Changes in Swarm Cluster Installer (SCI) 2.0

Improvements

This release features the following improvements:

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

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

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.
