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.

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.
