Changes in Swarm Cluster Installer (SCI) 2.0

Improvements

This release features the following improvements:

  • Simplified cluster configuration - Cluster configuration now happens via a centralized API. This eliminates the need to maintain multiple files at the cluster and node levels.

  • Improved command-line interface - A simplified command-line interface now allows for easier Swarm administration. See [DRAFT] Platform CLI Commands. 

  • Simplified storage node deployment - No per-node deployment or provisioning steps are required to start a Swarm Storage node. New nodes join the cluster on boot.

Info

Required integrations

This version requires Swarm 14.0 or later, Gateway version 7.6 or later, and SwarmNFS version 2.1 or later, if used.

Limitations

...

There is no UI support for this release (UIS-1137)

...

There is no support for using gPXE instead of iPXE in this release (PLT-60)

...

  • UI-Based Installation: The SCI 2.0 is a UI-based solution for automatic installation and configuring the Swarm ecosystem on VMware vCenter.

  • Simplified Deployment: No complex CLI commands or steps are required as SCI 2.0 provides an ability to generate configurations based on the expected workload.

  • Simplified Data Protection Solution: Bucket lifecycle policies allow a bucket owner to use versions without worrying about the manual cleanup of old versions. This data protection mechanism mitigates concerns about runaway cluster space usage by limiting version accumulation.

Info

Required

vCenter credentials, vCenter infrastructure details, and Swarm Installer package is required to install and deploy SCI 2.0.

Limitations

  • SCI 2.0 UI-based installation is performed in the VMware vCenter environment.

  • Bucket Lifecycle Policy installation supports Gateway 7.9, Content Portal 7.6, and Swarm Storage 14.1 versions.
