VNX Simulator 8.1.0-38015 how do you configure server_3 slot_3

I've been playing with the latest simulator and I would like to utilize the dual datamover part of it. I downloaded the package that was supposed to have two datamovers but slot_3 is showing as empty.

[root@localhost nasadmin]# /nas/sbin/getreason

10 - slot_0 primary control station

5 - slot_2 contacted

[root@localhost nasadmin]# nas_server -l

id      type  acl  slot groupID  state  name

1        1    0     2              0    server_2

2        4    0     3              0    server_3

[root@localhost nasadmin]# nas_inventory -l

Component                                Type                 Status                    System ID

Clariion CX600 BB000C291078CE            Clariion             OK                        Clariion CX600 BB000C291078CE

Control Station 0                        Control Station      OK                        VNX VG2 BB000C291078CE0000

DME 0 Data Mover 2                       Data Mover           OK                        VNX VG2 BB000C291078CE0000

DME 0 Data Mover 2 Personality           Personality          OK                        VNX VG2 BB000C291078CE0000

DME 0 Data Mover 3                       Data Mover           slot_empty                VNX VG2 BB000C291078CE0000

The PDF for the installation and configuration of the simulator isn't very helpful when it comes to the second datamover.

Has anyone else had any luck configuring the secondary datamover? I don't know if it will help but I attached support materials

I'm confirming what Dave OSullivan indicated.

Starting the VM with greater than the default 4GB of RAM is what is needed. The picture I've attached shows a machine that with 4GB of RAM and no server_3 after the upgrade to 8 GB of RAM; each Data Mover is roughly at 50% on a relatively fresh host.

Update:

I decided to read the actual installation document which states "Host system must have a minimum of 6.0 GB of RAM" followed by "You may have to increase the memory simulated by the virtual machine.": This is in accurate. You _MUST_ increase the virtual machine memory to the stated amount.

HTH,

Matthew
