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,
