Before you can add new grid nodes or a new data center site, you must download the appropriate StorageGRID installation archive and extract the files to the service laptop.
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 |
|
Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS |
|
Ubuntu or Debian and Appliance |
|
OpenStack/other Hypervisor | To expand an existing deployment on OpenStack, you must deploy a virtual machine running one of the supported Linux distributions listed above and follow the appropriate instructions for Linux. |
The paths listed in the tables are relative to the top-level directory installed by the archive file.
