Product Overview
A network attached storage (NAS) device is an appliance that supplies disk storage
to users over a network. Moving storage from the user’s desktop to the network
maximizes data availability and security. The Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer (hereafter
referred to as “the filer”) is a NAS appliance that consists of a Sun Enterprise 420R
Server and from one to four partner groups of Sun StorEdge T3 Arrays. This equates
to one to four terabytes (Tbytes) of storage.
FIGURE 1 Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer with Maximum Storage Configuration
6Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer Installation, Configuration, and Service Guide • August 2001
The filer is an integration of proven Sun Microsystems hardware and software to
obtain easy access to a maximum of 4 Tbytes of storage. It provides a complete file
server solution that seamlessly integrates into your network. The filer scales both
vertically and horizontally—you can add more filers to your network, or add more
storage to your filer.
The filer contains features that are designed to minimize down time, including:
■Mirrored system disks in the Sun Enterprise 420R Server
■Hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-5 storage system
■Redundant power supplies in both the Sun Enterprise 420R Server and each of
the Sun StorEdge T3 Arrays
Access to the filer’s disk storage is through the following industry standard file
access protocols:
■NFS™ file system
■Common Internet File System (CIFS)
The filer also includes a web-based administration tool that provides an easy-to-use
graphical user interface (GUI).
FIGURE 2 illustrates how the filer can interact in a common network environment.

FIGURE 2 Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer System Example
Note – The N8400 filer system storage can be expanded in 1.0-Tbyte increments to a
maximum of 4 Tbytes. This is done by adding Sun StorEdge T3 Array partner
groups for a maximum of 8 individual arrays. Contact your local Sun sales
representative for more information.

Starting Up the System
Note – The order in which the machines are powered on is very important.
▼To Startup the First Time
1. Refer to Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer Hardware Setup.
2. Proceed to “Initial Filer Setup” on page 10.
▼To Startup After a Facility Power Failure
1. When the facility power returns, wait for every Sun StorEdge T3 Array to fully
boot.
Wait approximately eight minutes. If possible, verify that the flashing LEDs on the
back panel of the arrays go steady to indicate they are ready.
Note – The Sun Enterprise 420R Server will not be powered on when facility power
returns until the power button on the front of the unit is pushed.
2. Power on the Sun Enterprise 420R Server power button.
The boot process will take three to ten minutes, depending on the components
installed.
3. Connect a console to the Sun Enterprise 420R Server as shown in FIGURE 3.

4. Establish communications with the filer.
See Step 1 on page 10 through Step 2 on page 13.
5. Type reboot.

Initial Filer Setup
This section includes instructions for configuring the filer hardware. To set up the
filer hardware, see Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer Hardware Setup. The filer hardware
includes at least one partner group of Sun StorEdge T3 Arrays (hereafter referred to
as “arrays”), the Sun Enterprise 420R Server, and the Sun expansion cabinet. This
section contains the following topics:
■“To Set Up the Initial System Configuration” on page 10
■“To Configure for PC Network Connectivity” on page 15
■“To Verify the Installation” on page 16
▼To Set Up the Initial System Configuration
This section describes how to set up and configure the filer to communicate with the
network hosts. Before starting this procedure you must be connected to the filer with
a console as shown in FIGURE 3.
Note – Before you start this procedure, review Step 4 to obtain the required
information. See your network administrator.
1. Establish communications with the Sun Enterprise 420R Server from your console
by doing one of the following:
a. For Sun and other UNIX systems, type:
where x=aorb
Go to Step 2 on page 13.
b. For systems using Microsoft Windows™ 95, 98, or NT:
i. Choose: Start →Run.
The Run dialog box is displayed.
