After a few difficulties i have managed to set up a SRM (site recovery manager) in a Box configuration with the free Netapp Simulator. The problem i had in the previous post, was because i had no data in the volume that has to be snapmirrored. So i created a vm and did an snapmirror update and voila, the LUN was shown in the array configuration. Now i have to create a few vm snaps š before i am going to run the protection plan. Here is a first picture. I will discribe the steps i did in a document as soon as i can.
Update: A complete howto is available now: Get it here

absolutely, great work!!
just one thing, how could we test it , if we are not neither a parter nor a customer for NetApp, anyway, we could find something else to try it?

Hello Jose, only customers or partners have access to the simulator. What you need is a system id or serial number. A other member of the dutch vmug has described a how to with the free available Lefthand Virtual appliance. You can find it here:

Perhaps this gave someone the idea of mixing saltpetre
and charcoal together and setting it alight.
Chinese chefs love bamboo shoots because of its simplicity of material quality which make it easy
to match and assimilate other tastes, in especial to produce a splendid balance with greasy meat.
Bacon is fairly popular in Sichuan, Huanan and Guangdong Province.
For a people who have the strength character, nothing in this world is
impossible. When you want an actual Chiang Mai food experience, a Khan Toke meal is really suggested.
