4.Ensure that the model field reads “NOMODEL”.

5.Enter 0 (zero) for the serial number field. (A blank serial number may NOT be used, and may cause this procedure to fail.)

6.Download the full version of the operating system to the local workstation. Contact Technical Support to obtain this file.

7.Click the browse button and navigate to the OS upgrade file on the workstation. Click on Install to copy the image to the server. The file transfer may take several minutes.

When the file download has finished, you should see the following message in the browser (your filename may vary):

Received NF402B154.IMG for installation.

You must now reboot to continue installation.

8.Reboot the server to complete the upgrade process.

If the system has at least one existing volume, StorEdge will automatically restore the basic configuration information after the reboot, such as IP address, DNS and NT domain information. StorEdge will reboot once again if the information is found and successfully imported.

If no volumes are configured, this setup information must be entered manually, according to the instructions in the Setup Poster.

Note – The system variables are backed up every four hours, at 4, 8 and 12am, and at 4, 8 and 12pm. Therefore, this procedure may not be able to recover configuration information for a newly installed system. In this case, you must also enter the information manually.

If the configuration information in the /dvol/etc was backed up to tape or the RAID volume, restore it to the same location. To restore from tape, simply restore the entire contents of the directory using the backup software. To restore from the RAID volume, use the console copy as follows:

1.Telnet to the StorEdge and access the CLI (Please see the FAQ or software manual for instructions on accessing the CLI.)

2.Type load unixtools

3.Type cp –r –v <backup path> /dvol/etc, replacing <backup path> with the full path, including volume name, to the directory containing the backed up files.

4.Check the output of the cp command to ensure that all files were successfully copied.

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.
