OnTap 8.1.4 7-mode VMware Workstation Network Settings Help

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

Hi There!

 

You probably want bridged for all of them - that means your VM will be on your LAN just like your Windows host.

 

Hope this helps!

For a 7mode sim, I usually connect all the ports to NAT.  Use the gateway from the VMware networking settings.  By default its going to put e0a/e0b on "hostonly", which is more appropriate for a cdot sim.  I never understood the rationale behind defaulting 7mode sims to a cmode network topology. 

 

You could also use bridged to connect directly to the outside network, but if its not a network you control get whoever does to assign you the extra IP(s) for your vsim.

Thank you to all who replied back to me with their suggestions and insight.  Here's is what I had to do to resolve this issue: 

The VSim comes preconfigured for 4 NIC's.  I trimmed this back to 1 NIC and set it to Bridged.  Even after that I still could not get any further than my ESX VM Host server.  After tinkering with it some more, we found that I had to enable Forged Transmits and Promiscuous Mode on the Test port group in vSphere to let the VSim traffic be able to pass through. 

If this is not enabled, the simulator will not connect to the outside network at all as the forged transmits/promiscuous mode settings will block any transmissions from the VMware Workstation instance.   While enabling this is not an ideal resolution, I took it one step further and isolated the VM to one host, set up a separate port group on the NIC on that host.

 

The only caveat is that it removes the network redundancy for that 1 host, but it isolaes the security risk down to just one VM.  Once we're finished testing with the VSim, we'll remove the port group and set up NW teaming again and disable the FT/PM again.

 

Thanks,

Ed

Nope. Unfortunately, most probably, it is not going to work

I tried importing the Ontap 9.1p13 simulator into Fusion 11 and receive "Failed to open OVF descriptor". Is there a workaround for this error?

Hi,

 

Simple answer: Not anymore, however, you can still do encryption using ONTAP Select evaluation. 

 

Longer Answer:

"The new released software is Simulate ONTAP NODAR 9.3P4 for VMware ESX. The patch removes encryption from the ONTAP Software to comply with GTC (Global Trade Compliance) and thus encryption will no longer be supported on ONTAP Simulate. Customers requiring to test ONTAP encryption can still do so using the ONTAP Select with the Select Trial License."

 

All of the simulators for 9.4, 9.3P4, 9.2P4 and 9.1P13 have now all been patched as per the message above for NODAR, or No Data At Rest encryption. If you have an original 9.3 (no P4) already downloaded without nodar in its name (see below) then yes.

 

ie: vsim-esx-DOT9.3-cm.ova

you mean the windows failover? or Filer iSCSI network failover?

 

If is Windows failover, yes

if is filer iSCSI network failover, you need 2 LIF and MPIO setting in the Windows

ya, you need setup MPIO, iSCSI is not allow LIF failover, it must be using MPIO for the failover

Hey, this is an old thread which I'm sure no oen will read --but I got an OnTap 9 .4 Simulator built and fully functional in KVM using a Centos 7.

To be honest, I did not expect it to work for such a small effort I put into it.

I was running 9.1 simulator fine,   when I try to install 9.3 or 9.4 simulators from ova files, I recieve this message whenever I try to start the virtual machine to install a node/cluster:

As an update to this,  I was able to download a simulator for 9.2P4 and had no problems getting it to the boot menu without a panic.    So it appears something has changed from the 9.2 simulator to the 9.3/9.4 simulator .

Just a guess, but the newer ONTAP releases may be expecting instructions missing in your CPU.  vsim just says you need VT, but Select, which runs essentially identical binaries, calls out Haswell.  I'd try it on a newer host and see if you have better luck.
