Verify Java client version. Version 1.3.1.1 or newer of the Java client is required. If no Java Client is installed on the client connecting to the StorEdge, you will normally be prompted for installation. If not, the client can be found at http://www.java.com. If you receive error messages related to the Java Client (or JRE), uninstall and reinstall the client.

If problems continue, one of the most helpful troubleshooting steps is to try another workstation or two. These problems are often client-specific, and this step often leads to the resolution.

StorEdge Web Admin missing ICONS or GUI does not respond

The GUI interface requires at least version 1.3.1.1 of the Java plug-in to be installed on the administrator client machine and should automatically download the plug-in when needed.

We have seen that sporadic GUI behavior, missing icons or repeated messages requiring a re-certification is often an indicator of a damaged Java plug-in.

1.From Internet Explorer select “Tools” then “Internet options”.

2.Select “Settings” then “View objects”.

3.Look for Java runtime version.

4.In the status area, verify that it is not damaged.

5.If it says Damaged or if it has uninstalled even after the install has completed then remove the Java client from workstation and reinstall.

Web GUI login failure.

First, try clearing your browser cache. For Internet Explorer, this can be found under Tools/Internet options.

Next, try resetting the password via Telnet. Proceed as follows:

1.Access the StorEdge via Telnet.

2.When the menu prompt appears enter “menu” press the enter key.

3.Enter the administrator password for the StorEdge. Press the enter key.

4.Select “K”, “Admin access”.

5.Enter password information. (It can stay the same no need to change password.)

6.Enter “7”, “Save changes”.

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.
