    Learn about StorageGRID appliances 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.
  • Page 6 The two solid-state drives (SSDs), indicated by the orange outline, might be used for storing the StorageGRID operating system and are mirrored using RAID 1 for redundancy. When the SG100 or SG1000 services appliance is configured as an Admin Node, these drives are used to store audit logs, metrics, and database tables.

    Overview of installation REST APIs StorageGRID provides two REST APIs for performing installation tasks: the StorageGRID Installation API and the StorageGRID Appliance Installer API. Both APIs use the Swagger open source API platform to provide the API documentation. Swagger allows both developers and non-developers to interact with the API in a user interface that illustrates how the API responds to parameters and options.
