2.34Miscellaneous Log Messages

Why can’t I see system log information prior to most recent reboot?

By default, the system log is stored only in memory. Therefore, it is lost upon reboot. StorEdge offers the option to save syslog data locally, or to send it to a syslogd server.

For additional information on this topic, please refer to the FAQ “How do I set up local or remote logging?”

System log message: “nfsd: error 'prog unavail' x.x.x.x (100227) nfs_acl”

This message is generated when an NFS client tries to write a POSIX style ACL. This is not supported by StorEdge at this time.

System log message: “ARP information overwritten”

This message is generated when StorEdge recognizes a new Ethernet (MAC) address associated with an IP address. As each NIC has only one Ethernet address, this is either an indication that the client is using port aggregation, or that there is a duplicate IP address on the network.

System log message: “statmon error: no statmon, remote x.x.x.x”

This message indicates that there was no reply from client x.x.x.x to an NFS status check. Usually due to a client reboot or lost connection.

System log message: “dac_get_dev_info: GetSCSIDevice failed FFFFFFF0”

This message indicates a SCSI device error. It is usually an indication of heavy system load, but not necessarily an indication of a problem.

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.
