Can I move a StorageGRID Storage Node from one datacenter to another without interruption?
Applies to
NetApp StorageGRID
Answer
- Yes, if you have a minimum amount of 3 Storage Nodes per site and ILM is configured for multiple copies of data.
- Before moving the physical hardware, the node must be shut down (Shutting down grid node).
- Note that moving the physical node does not change the logical placement of the node in StorageGRID sites.
- A decommission/expansion procedures would be necessary if the node is to be moved to a different StorageGRID logical site if necessary.
