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

3.Select option “H”, “DNS & SYSLOGD” in the configuration Section to set up remote logging

4.Select option “1”, “Edit fields”.

5.Use [Tab] or [Enter] to navigate through the fields.

6.Select option “Y”, “Yes”, to enable SYSLOGD.

7.Enter the IP address of the SYSLOGD server that will receive the StorEdge system log (if applicable).

8.Select the appropriate Facility. The facility indicates the application or system component generating the messages. All messages sent to the syslogd server will have this facility value.

The possible facility values in the Set up Remote Logging panel include:

■Kern – Messages generated by the kernel. These cannot be generated by any user processes.

■User – Messages generated by random user processes. This is the default facility identifier if none is specified.

■Mail – The mail system.

■Daemon – System or network daemons.

■Auth – Authorization systems, such as login.

■Syslog – Messages generated internally by syslogd.

■Lpr – The line printer spooling system.

■News – Reserved for the USENET network news system.

■Uucp – Reserved for the UUCP system, which does not currently use syslog.

■Local0 - Local7 – Reserved for local use.

9.Next are the settings for local logging, these are independent of the remote log settings.

■Local Log - Enable/disable local logging

■Local File - Filename for local logging, must include full path and filename

■Archives - These two settings define how much log data to save, archives is the number

■Size (KB) - of files to save, KB is the size of each.

10.Select option “7”, “Save Changes”

This functionality is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin.

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.
