Swarm15.0-ESXi-7.0 | 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 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 [DRAFT] Swarm 15 VMware Bundle Package.
Notes
This is an installation-only bundle, so don’t use this bundle for upgrades.
Swarm 15.0 - ESXi-7.0 - can be deployed on ESXi 6.7 and above. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83223 for end of life (EOL) statement regarding VMware ESX 6.x.
A field engineer needs to modify /usr/lib/system.d/system/elasticsearch_exporter.service if the ES node IP is different.
