#From OCI Marketplace
This article provides a step-by-step guide to deploy the SWIFT from the OCI Marketplace.
1. Login to the OCI Cloud.
2. Navigate the Marketplace on OCI console.
3. Click on "All Application".
4. Enter the product name "SWIFT" in the search box. Our SWIFT templates will appear, select the one that fits your use case.
5. Once you select a template, the screen below will appear, showing the latest SWIFT version and compartment details. Then, click on "Launch Instance."
6. Next, provide the name of the instance you are going to deploy. You will then see the RackWare SWIFT template image.
7. Enter the networking details such as VCN and subnet, and provide the SSH key information for how you would like to connect to the instance once it is created. If you want to attach a block volume to the instance, you can create it at this stage.
8. It will create an instance on OCI that having SWIFT.
9. You can connect to the created instance with default "opc" user and check the SWIFT version and license first to verify that SWIFT has been deployed correctly. Please find below the commands to run on the created VM.
- sudo su - (Change the user to root)
- sc swift show (Show SWIFT version)
- sc st sh (Show the license)
10. Set up the password for admin user with below command and access the SWIFT dashboard.
Set up the password: sc user modify admin --password "R@ckware123"
Access the dashboard : https://<swift-ip>/swift/dashboard/
To access the SWIFT dashboard, you need to whitelist port 443 in the ingress rules of the security list or network security group associated with the instance.
11. You can also download the Operations Guide and Pre-requisites/Installation Guide from the dashboard. Simply click on the respective links. Please refer to the snippet below for guidance.
12. Once you access the SWIFT dashboard, log in with your credentials. You will be directed to the container cluster page. Please see the snippet below for reference.
13. Once you are here, now time to activate your SWIFT! If you are using DR or Migration-Subscription instance then your SWIFT is already pre-activated and ready to go (Billing is Pay-as-you-go). If you are using BYOL instance, then by default SWIFT is pre-activated with free Migration trial licenses and ready to use too. If you want to convert/extend SWIFT trial licenses to production licenses on your BYOL instance, then use this below KB link to find steps on how to do that.
