How to Deploy

To install Swarm Storage, you first enlist Enlist the chassis and then deploy them for management and orchestration to install Swarm Storage. Swarm Platform supports any chassis that is equipped with IPMI 2.0 or newer.

1. Power on each chassis that will be planned as a Swarm storage node. Each chassis will PXE boot boots from the Platform server, enlist enlists itself with Platform, and shut shuts itself down.

2. After enlistment completes, list List the chassis that are currently available currently to run Swarm after enlistment completes:

   Code Block
   language bash
   platform list nodes

   The number of chassis returned will be is the value to use in the next step for -n, unless you will be keeping some unless some are kept in reserve.

3. Deploy Swarm Storage to the chassis being managed by Platform:

   Code Block
   language bash
   platform deploy storage -v {#.#.# Version of Swarm Storage} -c {Path to cluster.cfg} -n {# Nodes To Deploy}

   
   

4. At this point, the Platform will power on each of the nodes twice. The first power on is commissioning, involving hardware interrogation and other tasks, which ends with a power off. The second power on is to boot Swarm Storage on the chassis.

5. Once Swarm is running, deploy Content Gateway, or, if not using Content Gateway, proceed to Deploying a Proxy.

   Code Block
   language bash
   platform deploy proxy -b {Path to Service Proxy Bundle zip}
