Downloading and extracting the StorageGRID installation files

Before you can recover StorageGRID grid nodes, you must download the software and extract the files to your service laptop.

1. Determine which version of the software is currently installed. From the Grid Manager, go to Help > About.
2. Go to the Software Download page on the NetApp Support Site.

   NetApp Downloads: Software

3. Sign in using the username and password for your NetApp account.
4. Scroll to StorageGRID (formerly StorageGRID Webscale), select All Platforms, and click Go.
5. Select the StorageGRID release, and click View & Download.
6. From the Software Download section of the page, click CONTINUE, and accept the End User License Agreement.
7. Select the .tgz or .zip file for your platform.
   The version shown in the installation archive file must match the version of the software that is currently installed.
   Use the .zip file if you are running Windows on the service laptop.

   Platform	Installation archive
   VMware	StorageGRID-Webscale-version-VMware-uniqueID.tgz StorageGRID-Webscale-version-VMware-uniqueID.zip
   Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS	StorageGRID-Webscale-version-RPM-uniqueID.tgz StorageGRID-Webscale-version-RPM-uniqueID.zip
   Ubuntu or Debian	StorageGRID-Webscale-version-DEB-uniqueID.tgz StorageGRID-Webscale-version-DEB-uniqueID.zip
   OpenStack or other hypervisor	NetApp-provided virtual machine disk files and scripts for OpenStack are no longer supported for recovery operations. If you need to recover a node running in an OpenStack deployment, download the files for your Linux operating system. Then, follow the procedure for replacing a Linux node.

8. Download the archive file.
9. Extract the archive file.
10. Choose the files you need, based on your platform and which grid nodes you need to recover.

    The paths listed in the tables are relative to the top-level directory installed by the archive file.
