3.At the CLI, enter “load netm”. Then type “menu” to configure capture and capture packets.

4.Press the spacebar until “Packet Capture” is displayed under “Extensions” at the lower right.

5.Select the letter corresponding to “Packet Capture”.

6.Select option “1”, Edit Fields.

The available options are as follows:

■Capture File - Where to save the capture file. </volumename/directory/filename>

■Frame Size (B) - Size in bytes of each frame to capture. The default is normally used.

■IP Packet Filter - “No” captures all traffic, “Yes” allows you to filter what is received. A filter allows you to select which IP address or addresses you will capture traffic from. You can also filter on a particular TCP or UDP port.

■Dump Enable - Select “Yes” to allow StorEdge to save the capture in the event of a problem.

7.After configuring these options, select option “7”, “Start Capturing”

8.Reproduce the network event you wish to capture.

9.Select option “7”, “Stop Capture”.

10.Access the file via NFS or SMB and copy the file as needed.

How do I access command history at the CLI?

When typing commands at the CLI, it is sometimes desirable to access previously typed commands. StorEdge has several command history options available. Note that the CLI does not provide Unicode support. The features described here are intended for use with ASCII characters only.

1.To access the StorEdge CLI, connect to the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.

2.Type “admin” at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

The history list contains a maximum of 32 entries and will be saved to /cvol/log/history whenever the exit or quit commands are issued. The contents of /cvol/log/history will be read on boot. The shell built-in history command can be used to display a numbered list of previously executed commands. Previous commands can be executed by entering “!nn” at the CLI, where nn is the entry number. The history command is not displayed in the help list.

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.
