Before starting the upgrade, you must verify that the previous version of StorageGRID is currently installed with the latest available hotfix applied.

Steps

  1. Sign in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.

  2. Select Help > About.

  3. Verify that the Version is 11.4.x.y.

    In the StorageGRID 11.4.x.y version number:

    • The major release has an x value of 0 (11.4.0).

    • A minor release, if available, has an x value other than 0 (for example, 11.4.1).

    • A hotfix, if available, has a y value (for example, 11.4.0.1).

    Important If you have an earlier version of StorageGRID, you must upgrade to any 11.4 version before upgrading to StorageGRID 11.5. You do not need to be at the highest 11.4 minor-version release to upgrade to StorageGRID 11.5.

  4. If you are not at a StorageGRID 11.4 version you must upgrade to version 11.4, one release at a time, using the instructions for each release.

    You must also apply the latest hotfix for each StorageGRID version before upgrading to the next level.

    One possible upgrade path is shown in the example.

  5. Once you are at StorageGRID 11.4, go to the NetApp Downloads page for StorageGRID and see if any hotfixes are available for your StorageGRID 11.4.x version.

    NetApp Downloads: StorageGRID

  6. Verify that your StorageGRID 11.4.x version has the latest hotfix applied.

  7. If necessary, download and apply the latest StorageGRID 11.4.x.y hotfix for your StorageGRID 11.4.x version.

    See the recovery and maintenance instructions for information about applying hotfixes.

Example: Preparing to upgrade to StorageGRID 11.5 from version 11.3.0.8

The following example shows the upgrade steps to prepare for an upgrade from StorageGRID version 11.3.0.8 to version 11.5. Before you can upgrade to StorageGRID 11.5, your system must have a StorageGRID 11.4 version installed with the latest hotfix.

Download and install software in the following sequence to prepare your system for upgrade:

  1. Apply the latest StorageGRID 11.3.0.y hotfix.

  2. Upgrade to the StorageGRID 11.4.0 major release. (You do not need to install any 11.4.x minor releases.)

  3. Apply the latest StorageGRID 11.4.0.y hotfix.
