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 16.1, 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. All the VM’s have been built with Rocky Linux 8.9 OS. For more information, see Swarm 16.1.0 VMware Bundle Rocky Linux 8 Package.
