Anyone messing around with the Isilon OneFS 8.0 Simulator yet?

I just stood up a 3 node virtual instance, but I'm running into all kinds of limitations on configuring it as a test environment.  Each node is configured with 3 network interfaces, but the only ones that appear to be active in the simulator are em0 and em1 on each node, even though it will list em2 as a functional network interface.  When I try and set up a new Groupnet, with a new subnet, and try to create an interface pool, none of the available network interfaces seem to work.  Of course, I need to be able to test out multiple networks on separate network interfaces because reasons (split domains, etc, etc).  

Anyone got any clues?  Or did EMC cripple the simulator for some reason?

Most likely the situation is similar to OneFS 7.x,
where a SmartConnect Advanced license is required
for setting up multiple networks etc.
True for both real and virtual nodes...

Get a demo license from EMC! --
or try the free OneFS "SD" version,
which comes with most licenses activated but requires
more VM resources, i.e hosts and physical disks.

We have an 8.0 cluster in production - yes FSAnalyse is fixed... Runs daily on a 24 node cluster with over a billion files.  :)

I've worked with the new Isilon SDK and I have a quick little Docker container posted that will get it up and running for PAPI -> InfluxDB using Isilon's provided example program.
