2.At the CLI, enter “set srvsvc.netshare.enable yes”. After setting any variables on the StorEdge, i.e. anytime the “set” command is used, the command "savevars" must be entered at the command line in order for the settings to persist though future server reboots.

CIFS/SMB disconnects from MS SQL Server.

CIFS/SMB disconnects from MS Access.

Though we do not provide support for either of these environments, we have discovered a setting to improve operations. This setting is potentially useful for any client/server type CIFS/SMB application accesses the StorEdge on behalf of many clients. The setting prevents StorEdge from caching client information to improve handling of consecutive requests from multiple clients coming from a single system (the server).

1.To access this setting, access the StorEdge via Telnet.

2.Press enter at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

3.Press the spacebar until “CIFS/SMB Configuration” is displayed under “Extensions” at the lower right.

4.Select the letter corresponding to “CIFS/SMB Configuration”.

5.Select A, “Domain Configuration.”

6.Press the [Enter] or [Tab] key to move through the fields to the “Keep Alive” field.

7.Enter the value “0” to turn off SMB keep alive.

8.Press [Enter] or [Tab] to navigate to the end of the form.

9.Select option “7”, Save Changes.

How can I check/modify which Domain Controller StorEdge is using for authentication?

This functionality is only available at the StorEdge CLI (command line interface).

1.To access the StorEdge CLI, connect to the StorEdge via Telnet, and type “admin” at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

2.At the CLI, enter “cat /proc/cifs/pdc”. The response will be in the form: Domain:

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.
