Help is available for each of these commands at the prompt by typing “help <command>”. Additionally, man pages are available for mkdir, rmdir, cp and rm. Access these by entering “man <command>”.

How do I enable or disable ftp, tftp, rlogin, rsh, telnet, ssh, smb or the Web Admin?

By default, all of these services are enabled, with the exception of tftp. Enabling or disabling of these services is done via the netserv command at the 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.Type netserv alone to retrieve a list of currently enabled services.

4.Type netserv enable <service name> to enable a particular service.

5.Type netserv disable <service name> to disable a particular service.

6.Type netserv status <service name> to check whether a particular service is running.

For additional information on this topic, please see the man page. This can be accessed by typing man netserv at the StorEdge CLI.

2.32Backup and Migration Issues

What steps do I need to take before migrating data to StorEdge?

The following steps are recommended before migrating data to StorEdge.

Migrate user database information: If you use NIS or NIS+, this is as simple as defining server information. If you manually maintain your passwd, hosts, and groups files, these files must be copied to the /etc directory on the StorEdge.

To determine the location of this file, access 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.

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.
