AOS-CX Switch Simulator

is there a way to get aos-cx switch simulator set up on my nutanix vm thats running eve-ng? i have eve-ng on there and i got the .ova file also on the vm via FTP - but im not able to click on the switches and configure them with the proper networking.

Hi, is your Nutantix environment based on VMware vSphere or is it based on Nutanix AHV? as far as I can tell...I wasn't able to find ArubaOS-CX Simulator documentation related to a deployment using Nutanix AHV (instead there is a plenty of guides about ArubaOS-CX Simulator and VMware vSphere as underlying hypervisor of choice along with KVM, as example).

Hello Arhum, as far as I know and looking at the latest Release Notes easily available of ArubaOS-CX Switch Simulator's OVA (AOS-CX 10.13.1000), these are the supported hypervisor environments (minimum supported versions) for that OVA deployment:

and I don't believe that newer ArubaOS-CX Switch Similator OVA's builds (10.13.xxxx) changed anything about that, yet.
