Non-Critical Condition

■Power subsystem failure. The Baseboard1 Management Controller (BMC) asserts this failure whenever it detects a power control fault (for example, the BMC detects that the system power is remaining on even though the BMC has deasserted the signal to turn off power to the system).

■The system is unable to power up due to incorrectly installed processor(s), or processor incompatibility.

■A satellite controller such as the HSC, or another IMPI-capable device, such as an add-in server management PCI card, sends a critical or non-recoverable state, via the Set Fault Indication command to the BMC.

■Critical Event Logging errors, including System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and Fatal/Uncorrectable Bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR.

A non-critical condition is indicated with a blinking amber status LED and signifies that at least one of the following conditions is present:

■Temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing.

■Chassis intrusion.

■Satellite controller sends a non-critical state, via the Set Fault Indication command, to the BMC.

■A Set Fault Indication command from the system BIOS. The BIOS may use the Set Fault Indication command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration changes.

Degraded Condition

A degraded condition is indicated with a blinking green status LED and signifies that at least one of the following conditions is present:

■Non-redundant power supply operation. This only applies when the BMC is configured for a redundant power subsystem. The power unit configuration is configured via OEM SDR records.

■A processor is disabled by FRB or BIOS.

■BIOS has disabled or mapped out some of the system memory.

This Troubleshooting Guide gives information on how to isolate the server component responsible for any of the critical, non-critical, or degraded conditions listed above.

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.
