The StorageGRID Appliance Installer automatically installs the latest E-Series drive firmware files during appliance reboot.
E-Series drive firmware files are included in the StorageGRID software. These updates are installed automatically whenever a StorageGRID appliance reboots:
-
Into maintenance mode
-
As part of a rolling reboot
-
During a StorageGRID version upgrade or hotfix installation
-
During a SANtricity OS upgrade using maintenance mode
|
The drive firmware upgrade isn't attempted for nodes with a status of Needs Attention. |
|
While an appliance reboots, I/O (input/output) activity to the storage controller is stopped. |
You can also install drive firmware upgrades manually using the SANtricity System Manager online or offline method:
-
To apply a new drive firmware upgrade before it's packaged in the StorageGRID software
-
If an automatic drive firmware upgrade fails
-
To use the SANtricity System Manager online drive firmware upgrade from Grid Manager instead of rebooting the node
