1. Determine the following:

   1. What subnet Platform will managemanages

   2. Which network interface on the server is connected to that subnet

2. Use the following Linux command to find the interface name:

   Code Block
   language bash
   ifconfig

3. Document any IP addresses not to be leased by Platform (reserved range).
   For example, for HSRP ranges: x.x.x.1-x.x.x.3 or x.x.x.252-x.x.x.254

4. Determine the number of nodes (chassis) anticipated for this cluster and select a subnet range for their IP addresses (dynamic range).
   For example, for a cluster of 10 chassis, the subnet range might be: x.x.x.240 - x.x.x.249

5. Download the latest bundle from the Downloads section on the DataCore Support Portal: Swarm-VERSION-DATE.zip

6. Transfer the Swarm components (ZIP files) to the Platform server:

   • Platform Server (non-OVA install) — caringo-platform-VERSION.zip

   • Service Proxy (To host the Swarm Storage UI if Content Gateway is not available) — serviceproxy-VERSION.zip

   • Swarm Storage — storage-VERSION.zip

...

If you are installing the Platform server under any of these conditions, be sure to add the verify offline (-o) flag is added when installing the software or running reinit.sh. (v10.0). When installing via the OVA and running the re_init.sh script, while reason #1 above does not apply, the offline (-o) flag will configure the Platform server to operate without Internet connectivity for reason #2 and #3 above.

...

1. Import the OVA file into your ESXi/vSphere environment. During the import process, add any network interfaces and configure as necessary.

   Info
   title Private subnet
   To support a private subnet for Storage and Elasticsearch nodes, the Platform server needs both public and private network interfaces (like the dual-network CSN). Important: With nodes on a private subnet, you must complete Deploying a Proxy to provide access to the health report server and other network resources, such as replication feed targets, NTP servers, and DNS. Without an interface into that private network, the Swarm UI cannot be accessed by an external browser.

2. Once the OVA is imported and booted for the first time, configure the networking as necessary within the OS. You can ssh into the Platform server using the following username/password: caringoadmin/caringo

3. Once the networking configuration completes and validates, run the following command where STORAGE_NIC_IP is the static IP of the NIC connected to the storage network:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo /opt/reinit.sh -i STORAGE_NIC_IP

   Info
   title Offline mode
   If the server cannot access the Internet, use Offline mode by adding the -o flag when running reinit.sh.

   Info
   title Important
   If you enter the wrong IP address in the above command, the bootstrap command will be caught waiting and not return. See "Bootstrap Command Hangs" in Legacy Platform Troubleshooting.

4. When the reinit.sh script has finished, reboot the Platform Server.
