a.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.

b.Select Recheck in the Recovery Guru to re-run the Recovery Guru and to ensure that the problem has been corrected.

c.If the problem persists, contact technical support.

12.Configure the new drives using the storage management software.

13.Create, print, and save a new storage array profile. End Of Procedure

3.3.3Replacing All Drives at the Same Time

Use the following procedure to replace all drives at the same time. Figure 3-20 on page 3-38shows the locations of the power switches. Figure 3-21 on page 3-38illustrates inserting and removing a drive.

Caution – Potential data loss. Using the wrong drive upgrade procedure can cause data loss. If you are upgrading drives containing RAID 0 volumes, you must use this procedure for replacing all drives at once. If you are upgrading drives containing RAID 1, 3, or 5 volumes, you may use either upgrade procedure.

Caution – Electrostatic discharge damage to sensitive components. To prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the module, use proper antistatic protection when handling the module components.

Caution – Potential damage to drive components. Drives can be damaged by bumping them into other objects or surfaces. When removing or installing a drive into the drive module, place your hand under the drive to support its weight. Place drives on an antistatic, cushioned surface.

1.Put on antistatic protection.

2.Unpack the new drives.

Set the new drives on a dry, level surface, away from magnetic fields. Save all packing materials in case you need to return the drives.

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.
