A big up to this YouTube video:
It takes you through all the steps to configure a standard best practice FabricPool setup with StorageGRID:
Before starting you might like to do (consideration for 11.6 too) if this is a new deployment:- StorageGRID Hotfix / upgrade
- Create a Storage Pool for your site
- (11.6) Configuration > Grid Options > Stored Object Encryption (if desired)
- (11.7) Configuration > Security settings > Network and objects > Stored Object Encryption (if desired)
- Support > AutoSupport
- Also do for any E-Series storage arrays in SANtricity System Manager.
- (11.6) Create Tenant. Create Bucket (with Read-after-new-write (default) consistency). Create Access Key.
