12.Slide the replacement controller all the way into the empty slot and lock the levers into place. Figure 7-16 on page 7-31illustrates installing a controller.

13.Reinstall the SFP transceivers to their original connectors, and attach the host and drive interface cables to their respective SFP transceivers. Figure 7-15 on page 7-31illustrates installing an SFP transceiver and cable.

14.Wait approximately 60 seconds for the storage management software to recognize the new controller.

Caution – Potential data loss. If the battery age is set incorrectly, you may not be notified to change the battery at the correct time, and data loss could occur. If the battery age is mistakenly reset, contact technical support.

Note – IMPORTANT Reset the age of the new battery to zero when asked to do so during the Recovery Guru procedure. The software may display a message indicating that the battery in the new controller has failed or is nearing its expiration date. This message will disappear after you reset the battery age and the battery is fully charged.

15.Complete any remaining Recovery Guru procedures for the controller replacement.

16.Choose one of the following steps, based on the status of the Host Link, Drive Link, and Fault lights. Figure 7-20 on page 7-36shows the locations of these lights.

■All Link lights are off or the Fault light is illuminated - Verify that the controller has been installed correctly. Reinstall the controller, and then go to step17.

■All Link lights are on and the Fault light is off - Go to step 18.

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.
