If you're running it on vmware make sure you have forged transmits turned on. This happened to me when I installed it the first time on my ESX lab server (before I got 2 FAS250's for testing)
ASKER
How do I do that. I am running VMware server on a standard Windows PC
If running vmware server make sure the VM is on the correct subnet/VM Network. I haven't played with vmware server in a while so I'm not that much help on that end of things.
ASKER
I have put the VM and netapp in same subnet.
Also make sure you have it set to Bridged Mode of Networking.
What is the host operating system?
What is the host operating system?
VMware Server is not supported on a host other than Server. If you installl VMware Server, on a desktop operating system, you may experience difficulties.
I hAve run VMWAre server on a laptop before with no issues. It's been usually the vm that has the netapp sim running that had given me issues
@paulsolov: well you must be the *lucky* because it's not officially supported!
Yes, I had issues in the past with Forged Transmits and Promiscuous mode, I always managed to get working eaily on VMware Player, Workstation, but too me a while to get it working on ESX/ESXi. (and required a change of Linux!)

Everyone of our tech guys had it installed until we got our allotment of vmware workstation. Only issues was that it was a hog and the services would use too much memory so we had them in manual mode.
@paulsolov: it must be your technical excellence at getting it to work then!

Ok I will install VMware Player / Workstation and see how I go. Hopefully that fixes it. Alternatively can I use Microsoft virtual PC ?
ASKER
Also I read on Netapp simulator help that the networking mode has to be VMnet2 rather than bridged. Is it right ?
If I set it to bridged, what do I put as default gateway and IP address ?

if using bridged, you use the default gateway for your network, e.g. your routers IP address, and make sure that you give the simulator a IP address in your LANs subnet.
Oracle Virtualbox 4.0 is also a good hypervisor.

I have installed VMWare Player. I will test out and post the results.
ASKER
It worked after accessing the filer from a different PC in the network. All good
Thanks everyone for trying
Thanks everyone for trying
So after installing VMware Player it worked?
ASKER
I installed VMware player and tried accessing filer from browser of a different PC. I read on Netapp forum that I cannot access filer from same host as its installed on

I recommend giving points to hancoccka, he did provide a recommendation for vmware player which ultimately provided a resolution to the issue.
ASKER
There was no reference to NOT using the same host for browsing NEtapps's server
Therefore at leat partial credit should have been made. Andrew provided at least half the solution for which he should have been awarded points
