Network Configuration
How to Configure Server Properties
Setting the Server Name
To set the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server name as it will appear on the network:
1. In the Web Administrator navigation panel, select Network Configuration > Set
Server Name.
FIGURE 3-1 The Set Server Name Panel
11
2. Set the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server name by entering it in the Server Name
box. The server name can include alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), “-” (dash), “_”
(underscore), and “.” (period) characters.
Note – The server name must begin with a letter (a-z or A-Z), not a number or a
symbol. For example “Astro2” and “Saturn_05” are acceptable server names.
However “5Saturn” and “_Astro2” are not.
3. Enter the contact information for your company.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
How to Configure Network Adapters
Look at the rear panel on the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to identify the NIC port
locations. You must know which NIC port you are configuring. For more
information, see the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Hardware Installation, Configuration, and
User Guide included on the documentation CD.
Note – Contact your network administrator if you need help with any of the
network adapter settings.
12 Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
To configure network adapters:
1. In the navigation panel, select Network Configuration > Configure TCP/IP >
Configure Network Adapters.
FIGURE 3-2 The Configure Network Adapters Panel
2. If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses and you want to
enable it, select the Enable DHCP checkbox. The default setting is “Enabled.”
Enabling DHCP lets the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server get an IP address from the
DHCP server.
Uncheck this checkbox if you want to manually enter a static IP address, subnet
mask, or gateway address. If you do not enable DHCP, the netmask is still disabled
if the port is a member of an aggregate port.
3. Select the port you want to configure from the Adapter list.
4. Enter the IP address for the selected NIC port.
5. Enter the Netmask for the selected NIC port.
The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS automatically fills in the read-only Broadcast field
when you enter the IP address and netmask. The broadcast address is the IP address
used to send broadcast messages to the subnet.
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for all ports in the adapter list.
7. Click Apply to save your changes.
Chapter 3 Network Configuration 13
About Alias IP Addresses
On a Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS system, you can add up to nine alias IP addresses to
the primary IP address of each NIC port. Therefore, a single network interface card
with one port could provide up to 10 usable IP addresses.
To add an alias IP address to the selected NIC, enter it in the IP-Aliases field. Then
click the button to add it to the IP-Aliases list. If you need to remove an alias
from the list, select it and click the button. These changes are saved when you
click Apply.
How to Set the Default Gateway Address
The default gateway address is the IP address of the gateway or router on the local
subnet that is used by default to connect to other subnets.
To specify the default gateway address for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server:
1. In the navigation panel, select Network Configuration > Configure TCP/IP > Set
Gateway Address.
FIGURE 3-3 The Set Gateway Address Panel
2. Enter the gateway address in the Gateway text box.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
14 Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
How to Set Up DNS
DNS (Domain Name Server) resolves domain names to IP addresses for your Sun
StorEdge 5210 NAS system.
Note – If you are using Dynamic DNS, you do not need to manually update the
DNS database. If you are not using Dynamic DNS, be sure you add the Sun StorEdge
5210 NAS server host name and IP address to the DNS database before you enter the
values in this menu. Refer to your DNS documentation for more information.
To set up DNS:
1. In the navigation panel, select Network Configuration > Configure TCP/IP > Set
Up DNS.
FIGURE 3-4 The Set Up DNS Panel
2. Select the Enable DNS checkbox to enable DNS. After you enable DNS, you must
fill in each DNS field in this screen.
3. Enter the DNS server domain name in the Domain Name box.
4. Enter the IP address of a DNS Server you want to make available to the network,
then click the button to add the server to the Server List.
Repeat this step for each DNS server you want to add. You can add up to two DNS
servers to this list.
Chapter 3 Network Configuration 15
5. The DNS server at the top of the Server List is asked first for domain name
resolution. To rearrange the order of the DNS servers in the list, click on the
server you want to move and click the or buttons. To remove a server
from the list, select the server IP address and click .
6. Select the Enable Dynamic DNS checkbox if you want to add the Sun StorEdge
5210 NAS into the DNS namespace automatically. You must also configure the
Kerberos realm and KDC server in the Windows Configuration > Set Up ADS
panel. When you enable Dynamic DNS with this checkbox, non-secure dynamic
updates automatically occur if they are allowed by the DNS server.
7. If you want to enable secure Dynamic DNS updates, complete the following
information. You do not have to do this for non-secure updates.
a. In the DynDNS User Name field, enter the user name of a Windows 2000 user
who can verify the dynamic DNS updates. This user’s workstation must reside
within the ADS domain and Kerberos realm specified in the ADS tab screen.
If you enter the domain administrator name here and the ADS update fails, you
must change the domain administrator password (on the domain controller). This
is only required for the administrator user, and you can reuse the same password.
For more information, refer to the Microsoft Support Services Web site, Article
Q248808.
b. In the DynDNS Password field, enter the password of the DynDNS user. If you
are changing this field, delete the entire password before entering a new one.
8. Click Apply to save your changes.

CHAPTER

File Volume Operations
File System Concepts
The following commonly used terms are briefly described in the following list.
RAID
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID systems allow data
to be distributed to multiple drives through an array controller for greater data
security and recoverability. The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS offers a RAID 5 array. For
more information on RAID and RAID types, see your RAID controller
documentation.
LUN
LUN stands for Logical Unit Number. A LUN is a logical device, meaning it is
defined in software and does not necessarily conform to a physical device. In the
context of network attached storage (the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS) the LUN defines a
block of storage space, which must be organized and subdivided to be used
effectively.
17
Partition
Partitions are sections on a LUN. Each LUN can have a maximum of four partitions.
Each partition can either have space allocated to it or be empty. When a LUN is first
created, all of the available space is located in the first partition, while the other
three partitions are empty. Each partition can “contain” only one file volume.
File Volume
File volumes are organized amounts of available storage space and are created from
partitions. The file volume is the space where the user stores information. If the
volume does not use up all of the available space in a partition, the remaining space
is automatically allocated to the next partition. After four volumes are created on a
LUN, any remaining space is inaccessible.
Segment
A segment is a portion of a partition that can be attached to an existing file volume
to increase its size. Segments can be “attached” to an existing file volume at any
time. If a file volume is nearly full, attaching a segment gives the users more space to
store data in. See “How to Attach Segments” on page 20 for more information.
How to Create File Volumes and Segments
Every new file volume is limited to 255GB in size. If you want a larger file volume,
create one primary volume and up to 63 segments per LUN. Then attach the
segment(s) to the primary volume to increase its size. For more information about
attaching segments, refer to “How to Attach Segments” on page 20.
