About upgrading SANtricity OS on a SG5800 storage controller
To ensure optimal functioning of the storage controller, you must upgrade to the latest maintenance release of the SANtricity OS that is qualified for your StorageGRID appliance.
Determine the newest SANtricity OS version that has been qualified for use on your StorageGRID appliance by consulting NetApp Downloads: StorageGRID Appliance and downloading it if needed.
Download the new SANtricity OS Software file from NetApp Downloads: StorageGRID Appliance.
Use one of the following procedures based on the version of SANtricity OS currently installed:
-
If the storage controller is using SANtricity OS 08.42.20.00 (11.42) or newer, use the Grid Manager to perform the upgrade.
-
If the storage controller is using a SANtricity OS version older than 08.42.20.00 (11.42), use maintenance mode to perform the upgrade.
