a.To run the Recovery Guru, select the Recovery Guru toolbar button in the Array Management Window.

b.Complete the recovery procedure.

If the Recovery Guru directs you to replace a failed component, use the individual lights on the modules to locate the specific failed component. For troubleshooting procedures, refer to “Troubleshooting and Recovery” on page 3-22.

c.When the procedure is completed, select Recheck in the Recovery Guru to re- run the Recovery Guru and to ensure that the problem has been corrected.

d.If the problem persists, contact technical support.

11.Replace the cover on the command module, if applicable. End Of Procedure

3.1.2.6Responding to the Optional Audible Alarm

The command module may have an optional audible alarm. Modules with the optional alarm have a Mute button on the front bezel, below the Power and Global Fault lights. Figure 3-13 on page 3-20shows the locations of the indicator lights and the mute button.

FIGURE 3-13Alarm Mute Button

When one of the following conditions occurs, the alarm sounds and the Global Fault light illuminates:

■Hardware malfunction in a command module - Malfunctions include: overheating conditions, missing fans, or component failures (failed drives, environmental services monitors [ESMs] or controllers, power supplies, or fans).

■Transmission failures - Transmission failures include: I/O transmission problems with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers and the interface cables.

The alarm does not affect the operation of the indicator lights or the ability of the module to report errors to the host.

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.
