set adv security key-manager delete-key-database set admin
Then I could get into the regular setup wizard.
Hi
I've also noticed this problem on a number of pieces of software - it is not just you and not just the simulator.
Please try again and if you still have problems, please submit a ticket to our site management team via https://mysupport.netapp.com/eservice/assistant - Category 1: Software Download, Category 2: Error Message, with details of exactly which piece of software and what time this occured.
Thanks!
Hi MRADULSINGH,
Are you able to download the simulator without being a partner or a customer?, if you have downloaded already please tell me how did you download?
Thank you Sean, It worked perfectly for me.
Hi All,
I have the OnTap Simulator v8.1.4 7-Mode running on my VMWare Workstaion Pro. I have the netapp simulator configured correcly from an "OnTap" perspective for the regular setup values, network IP, subnet, gateway, dns, etc.
I'm confused on what my settings should be for the VM Network adapters ad whether I should be using Bridged or Host-Only; and on what adapters for these.
In My Virtual Network editor I have the following (by default):
VMnet0 - Bridged (Auto-Bridging) with no Host connection, DHCP or subnet Address
VMnet1 - Host-Only - with no external connection shown, Host connection shows Connected no DHCP, shows a Subnet Address
VMnet3 - NAT, NAT, Connected, DHCP Enabled, shpows a Subnet address
In my Sim VM settings:
Network Adapter #...
1 Host-Only
2 Host-Only
3 NAT
4 NAT
I can ping myelf (Sim VM)
I cannot ping anay other IP's outside of the SIM (nor by name).
I'm greatful for any assistance as this is out of my VM knowledge realm even though I'm very verse in OnTap.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
