Name of Bundle

Bundle Release Date

Swarm-15.0-ESX-7.0-20220927.zip

September 2022

Purpose

This bundle contains a collection of supported VMware templates for use in proofs of concept and production field deployments. This bundle functions with Swarm Storage 15.0 which is manually installed in SCS and runs on non-VM machines as a separate configuration step. Each VM image in this bundle contains all the necessary DataCore Swarm software and dependencies. The software packages are pre-installed and unconfigured. For customers with VMware ESXi 6.7, installation of the entire group of images is expedited. It is advised to use Swarm Cluster Installer, if possible. This style of bundling will be deprecated in the future. For additional information, see Swarm 15 VMware Bundle Package.

Notes

Note

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