The new version of the Data ONTAP Simulator 8 has been out for a few days. I was waiting for it because 8.0.1 has finally VAAI (VMware vStorage API for Array Integration) support and we can test it in a lab environment. The Simulator 8 is a little bit different from the older ones, it comes as a configured VMware Workstation (or Fusion) VM. As I have ESXi lab only, I had to convert it to Virtual Infrastructure VM, with VM Converter. After the Converter Standalone Client finished, I powered on the Simulator and now it’s much more like the real Filers.
