I have just downloaded the SAN/iQ Laptop Demo and have the VSA appliance running on my Macbook Pro using VMware Fusion. I have changed the Network configuration to use the "Bridged" network.
I also have a Windows Vista Enterprise VM (also using the "Bridged" network) that is running the Centralized Management Console.
The console finds the storage module with no problem but when I try to log in, I get the following error:
Unable to log in to storage module vsa-1 (192.168.5.200)
because Connection reset by peer: socket write error.
I know that the demos are not officially supported, but does anyone here have any thoughts on this issue?

I've never seen that but have a flat out guess for you.
Is there any firewall software on either of those systems?
The mac or the windows?
If so try disabling both of them and see if that helps.

I had disabled the firewall on the system running the CMC and that didn't help.
But as they say, time heals all wounds. After letting the system just sit there with the CMC running for the last few hours - not paying much attention to it - I went back and tried to log in again and it worked. I was able to configure the RAID and was looking forward to getting on with my testing. I then tried closing the CMC and re-opening it to see if I could log in right away and now it can't even find the module. So I don't know what's going on.

| I did a little more testing and it appears to take 30 minutes from when I type "start" in the demo VM until I can log into it through the CRC. But still, once I close the CRC, it will no find the module again until I restart the VM and type "start" again.

That is very odd.
I run 4 VSA at once on my laptop and as soon as I give the IP addresses I can find them in the UI, repeatedly.
You don't have to type start to do anything except assign name and IP the first use, not on subsequent reboots.
Can you try bringing up another vm on the mac with linux or win in it so you can run the CMC there, put both VMs (the VSA being one) on NAT, and see if that changes anything? I suspect networking issues or you have the slowest running setup for a single VSA I've ever heard of.
