Steps

  1. View the Summary page.

  2. Verify that all of the grid configuration information is correct. Use the Modify links on the Summary page to go back and correct any errors.

  3. Click Install.

    Note If a node is configured to use the Client Network, the default gateway for that node switches from the grid network to the Client Network when you click Install. If you lose connectivity, make sure that you are accessing the primary Admin Node through an accessible subnet. For more information, see "Network Installation and Provisioning."

  4. Click Download Recovery Package.

    When the installation progresses to the point where the grid topology is defined, you are prompted to download the Recovery Package file (.zip) and confirm that you can access the contents of this file. You must download the Recovery Package file so that you can recover the StorageGRID system in case one or more grid nodes fail.

    Verify that you can extract the contents of the .zip file and then save it in two safe, secure, and separate locations.

    Caution The Recovery Package file must be secured because it contains encryption keys and passwords that can be used to obtain data from the StorageGRID system.

  5. Select the I Have Successfully Downloaded and Verified the Recovery Package File option and then click Next.

    When the Complete stage is reached for all grid nodes, the sign-in page for Grid Manager opens.

  6. Sign in to Grid Manager as the root user with the password that you specified during the installation.
