ftpd

2.Next, this file must be copied to the StorEdge /dvol/etc directory. Access this directory via NFS or SMB and copy the file.

On future system reboots, the inetload service will read and act on the file automatically at boot time.

How do I enable server-to-server FTP copying on the StorEdge?

The FXP protocol for FTP allows for server-to-server file transfers. The environment variables “ftp.fxp.<user/admin/guest>” must be set to yes to enable FXP for the appropriate user class.

This functionality is only available at the StorEdge CLI (command line interface).

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.To enable FXP for admin users, at the CLI, enter “set ftp.fxp.admin yes”.

4.To enable FXP for standard users, at the CLI, enter “set ftp.fxp.user yes”.

5.To enable FXP for anonymous users, at the CLI, enter “set ftp.fxp.guest yes”.

Note – All variable names and values are case sensitive. After setting any variables on the StorEdge, i.e. anytime the “set” command is used, the command "savevars" must be entered at the command line in order for the settings to persist though future server reboots.

How do I configure and secure rsh access?

Rsh (remote shell) is typically used to run StorEdge CLI commands remotely, often as part of a script operation. Some possible applications are checking disk space, creating checkpoints, or graphing CPU utilization.

Rsh is enabled by default on StorEdge servers. Also by default, rsh commands can only be run after responding to a prompt for a password. This assumes that you have an administrator password set on the StorEdge. If there is no password defined, access to rsh is unrestricted, as would be the case with all of the administrative interfaces.

In order to allow rsh access without a password, StorEdge system variables are used.

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.
