Upgrade quick start
Before starting the upgrade, review the general workflow. The StorageGRID Upgrade page guides you through each upgrade step.
If any StorageGRID nodes are deployed on Linux hosts, install the RPM or DEB package on each host before you start the upgrade.
From the primary Admin Node, access the StorageGRID Upgrade page and upload the upgrade file and the hotfix file, if required.
Download the current Recovery Package before you start the upgrade.
Upgrade prechecks help you detect issues, so you can resolve them before you start the actual upgrade.
When you start the upgrade, the prechecks are run again and the primary Admin Node is upgraded automatically. You can't access the Grid Manager while the primary Admin Node is being upgraded. Audit logs will also be unavailable. This upgrade can take up to 30 minutes.
After the primary Admin Node has been upgraded, download a new Recovery Package.
You can approve individual grid nodes, groups of grid nodes, or all grid nodes.
Don't approve the upgrade for a grid node unless you are sure that node is ready to be stopped and rebooted. |
When all grid nodes have been upgraded, new features are enabled and you can resume operations. You must wait to perform a decommission or expansion procedure until the background Upgrade database task and the Final upgrade steps task have completed.
