Description

  • This article describes the process to upgrade E-Series SANtricity OS or controller firmware in StorageGRID appliances. 
  • While the E-Series storage controllers in StorageGRID appliances use standard E-Series firmware, they do have special NVSRAM (non-volatile static random-access memory). The special NVSRAM MUST be loaded when upgrading the E-Series firmware.

The table below describes the E-Series controllers in each StorageGRID appliance model:

Appliance Model E-Series Controller(s) StorageGRID Controller(s) or Node
SG6160 2x E4000 storage controllers 1x SG6100-CN compute node 
SG58xx 1x E4000 storage controller 1x SG5800 compute controller
SGF6024 2x EF570 storage controllers 1x SG6000-CN compute node
SG60xx 2x E2800 storage controllers 1x SG6000-CN compute node
SG57xx 1x E2800 storage controller 1x E5700SG compute controller
SG56xx 1x E2700 storage controller 1x E5600SG compute controller
