how to download unity vsa community edition
How does one go about actually downloading the virtual Unity VSA? I have already registered I click on the download link and receive the below message.
We’re sorry, but we are unable to display the content you requested. If you are a Dell EMC partner and believe you should have access to this resource, please contact your Distributor or Channel Manager to request access. All other questions can be directed to Partner Online Support Team.
So you have to be a partner to get access to a trail download?

I'm having the same problem. I'm going to this URL:
Dell EMC UnityVSA Download | Dell EMC
I'm clicking Download link on the right, thenI'm asked ot logon to my EMC account (customer type) and then getting this:
Unable to access resource

So this is partner-only download ?

This seems to be working now.... I know a week or two ago the link didn't work for me either but once I logged into the Support portal and found it through there it worked.

no - this is for everyone but there we some problems with the public download link which should be fixed now
as a customer you can always download it from support.emc.com as well

yes I think we finally got the download link through www.emc.com/getunity
Note that with a support.emc.com acount (that every customer should have) you can also download the VSA from the support website

Since Dell got involved EMC support has been getting worse. I opened ticket for download issue now a week ago and still no resolution. Some links are broke and then the one which is supposed to work returns file not found. Not sure how hard it is to either place the correct file on the webserver or update the link. I get more and more the feeling EMC will be sooner or later a casualty of DELL and fade away. Also reading thru some posts this does not seem to be the first time you cant download this ovm. One person mentioned you can search for it on support site which seem to no longer be an option either.

I am having the same problem downloading this software. I click on agree and download...I get redirected to a EMC page and then it says File not found.
I spoke with on line support and they got the same error.....is there a FTP site or somewhere i can download the community edition. Or if someone has it can you share it with me?
Thank you.
Patrick

It's still downloadable from the support site:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/unityvsa-(virtual-storage-appliance)/drivers
The download from here:https://www.delltechnologies.com/en-us/products-solutions/trial-software-download/eula/unityvsa.htm seems to work for me connected to the Dell network, but not off it. I'll see what I can do internally to raise the issue.

Yes, I can get to the support website but on it , I get only the Dell EMC UnityVSA High Availability Deployment Utility (Windows 32-bit) or other OS version but not the actual ovm file.

Still does not work...
I tried to contact the support.... looks a bit unwilling to do something about a "free" product....
i will think twice before i go ahead with dell EMC...

Hi @ChrisHolloway
Thanks for your help, download link works now. I was able to download the ova file and upload it to a datastore.
However seems like now the link to get the license key (to complete the installation) is not working. Please find the following thread in regards to this new issue: https://www.dell.com/community/Unity/verify-network-error/m-p/7731065#M4235
Would you be able to contact the relevant team and let them know about this new issue?
Thanks in advance for your help on this.
Regards,
