Modifying the system policy is also done at the CLI. Access the CLI as above, and enter “set acl.overwrite.allowed”. 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. This particular variable setting will not take effect until the next reboot of the StorEdge.

Trusted host does not have root access.

If a host on the trusted list cannot access StorEdge as root, there is likely a problem with the /etc/approve file.

To check for the presence of a host on the trusted list, proceed as follows:

1.Access the StorEdge via Telnet.

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

3.Select option “F”, Hosts. Check for the presence of the desired hosts.

4.Before checking the approve file, confirm that you have correctly diagnosed the problem by creating a file with the touch command.

5.After creating the file, use ls –ln <filename> to view the ownership. If the owner is UID 60001, then correct as follows.

6.To determine the location of the active approve file, access the StorEdge CLI (command line interface).

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

8.At the CLI, enter “show file.approve”. This will return the location of the active approve file.

9.Next, enter “cat”, followed by the output of the show command, e.g. “cat /sysvol/etc/approve”.

The first line that is not a comment line (comment lines begin with the “#” character) should read as follows:

files/@trustedaccess=rw uid0=0

If this line is missing, or if the uid0=0 is not present, correct as follows:

1.From the CLI type “load unixtools”

2.Next, type “cp <active approve file and path> <active approve file and path>.bak”. This backs up the current file with a .bak extension.

3.Next, type “cp /cvol/nf0/approve <active approve file and path>”. This overwrites the current approve file with a default copy.

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.
