A partner was looking for a robust NFS server stack they could use for various nefarious purposes, and asked for Isilon. We can’t ship nodes, but it’s widely known we have a VSA version. Can it be shared?
YES.
“As of 7.0.2 there is a EULA they must agree to when doing the initial configuration which satisfies the legal problem of making customers sign an NDA.
Here are the direct download links that any customer/partner/internal person can access via the support site.
If you go to the support site, go products, OneFS and then downloads these show up as a downloadable tool.”
Have fun!
Go to support.emc.com, login, navigate to the Isilon page, tools, and then you can get:
- Isilon OneFS Virtual Nodes 7.0.2.4
Isilon OneFS Virtual Nodes 7.1.0.0
This is part of the ongoing effort inside EMC to make all of our awesome stuff available in software-only variations, and making it easier and easier to access openly for customers, partners and others. Over time, we’ll even more it towards the VERY open accessible model that we’re using with ViPR now (www.emc.com/getvipr – doesn’t get easier than that)
Expect more, and more, and more, and MORE.
Psst… I’ll also share another REALLY cool story. Love your Xbox? Check out the below.
Well done Chad, long overdue...great move!

Most clients I have sold Isilon to has a copy of them. We also have the ability to get the client 90 day eval licenses through salesforce so the can test the different features for a period of time. I also have clients that will is the VSA to test different functions before applying it to the production cluster. Great product.

I may be completely dense (probably), however, I cannot find the download on the EMC site. Any direct link available?

Shawn, go to support.emc.com
Select "support by product"
Enter "onefs" in search box, then select.
Select "Tools", and you should see the download.

I was tasked the project of setting up our 1st Isilon cluster this week. I wanted to try and practice a setup before hand.
Downloaded the OneFS 7.1.0.3 Simulator and had the first simulated node up and running less than 2 minutes, 4 nodes in less than 10 minutes!'
This is awesome!
thanks Chad and the EMC team.
