How do I delete files from the StorEdge administration utilities?

The operating system has some CLI commands available to perform advanced system administration. Caution must be exercised, as these commands can change data paths and structures. Under certain circumstances, a mistyped command can result in downtime or data loss.

These tools must be loaded from the Command Line Interface (CLI).

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.

3.From the CLI, enter “load unixtools”.

4.To delete files from the CLI using del

The del command deletes one or more specified files. It does not delete directories or files with the immutable bit set. The command requires the file's full path and filename. If no arguments are entered, the usage description is displayed. The del command does not interpret any wildcard characters.

Specified files will be deleted regardless of the file’s security or the permission. You will not be prompted for confirmation even if the file(s) is read only.

The del command also accepts filenames containing possibly illegal characters, such as the double quote (") character, to be deleted. To remove a filename containing such characters, prepend the character in question with the backslash "\" character. All commands are entered from the command line.

Examples:

■Delete a file with an illegal character: SE5310> del /path/file\"test

■Delete multiple files: SE5310> del /path/file1 /path/file2 /path/file3

To delete files from the CLI using rm

If the recursive flag is specified, the file hierarchy rooted at DIRECTORY is removed. The rm command removes symbolic links, not the files referenced by the links.

Examples:

Remove the file 'file1' from the directory '/vol1/dir1'.

SE5310 > rm /vol1/dir1/file1

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.
