Hi @Rizvee ,
I have installed the small ACI Simulator on my computer. However, whenever I shut down my PC and start it again, all the configurations in the simulator are lost.
Is this the regular behavior of the ACI Simulator, or am I missing something?
I'm afraid it certainly is. Has always been that way
Some people try to never shut the sim down, just suspend it between sessions. But I've found that eventually the sim gets screwed up and you have to restart anyway.
If I have to reconfigure everything after every restart, it becomes very challenging for us. In that case, what is the benefit of installing the simulator locally? We could simply use Cisco Dcloud for ACI practice instead.
In fact dCloud is a GREAT resource, but is not ALWAYS available when you want it. And don't forget the sandbox too, (https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/) where there is always an active sim.
The reason I use the sim at times is to test scripts/postman in a non-live system. Easier to do on a sim than dCloud. And once you've built a bank of scripts that create a standard tenant, add a couple of standard BDs etc etc you can recreate your config on the sim in a couple of minutes.
