NetApp provides a simulator for their Data ONTAP operating system that provides most of the same functionality as Data ONTAP on a NetApp storage system.

This article includes some basic tips to get you started with the ONTAP 8 7-Mode Simulator.

This should bring you to the loader prompt where you can set a unique serial number and system id.

SIMLOADER set bootarg.nvram.sysid1111111101 SIMLOADER set SYSSERIALNUM1111111101 SIMLOADER set MOBOSERIALNUM1111111101 SIMLOADER boot.

Please choose one of the following: (1) Normal Boot.

Boot without etcrc.

Change password. (4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks.

Maintenance mode boot.

Update flash from backup config.

Install new software first.

Reboot node. Selection (1-8) 4.

Zero disks, reset config and install a new file system: y This will erase all the data on the disks, are you sure: y.

After disk initialization completes, you will be prompted for simulator configuration information.

To allow etc root access to all NFS clients, enter all below.

Please enter the name or IP address of the administration host: Please enter timezone GMT: USCentral Where is the filer located: Do you want to run DNS resolver n: Do you want to run NIS client n: Do you want to configure the Shelf Alternate Control Path Management interface for SAS shelves n: Now type reboot for changes to take effect.

Data ONTAP 8 provides a user mode system shell for rare diagnostic tasks.

While most of the CPU cycles are spent in various Data ONTAP kernel modules, a user space exists and is used to run some processes and for diagnostics.

Below is a quick example of how to unlock the diagnostic user account and gain access to the system shell.

This diagnostics shell gives you access to the BSD OS that hosts ONTAP.

The Data ONTAP simulator has a collection of virtual disks, virtual tapes and other virtual devices.

The default simulator comes with 28 simulated disks of 1GB each.

It is possible to increase the simulated disk count to 56 simulated disks.

The following procedures will provide step-by-step instructions for doubling the disk count to 56 disks and making the disks available for use.

The procedure to add more disks can be found at and a summary of this procedure is included below.

The following set of commands create a symbolic link to a shared library thats needed by the utility.

You should now see 56 disks of 1GB each listed in the simulator.

The new disks should be listed as already zeroed and ready to use inside an aggregate.

Pretend like this is a competition to see who can be the most mature and the most intelligent.
