3.Type the administrator password to access the administration interface.

4.Navigate to System Operations/Assign Language. Select the desired language, and click the “Apply” button.

GID for new NFS objects is incorrect.

StorEdge doesn’t recognize the set GID bit.

The StorEdge software supports three ways of setting the group ID of new files and directories. The default is to inherit GID from the parent directory in all cases. This behavior is configurable only at the Command Line Interface (CLI).

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 “fsctl gidmode <type>”. <Type> is one of the following:

■bsdInherit the group id from the parent directory

■sysvApply the creating user's primary group id

■sgidSet the group id according to the set GID bit (02000) in the parent directory mode.

For sgid, when the set GID (S_ISGID) bit is set, both the group ID and the set GID bit will be inherited from the parent directory. Otherwise, the creating user's group ID is applied.

Chown by root fails if it would put target user over hard quota.

This behavior is by design. StorEdge does not allow users to exceed their hard quota. The solution is to modify the quota either temporarily or permanent.

NFS User can’t access his own files created with CIFS/SMB account.

This is an indication that there is a problem with user or group mapping. From an NFS mount, use ls –ln to determine the current ownership of the file. If the owner’s UID or GID is not what is expected, proceed according to the instructions in the Troubleshooting Guide: “Windows users are not mapped to the expected NFS group.” or “User maps are incorrect.”

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.
