Prerequisites
A dedicated vSwitch for the Swarm Storage Network before importing VMs with the dual virtual network card.
VMs are created on VMware ESX 7.0 and must be loaded into 6.7U3 and above.
If using vCenter, use the VMware vAPP OVF datacore-swarm-14.1.2-ESX.ovf to load the entire set of VMs in one command. Must include the nvram files as well.
If not using vCenter, use an individual OVF for each template. This requires specifying the associated disk for each VM.

Deployment RequirementSwarm 14.1 - ESXi-7.0 - Update 3 can be deployed on ESXi 6.7 and above. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83223 for the end-of-life (EOL) statement regarding ESX 6.x. |
