■Name of the affected storage array

■Host IP address (only for a storage array managed through a host-agent)

■Host name/ID (shown as directly managed if the storage array is managed through each controller's Ethernet connection)

■Event error type related to an Event Log entry

■Date and time when the event occurred

■Brief description of the event

Note – IMPORTANT To set up alert notifications using SNMP traps, you must copy and compile a management information base (MIB) file on the designated network management station. Refer to the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide for more information.

There are three key steps involved in configuring alert notifications:

1.Select a node in the Enterprise Management Window that will display alert notifications for the storage arrays you want to monitor. You can set the alert notifications at any level:

■Every storage array being managed

■Every storage array attached and managed through a particular host

■An individual storage array

2.Configure e-mail destinations, if desired. You must provide a mail server name and an e-mail sender address for the e-mail addresses to work.

3.Configure SNMP trap destinations, if desired. The SNMP trap destination is the IP address or the host name of a station running an SNMP service, such as a Network Management Station.

Customer Support Alert Notifications

Note – IMPORTANT If you do not configure the customer support alert notifications option, thee-mail alert notification will contain only a summary of the critical event. If you do configure this option, all specified e-mail addresses will receive the summary, detailed information about the affected storage array, and the specified contact information.

The Enterprise Management Window contains options to configure the system to send e-mail notifications to a specified customer support group if a critical event occurs on a storage array. After it is configured, the e-mail alert notification includes a summary of the critical event, details about the affected storage array, and customer contact information. Contact technical support for more information about setting up this file.

Configuring customer support alert notifications involves the following:

5310 NAS specifications

Sun Microsystems, known for its innovative computing solutions, launched the Sun 5310 Network Attached Storage (NAS) system, which marked a significant advancement in the realm of storage solutions in the early 2000s. The 5310 NAS was designed to provide high-performance, reliable, and scalable storage tailored for enterprise environments.

One of the standout features of the Sun 5310 NAS is its file-serving capabilities, which support multiple protocols, notably NFS (Network File System) and CIFS (Common Internet File System). This dual-protocol support allowed organizations to seamlessly integrate the NAS into diverse IT ecosystems, facilitating interoperability between UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems. The enhanced file-sharing capabilities made it an ideal solution for businesses with mixed operating environments.

The Sun 5310 NAS incorporates cutting-edge technologies to ensure high availability and data integrity. The system utilized a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology, providing various RAID levels to protect against data loss while optimizing performance. Additionally, the device featured hot-swappable drives, enabling maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime, a crucial factor for business continuity.

Equipped with advanced management software, the Sun 5310 NAS offered users an intuitive interface for monitoring storage health and performance. This software included comprehensive reporting functionalities that allowed IT administrators to oversee usage patterns and capacity planning efficiently.

Scalability was another defining characteristic of the Sun 5310 NAS. The system could easily expand with additional storage modules, accommodating the growing needs of an organization without the necessity for complete system overhauls. This flexibility ensured that businesses could adapt their storage solutions to meet evolving data storage needs without incurring significant costs or disruptions.

In terms of performance, the Sun 5310 NAS featured high I/O throughput achieved through its robust hardware architecture and optimized file serving capabilities. This performance baseline was crucial for organizations that relied on heavy data workloads and required rapid access to information.

In summary, the Sun 5310 NAS from Sun Microsystems embodied a forward-thinking approach to network storage, blending reliability, scalability, and multi-protocol support. Its user-friendly management software, combined with the robustness of RAID technology and hot-swappable drives, made it a preferred choice for enterprises looking to streamline their storage infrastructure while safeguarding critical data.
