Upgrading SANtricity OS Software on the E2800 controller using maintenance mode
For storage controllers currently using SANtricity OS older than 08.42.20.00 (11.42), you must
use the maintenance mode procedure to apply an upgrade.
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 NetApp technical support to confirm you need to update the SANtricity
OS, and you know which version you need.
•
You must have the Maintenance permission.
•
You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
About this task
Before you can apply a SANtricity OS Software upgrade, you must place the E5700SG controller
into maintenance mode, which interrupts the connection to the E2800 controller. Before changing
the link configuration, you must place the E5700SG controller controller into maintenance mode.
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 might cause
data unavailability, depending on your deployment
model and ILM policies.
