Parallel Cluster Sync for Multiple Clusters
SMI supports parallel cluster sync triggered from the same inception deployer or cluster manager.
Note | This functionality is currently supported only on Bare Metal and not fully supported on VMware. |
The following enhancements optimize time while downloading artifacts:
-
Only the individual files will be locked to allow subsequent syncs parallely
-
Only the software required to be synced will be downloaded and verified
-
Each sync will perform SHA256 or SHA512 validation on each package
-
For clusters that require different packages, the downloads will happen concurrently
Note | The download process creates file locks that must be persisted for the life of the file. You must not delete or modify the files under any conditions. |
