Overview
This bundle contains a collection of supported VMware templates for use in proof of concepts and production field deployments. Each VM contains all the necessary DataCore Swarm software as well as its dependencies. The software packages are pre-installed by not configured.
This package contains:
SwarmTelemetry ovf file
Corrected guest OS labels for all VM’s
VMware Hardware Level is now set to 11 across all VM’s
Added SwarmTelemetry: DataCore branded email alert templates
Prerequisites
A dedicated vSwitch for the Swarm Storage Network before importing VM’s that have dual virtual network card.
VM’s created on VMware ESX 6.0 and must be loaded into 6.0U3 and above.
If you have vCenter, use the VMware vAPP OVF datacore-swarm-14.0.1-ESX.ovf to load the entire set of VM’s in one command.
If you are not using vCenter, use an individual OVF for each template. This requires you to specify the associated disk for each VM.
Note:
All the VM’s have dual virtual network cards; one for the public client network and another for the Swarm Storage Network.
For SwarmSearch1, the public-facing network card is not connected for security reasons.
VMware ESX 6.7U3 is required if you use vCenter 6.7.
All access credentials use the default password “datacore”.
