Maintaining the SG6000 appliance

You might need to perform maintenance procedures on the SG6000 appliance. The procedures in this
section assume that the appliance has already been deployed as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID
system.

Steps

1. 

Upgrading SANtricity OS Software on the storage controllers

2. 

Replacing a storage controller

 on page 87

3. 

Replacing hardware components in the storage controller shelf

 on page 92

4. 

Replacing hardware components in the optional 60-drive expansion shelf

 on page 93

5. 

Replacing the SG6000-CN controller

Upgrading SANtricity OS Software on the storage
controllers

You might need to upgrade the SANtricity OS Software on the storage controllers, if the controllers
are not functioning optimally.

Before you begin

Attention: 

Do not upgrade the SANtricity OS Software or NVSRAM in the E-Series controller

unless directed to do so by technical support. Without the guidance of technical support, your
StorageGRID appliance could become inoperable. Technical support will help you consult the
NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) to determine which versions of SANtricity are
compatible with your appliance.

•

You have contacted technical support to confirm that you need to upgrade the SANtricity OS
Software or NVSRAM and to obtain the compatible files.

•

You must have specific access permissions. For details, see the instructions for administering
StorageGRID.

•

You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.

About this task

Before you can apply a SANtricityOS Software upgrade, you must place the SG6000-CN controller
into maintenance mode, which interrupts the connection to the storage controller. Putting a
StorageGRID appliance into maintenance mode might make the appliance unavailable for remote
access.

Attention: 

Do not upgrade the SANtricity OS Software or NVSRAM in the E-Series controller on

more than one StorageGRID appliance at a time. Doing so may cause data unavailability,
depending on your deployment model and ILM policies.

Steps

1.  If the StorageGRID appliance is running in a StorageGRID system, place the SG6000-CN

controller into maintenance mode.
