I've had good experience with them as a method of creating "expected
results" for change management. Also, they're good to test automations tools
against - creating and destroying volumes, flexclones, or your example of
walking mibs, are all things that should work well on a sim.

The new support site has *ucked up everything nice an proper __

An option could be to revert from 9.5 to 9.4 and then again from 9.4 to 9.3, it should be possible... you can just use the ontap software as you download it for your controllers...
I'm not sure if it is possible to do netboot from a simulated ontap, but if it is, you should be able to do a netboot directly into 9.3 and start from there...

So google "netapp netboot"... basically you halt the system in the bios, then set and IP with the ifconfig command, then unpack the ontap package somewhere reachable with http, and then point your "netboot" command to the /netboot/kernel...
Then select the "Install new software first"... and you should be golden...

If that is not possible from the simulator, you can always go the revert route which will take a while... so google "netapp revert"...

Hello Toasters,

Does NetApp provide the option to download old versions of the ONTAP
Simulator? I'm looking for version 9.3 (any patch release)
specifically but I am coming up empty.

The oldest version of the simulator I see available is 9.5P6. I'm
finding no links to older versions of the simulator anywhere on the
support site.

Cheers,
Phil

Thanks Heino. I am glad I'm not the only one having troubles with
the new support site.

I'll give both of those suggestions a shot. Appreciate the info.
