Prerequisites

  • A dedicated vSwitch for the Swarm Storage Network before importing VMs with the dual virtual network card.

  • VMs created on VMware ESX 7.0 must be loaded into 7.0U2 or higher (8.x is not supported but has been tested)

  • If using vCenter, use the VMware vAPP OVF datacore-swarm-16.1-ESX-RL8.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.

Info

Important

  • Swarm 16.1 - ESXi-8.0 - can be deployed on ESxi 7.x. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/89305 for end-of-life (EOL) statement regarding VMware ESX 6.x.

  • This is an installation-only bundle, so don’t use this bundle for upgrades.

  • A field engineer needs to modify /usr/lib/system.d/system/elasticsearch_exporter.service if the ES node IP is different.

Info

Info

  • All VMs have dual virtual network cards, one for the public client network and another for the Swarm Storage Network.

  • For SwarmSearch 1, the public-facing network card is not connected for security reasons.

  • All access credentials use the default password “datacore”.

Note

The Memory of SwarmTelemetry has been increased to 2GB, because this is required by Rocky Linux 8
