SG100 and SG1000 appliances overview
The StorageGRID SG100 services appliance and the SG1000 services appliance can operate as a
Gateway Node and as an Admin Node to provide high availability load balancing services in a
StorageGRID system. Both appliances can operate as Gateway Nodes and Admin Nodes (primary
or non-primary) at the same time.
Appliance features
Both models of the services appliance provide the following features:
• Gateway Node or Admin Node functions for a StorageGRID system.
• The StorageGRID Appliance Installer to simplify node deployment and configuration.
• When deployed, can access StorageGRID software from an existing Admin Node or from
software downloaded to a local drive. To further simplify the deployment process, a recent
version of the software is preloaded onto the appliance during manufacturing.
• A baseboard management controller (BMC) for monitoring and diagnosing some of the
appliance hardware.
• The ability to connect to all three StorageGRID networks, including the Grid Network, the
Admin Network, and the Client Network:
◦The SG100 supports up to four 10- or 25-GbE connections to the Grid Network and Client
Network.
◦The SG1000 supports up to four 10-, 25-, 40-, or 100-GbE connections to the Grid Network
and Client Network.

SG100 and SG1000 appliances overview

SG100 and SG1000 applications
You can configure the StorageGRID services appliances in various ways to provide gateway
services as well as redundancy of some grid administration services.
Appliances can be deployed in the following ways:
• Add to a new or existing grid as a Gateway Node
• Add to a new grid as a primary or non-primary Admin Node, or to an existing grid as a non-
primary Admin Node
• Operate as a Gateway Node and Admin Node (primary or non-primary) at the same time
The appliance facilitates the use of high availability (HA) groups and intelligent load balancing for
S3 or Swift data path connections.
The following examples describe how you can maximize the capabilities of the appliance:
• Use two SG100 or two SG1000 appliances to provide gateway services by configuring them as
Gateway Nodes.
Attention: Do not deploy the SG100 and SG1000
service appliances in the same site. Unpredictable
performance might result.
• Use two SG100 or two SG1000 appliances to provide redundancy of some grid administration
services. Do this by configuring each appliance as Admin Nodes.
• Use two SG100 or two SG1000 appliances to provide highly available load balancing and
traffic shaping services accessed through one or more virtual IP addresses. Do this by
configuring the appliances as any combination of Admin Nodes or Gateway Nodes and adding
both nodes to the same HA group.
Attention: If you use Admin Nodes and Gateway
Nodes in the same HA group, CLB (Connection Load
Balancer) ports and Admin Node-only ports will not
fail over. For instructions for configuring HA groups,
see the instructions for administering StorageGRID.
Note: The CLB service is deprecated.
When used with StorageGRID storage appliances, both the SG100 and the SG1000 services
appliances enable deployment of appliance-only grids with no dependencies on external
hypervisors or compute hardware.

Reviewing appliance network connections
Before installing the StorageGRID appliance, you should understand which networks can be
connected to the appliance.
When you deploy a StorageGRID appliance as a node in a StorageGRID system, you can connect
it to the following networks:
•Grid Network for StorageGRID: The Grid Network is used for all internal StorageGRID
traffic. It provides connectivity between all nodes in the grid, across all sites and subnets. The
Grid Network is required.
•Admin Network for StorageGRID: The Admin Network is a closed network used for system
administration and maintenance. The Admin Network is typically a private network and does
not need to be routable between sites. The Admin Network is optional.
•Client Network for StorageGRID: The Client Network is an open network used to provide
access to client applications, including S3 and Swift. The Client Network provides client
protocol access to the grid, so the Grid Network can be isolated and secured. You can
configure the Client Network so that the appliance can be accessed over this network using
only the ports you choose to open. The Client Network is optional.
•BMC management network for the services appliance: This network provides access to the
baseboard management controller in the SG100 and SG1000, appliances allowing you to
monitor and manage the hardware components in the appliance. This management network can
be the same as the Admin Network for StorageGRID, or it can be an independent management
network.

