esxi 6.5 and ontap 8 simulator

Hi,

  I'm attempting to lauch an otap simlator instance to do so POC work before attempting in prodcution and having some difficulty importing the NA provided OVA's.  Using esxi 6.5 import feature, I get a 'Failed to deploy VM: postNFCData failed' message and the process hangs on the first disk.  I've tried expanding out the ova and converting it to an ovf, same result.  Anyone else have this trouble or any suggestions to presue?

Thanks!
