StorageGRID installation archive

If you need to recover a grid node, you need the StorageGRID installation archive for your platform.

Note: You do not need to download files if you are recovering failed storage volumes on a Storage Node.

Recovery Package .zip file

Obtain a copy of the most recent Recovery Package .zip file: sgws-recovery-package-id-revision.zip

The contents of the .zip file are updated each time the system is modified. You are directed to store the most recent version of the Recovery Package in a secure location after making such changes. Use the most recent copy to recover from grid failures.

If the primary Admin Node is operating normally, you can download the Recovery Package from the Grid Manager. Select Maintenance > System > Recovery Package.

If you cannot access the Grid Manager, you can find encrypted copies of the Recovery Package on some Storage Nodes that contain the ADC service. On each Storage Node, examine this location for the Recovery Package: /var/local/install/sgws-recovery-package-grid-id-revision.zip.gpg Use the Recovery Package with the highest revision number.

Passwords.txt file

Contains the passwords required to access grid nodes on the command line. Included in the Recovery Package.

Provisioning passphrase

The passphrase is created and documented when the StorageGRID system is first installed. The provisioning passphrase is not in the Passwords.txt file.
