Version 2.2.0 or later of VirtualBox is required. Follow these steps to import the Simulator:
- Decompress the SunStorageVBox.zip archive.
- Select "Import Appliance" in VirtualBox.
- Select the VM labeled "Sun Storage VirtualBox" and start the VM.
VMware
To load the Simulator into VMware:
- Decompress the SunStorageVMware.zip archive.
- On Macs, simply double-click the Sun Storage VMware icon.
- On Windows, from VMware select the "uni.vmx" file.
Setup
When the simulator initially boots you will be prompted for some basic network settings (this is exactly the same as if you were using an actual 7110, 7210 or 7410). Many of these should be filled in for you. Here are some tips if you're unsure how to fill in any of the required fields:
- Host Name: Any name you want.
- DNS Domain: "localdomain"
- Default Router: The same as the IP address, but put 1 as the final octet.
- DNS Server: The same as the IP address, but put 1 as the final octet.
- Password: Whatever you want.
After you enter this information, wait until the screen provides you with a URL to use for subsequent configuration and administration. Use the version of the URL with the IP address (for example, https://192.168.56.3:215/) rather than the host name in your web browser to complete appliance configuration.
