This section describes how to configure a Swarm storage cluster.
To configure a new cluster, modify the configuration (.cfg) file according to the implementation type:
A cluster uses a cluster.cfg if the cluster boots from CSN or Platform Server.
Prepare a node.cfg and boot one of the following ways if the cluster does not boot from CSN or Platform Server:
PXE boot the cluster
Boot the cluster using a centralized configuration server
Boot from a USB flash drive (requires an update to the caringo/node.cfg file in each node with identical settings)
Because of the variety of ways clusters can be configured, the configuration file is referred to generally as the cluster/node config. Understand it to mean the CFG file where Swarm accesses settings for a specific individual cluster.
