Answer

Yes. It is safe to break up the StorageGRID and SANtricity OS upgrades if required due to limited maintenance windows, since the nodes upgrade one at a time. 

To attempt to limit the number of node upgrades to fit in the maintenance window, consider only Approving the nodes that are ready to be stopped and rebooted.

Important Note: Running mismatched versions over a time span does not impact production or the functionality of the StorageGRID, however, it is not typically recommended as best practice.
