NetApp - Simulator install

NetApp simulator - useful for training on.

First of all you will need a NetApp account to be able to log on to the site and gain access to the simulator.

Having downloaded the Simulator for ESX and then uploaded it to the relevant host I received a error about the path the VMDK file is invalid.

I managed to get the Simulator up and running by following instructions on the NetApp Community site.
