show how to install and configure ONTAP simulator in KVM automatically
Netapp officially only supports the installation of ONTAP simulator with VMware,
but this requires a lot of manual operations and cannot be automated.
In order to run this script correctly, you need a x86_64 PC or laptop with >16G RAM, and the OS shoud be CentOS-7/RHEL-7/Fedora-30 or higher. (verified on Fedora-{32..39}, RHEL-9.{1..4}, RHEL-8.{2..10}, RHEL-7.{8,9}, Debian-12.5, openSUSE-15.5)
#Note: We can not bring up ONTAP-9.9 and higher Version on RHEL-7, So it is recommended to use the latest version of Fedora, RHEL-9/Rocky-9, RHEL-8/Rocky-8
#[Update: 2024-03-29] with latest kiss-vm, we can also bring up ONTAP-13.1 on latest Debian-12.5, openSUSE-15.5 and latest archlinux
You also need to install kiss-vm-ns in advance:
#1. kiss-vm
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tcler/kiss-vm-ns; sudo make -C kiss-vm-ns; sudo vm prepare
#*2. if you are non-root user, open new terminal and continue