Port bond modes for the SG100 and SG1000 appliances
When configuring network links for the SG100 and SG1000 appliances, you can use port bonding
for the ports that connect to the Grid Network and optional Client Network, and the 1-GbE
management ports that connect to the optional Admin Network. Port bonding helps protect your
data by providing redundant paths between StorageGRID networks and the appliance.
Network bond modes
The networking ports on the services appliance support Fixed port bond mode or Aggregate port
bond mode for the Grid Network and Client Network connections.
Fixed port bond mode
Fixed port bond mode is the default configuration for the networking ports.
SG100 fixed port bond mode
SG1000 fixed port bond mode
Callout Which ports are bonded
C Ports 1 and 3 are bonded together for the Client Network, if this network is used.
G Ports 2 and 4 are bonded together for the Grid Network.
When using Fixed port bond mode, the ports can be bonded using active-backup mode or Link
Aggregation Control Protocol mode (LACP 802.3ad).
• In active-backup mode (default), only one port is active at a time. If the active port fails, its
backup port automatically provides a failover connection. Port 4 provides a backup path for
port 2 (Grid Network), and port 3 provides a backup path for port 1 (Client Network).
• In LACP mode, each pair of ports forms a logical channel between the services appliance and
the network, allowing for higher throughput. If one port fails, the other port continues to
provide the channel. Throughput is reduced, but connectivity is not impacted.
Note: If you do not need redundant connections, you can use only one port for each network.
However, be aware that the Services appliance link down alert might be triggered in the Grid
Manager after StorageGRID is installed, indicating that a cable is unplugged. You can safely
disable this alert rule.
Aggregate port bond mode
Aggregate port bond mode significantly increases the throughput for each StorageGRID network
and provides additional failover paths.
SG100 aggregate port bond mode
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide for SG100 and SG1000 Appliances 14
Preparing for installation

SG1000 aggregate port bond mode
Callout Which ports are bonded
1 All connected ports are grouped in a single LACP bond, allowing all ports to be used for Grid Network
and Client Network traffic.
If you plan to use aggregate port bond mode:
• You must use LACP network bond mode.
• You must specify a unique VLAN tag for each network. This VLAN tag will be added to each
network packet to ensure that network traffic is routed to the correct network.
• The ports must be connected to switches that can support VLAN and LACP. If multiple
switches are participating in the LACP bond, the switches must support multi-chassis link
aggregation groups (MLAG), or equivalent.
• You must understand how to configure the switches to use VLAN, LACP, and MLAG, or
equivalent.
If you do not want to use all four ports, you can use one, two, or three ports. Using more than one
port maximizes the chance that some network connectivity will remain available if one of the ports
fails.
Note: If you choose to use fewer than four network ports, be aware that a Services appliance
link down alert might be triggered in the Grid Manager after the appliance node is installed,
indicating that a cable is unplugged. You can safely disable this alert rule for the triggered alert.
Network bond modes for the management ports
For the two 1-GbE management ports on the services appliance, you can choose Independent
network bond mode or Active-Backup network bond mode to connect to the optional Admin
Network.
SG100 network management ports
SG1000 network management ports
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide for SG100 and SG1000 Appliances 15
Preparing for installation

In Independent mode, only the management port on the left is connected to the Admin Network.
This mode does not provide a redundant path. The management port on the right is unconnected
and available for temporary local connections (uses IP address 169.254.0.1)
In Active-Backup mode, both management ports are connected to the Admin Network. Only one
port is active at a time. If the active port fails, its backup port automatically provides a failover
connection. Bonding these two physical ports into one logical management port provides a
redundant path to the Admin Network.
Note: If you need to make a temporary local connection to the services appliance when the 1-
GbE management ports are configured for Active-Backup mode, remove the cables from both
management ports, plug your temporary cable into the management port on the right, and access
the appliance using IP address 169.254.0.1.
Callout Network bond mode
A Active-Backup mode. Both management ports are bonded into one logical management port connected
to the Admin Network.
I Independent mode. The port on the left is connected to the Admin Network. The port on the right is
available for temporary local connections (IP address 169.254.0.1).
Gathering installation information
As you install and configure the StorageGRID appliance, you must make decisions and gather
information about Ethernet switch ports, IP addresses, and port and network bond modes.
About this task
You can use the following tables to record the required information for each network you connect
to the appliance. These values are required to install and configure the hardware.

MAC address for the Admin Network port
Note: The MAC address label on the front of the
appliance lists the MAC address for the BMC
management port. To determine the MAC address for
the Admin Network port, you must add 2to the
hexadecimal number on the label. For example, if the
MAC address on the label ends in 09, the MAC
address for the Admin Port would end in 0B. If the
MAC address on the label ends in (y)FF, the MAC
address for the Admin Port would end in (y+1)01. You
can easily make this calculation by opening Calculator
in Windows, setting it to Programmer mode, selecting
Hex, typing the MAC address, then typing + 2 =.
