8.If no applicable messages are found, repeat the attempt to join the domain, and check the log again.

The system log is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin.

To access it, log in, and navigate to: Notification and Monitoring/View System Log. You can scroll through the log, or save it as a file.

To check the NetBIOS cache, proceed as follows:

1.Access the StorEdge via Telnet.

2.Press enter at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

3.Press the spacebar until “Diagnostics” is displayed under “Extensions” at the lower right.

4.Select the letter corresponding to “Diagnostics”.

5.Wait a few seconds while the StorEdge builds the diagnostic.

6.When the diagnostic is ready, you can page through it here, with [space] and [b], or you can email it or save it to a file.

7.In either case, search through the file for the heading “NETBIOS Cache”. Note each of the NetBIOS tags.

Each NetBIOS tag is displayed in the form: Hostname<##>, or Domain<##>, with one or more IP addresses associated with it. <##> is a number expressing a particular NetBIOS service being advertised.

The tags you should be concerned with are as follows:

■Hostname<00>: Local workstation service for hostname.

■Hostname<20>: Local server service for hostname.

■Domain<00>: Indicates inclusion in the domain or workgroup for the included IP address.

Note – Does not necessarily indicate domain membership.

■Domain<1D>: Segment master browser(s) for the listed domain. This server provides browsing services for this domain only on this IP subnet.

■Domain<1C>: Domain Controller for listed domain. Either a Primary (PDC) or Backup (BDC).

■Domain<1B>: Primary Domain Controller for listed domain. By definition, the browse master for its own subnet, and the collector of all data from other browse servers.

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.
