I have having serious issues trying to get htis to run at all..Period.
ESXi 6..0.0
Booting up Simulator I get to Option 4 to format all disk etc...
I have now been waiting for over 10 min for this to complete...how long does this Netapp thing take to complete commands??
All it shows is "dots"....lost of dots.......as they populate across the screen.
I wanted tp setup 2 others but not if it takes this long for ONE.
Why is this taking so long??....Ok.....FINALLY while writing this.....11:20 to finnaly get "System Init has Complete successfully"...over 11MIN?? Really?? is this Normall??
EDIT: Opps.....spoke to soon.....while creating this post, I have released my cursor from the Simulator. Now when I go back in to continue setup, keyboard input results in nothing happening. NO KEYBOARD INPUT> OMG what a diaster this is.
So i used the "Enter" key.....all of a sudden it scooted past the interface port....and I now am looking at "Enter the cluster management interface IP addy..." and therer is one entry for the many time I hit ENTER. Is this JOKE??
How the heck are you supposed to set this up??
ESX has LOTS of Hard Drive Space...256GB Ram......32 proccessors......and Ontap will not run...hmmmmmm.
Think I may try 9.3...but if its anything like this...then Netapp is NOT the answer to our Current Storage needs.
I have an FAS 2600 series quoted to me...for a whole wack of cash......this Simulator is showing Netapp at its worst I hope??
If the physicall Box is anyhting like this...I want nothing to do with it.
