About this task
CAUTION:
The following steps are only applicable when you are using the Grid Manager to perform the upgrade. The storage controllers in the SG6000 series appliances cannot be upgraded using the Grid Manager when the controllers are using SANtricity OS older than 08.42.20.00 (11.42).
Note: You cannot perform other software updates (StorageGRID software upgrade or a hotfix) until you have completed the SANtricity OS upgrade process. If you attempt to start a hotfix or a StorageGRID software upgrade before the SANtricity OS upgrade process has finished, you are redirected to the SANtricity OS upgrade page.
Note: The procedure will not be complete until the SANtricity OS upgrade has been successfully applied to all applicable nodes. It might take more than 30 minutes to load the SANtricity OS software on each node and up to 90 minutes to reboot each StorageGRID storage appliance.
Note: This procedure will automatically upgrade the NVSRAM to the most recent version associated with the SANtricity OS upgrade.
