Verify the installed version of StorageGRID
Before starting the upgrade, verify that the previous version of StorageGRID is currently installed with the latest available hotfix applied.
Before you upgrade to StorageGRID 12.0, your grid must have StorageGRID 11.9.0.8 or later installed. If you are currently using a previous version of StorageGRID, you must install all previous upgrade files along with their latest hotfixes (strongly recommended) until your grid's current version is at least StorageGRID 11.9.0.8.
One possible upgrade path is shown in the example.

NetApp strongly recommends that you apply the latest hotfix for each StorageGRID version before upgrading to the next version and that you also apply the latest hotfix for each new version you install. In some cases, you must apply a hotfix to avoid the risk of data loss. Refer to NetApp Downloads: StorageGRID and the release notes for each hotfix to learn more. |
