Certain component settings ship without defaults, as these settings are unique to the environment in which Swarm runs. The CLI prompts for the component values while adding the software. If any of these settings are skipped, the CLI prompts again during the finalization of Swarm configuration settings.

disk.encryptNewVolumes

This setting enables encryption at rest. It is recommended to avoid encryption at rest unless specified by DataCore Support team. Contact DataCore Support team for configuration assistance after SCS installation and configuration if use of encryption at rest is desired. Choose Later at the group and/or instance level to skip this step.

disk.volumes

This setting governs which volumes on the chassis Swarm storage will use. Enter all when prompted for the disk.volumes setting’s default value unless instructed by DataCore.

...

Once the software is added, provide a group name when prompted to define a cluster for Swarm Storage nodes.

Note

Warning

If you are deploying an SCS with an existing storage cluster, this group value MUST be the same as the cluster.name value of the existing storage cluster.

The failure causes an initialization error for the cluster on boot-up (the Persistent Settings Stream stores the cluster.name and does not match the cluster name stored in SCS) and requires resetting and re-initializing the SCS. https://perifery.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/public/pages/1223491694/SCS+CLI+Commands#scsctl-system-reset

Info

The group name is used as the cluster name. The group description is optional and for human administrator purposes.
