How do I configure Jumbo Frames support?

Currently this is not supported by the StorEdge software.

Can I set more than one default gateway?

No. The default gateway is the gateway used when a TCP/IP client needs to send data to a network to which it does not have a specific route. After checking the destination network against the routing table and finding no match, the data is sent to the default gateway. There is no provision for TCP/IP to choose between default gateways.

Some operating systems allow the administrator to configure a second default gateway to be used in the case of failure of the primary default gateway. StorEdge does not currently support this feature.

What will happen if I configure multiple network adapters on the same subnet?

In this case, all outbound traffic will be sent via one network interface. This unnecessarily limits network bandwidth. The reason that all the network traffic travels through a single interface is the fact that TCP/IP can only define a single route to each subnet, and this route can only use one network interface. The solution is to link the cards at a lower level via port aggregation.

2.26Quota Configuration

How do I configure user and group quotas? How do I view current user quotas and disk usage?

Quotas determine how much disk space is available to a user or group, and/or how many files a user or group can write to a particular volume. The quota allocation is enumerated according to file ownership. Changing file ownership of files will change the quota availability.

It is important to note that group quotas apply to an entire group, rather than to each member. For example, if the users group has a 2GB quota, members will be able to own a total of 2GB, regardless of how much space is allocated to any particular user.

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.
