Impacts for 9.3Legacy authentication turned off by default - If the integration requires Swarm storage’s legacy auth/auth mechanism, setting "security.noauth = False" in the cluster configuration is necessary before booting this new software version. DataCore recommends that customers migrate to Content Gateway’s more comprehensive access control system. (SWAR-7399, SWAR-7115) Content Gateway 5.2.1+ required - For deployments that use the Content Gateway, upgrade to Content Gateway version 5.2.1 or greater at the same time the storage cluster is upgrading. CSMeter incompatibility - Because of requirements for Elasticsearch 2.3.3, the legacy CSMeter software component of CloudScaler 4.0 and earlier is incompatible with Swarm 9.0 and higher. The improved metering and quota functionality built into Content Gateway has replaced CSMeter. Subclusters Default subcluster - The default subcluster name has changed to "default" rather than blank. Note: if subclustering is not used, while multiple subclusters may appear during the upgrade, there are no post-upgrade actions required. (SWAR-7526) CSN - Subcluster assignments can no longer be blank, and CSN installations with mixed subcluster assignments have the unassigned nodes unable to boot, showing an error in contacting the time source. Supply a subcluster for each node if any named subcluster is specified in the cluster.
Disabled health reports - If cluster health reports is disabled by setting support.uri to blank, Swarm fails to boot. Delete the setting entirely and set support.reportPeriod=0 to suppress reporting without errors.(SWAR-7644) scsp.maxParallelGetRetrieveTasks - The setting scsp.maxParallelGetRetrieveTasks is no longer public and has been removed from the Swarm UI. If scsp.maxParallelGetRetrieveTasks is customized, contact DataCore Support and use snmpset or curl to change it. (SWAR-7560) scsp.autoRecursiveDelete - scsp.autoRecursiveDelete now defaults to True, automatically reclaiming the disk storage for child content of buckets and domains upon deletion of the parent context. (SWAR-7551) createdomain - The createdomain query argument is deprecated and replaced by the Content-type: application/castorcontext header used by the Content Gateway. See Manually Creating and Renaming Domains.
