Maintaining the SG5600 appliance
You might need to upgrade the SANtricity OS Software on the E2700 controller, replace the E2700
controller or the E5600SG controller, or replace specific components. The procedures in this section
assume that the appliance has already been deployed as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID system.

Upgrading SANtricity OS Software on the E2700 controller
You might need to upgrade the SANtricity OS controller software on the E2700 controller if the
controller is operational but 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 SANtricity OS Software upgrade, you must place the E5600SG controller
into maintenance mode, which interrupts the connection to the E2700 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 E5600SG controller
into maintenance mode.
a. From the Grid Manager, select Nodes.
b. Select the appliance Storage Node.
