New major release of Sun Storage 7000 software is available

I noticed a new major release of the Sun Storage 7000 software is available at the website below.
http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates.

The format change is for BDB Java Edition 5.0 only, and does not apply to other BDB products. It's forward compatible, which means that a BDB JE application using JE 5.0 can use environments written with older versions of JE. However, it's not backwards compatible; once your environment has been opened by JE 5.0, it's been converted to the new format, and can no longer be readable by older versions of JE.
Just for the benefit of others who may not have read the changelog, here's the full text:
JE 5.0.34 has moved to on-disk file format 8.
The change is forward compatible in that JE files created with release 4.1 and earlier can be read when opened with JE 5.0.34. The change is not backward compatible in that files created with JE 5.0 cannot be read by earlier releases. Note that if an existing environment is opened read/write, a new log file is written by JE 5.0 and the environment can no longer be read by earlier releases.
There are two important notes about the file format change.
The file format change enabled significant improvements in the operation performance, memory and disk footprint, and concurrency of databases with duplicate keys. Environments which contain databases with duplicate keys must run an upgrade utility before opening an environment with this release. See the Performance section for more information.
An application which uses JE replication may not upgrade directly from JE 4.0 to JE 5.0. Instead, the upgrade must be done from JE 4.0 to JE 4.1 and then to JE 5.0. Applications already at JE 4.1 are not affected. Upgrade guidance can be found in the new chapter, "Upgrading a JE Replication Group", in the "Getting Started with BDB JE High Availability" guide.I may not have fully understood your question, so let us know if that doesn't answer it.

Don't upgrade to Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1!

The latest release of AmberRoad firmware (Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1) leads to a performance regression. It's recommended not update at this time. See the Fishworks Documentation for more information: http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates

The last two releases (2009.Q2.2.1 and 2009.Q2.2.0) of the AR firmware show poor iSCSI performance.
I therefor recommend to use release 2009.Q2.1.1.

New major release, JE 5.0, is available

Hi all,
We're pleased to announce a new major release, JE 5.0.34. The release contains a significant number of new features and performance enhancements. Complete information can be found in the JE documentation, specifically in the change log. The release is available via the download site or Maven.
Below is a copy of the major enhancements listed in the release notes. See the change log for a complete list.
<li> The new DiskOrderedCursor class can be used to iterate over all records in a database, for increased performance when transactional guarantees are not required. [#15260]
<li> A new Environment.preload method can be used to preload multiple databases at a time, for increased performance compared to preloading each database individually. [#18153]
<li> The JE environment can now be spread across multiple subdirectories to take advantage of multiple disks or file systems. [#19125]
<li> The new AppStateMonitor class lets the HA application add more application specific information to the notion of node state in a replication group. [#18046]
<li> New options have been added for changing the host of a JE replication node, and for moving a JE replication group. See the Utilities section of the change log.
<li> Replicated nodes can now be opened in UNKNOWN state, to support read only operations in a replicated system when a master is not available. [#19338]
<li> New Cursor methods were added to allow quickly skipping over a specified number of key/value pairs. [#19165]
<li> A per-Environment ClassLoader may now be configured and will be used by JE for loading all user-supplied classes. [#18368]
<li> The java.io.Closeable interface is now implemented by all JE classes and interfaces with a public void close() method. This allows using these objects with the Java 1.7 try-with-resources statement. [#20559]
<li> The Environment.flushLog method has been added. It can be used to make durable, by writing to the log, all preceding non-transactional write operations, without performing a checkpoint. [#19111]
<li> Performance of record update and deletion operations has been significantly improved when the record is not in the JE cache and the application does not need to read the record prior to performing the update or deletion. [#18633]
<li> An internal format change was made for databases with duplicate keys that improves operation performance, reduces memory and disk overhead, and increases concurrency. [#19165]
<li> An improvement has been made that requires significantly less writing per checkpoint, less writing during eviction, and less metadata overhead in the JE on-disk log files. [#19671]
<li> Improved DbCacheSize utility to take into account memory management enhancements and improve accuracy. Added support for key prefixing, databases configured for sorted duplicates, and replicated environments. [#20145]
<li> EnvironmentConfig.TREE_COMPACT_MAX_KEY_LENGTH was added for user configuration of the in-memory compaction of keys in the Btree. [#20120]

Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 series

We are evaluating VMWare Site Recovery Manager 4.0. Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 Sun Storage series?

I would say the short answer would be no. The 2540 is a LSI based device, the SRM adapter for that is written by LSI. The 7000
series array is based on OpenSolaris and ZFS, quite a different beast.

Well I have a new macbook pro and there is a software update available and after i update it, it keeps asking for the same thing to update over and over again! What can be done?

The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

SUN Storage 7000 stuck on GRUB Stage2

Hi all,
after a reboot due to a system stuck the storage stops at "GRUB Loading stage2..." any suggestion?
Many thanks.
d.

Yes the above answer is correct you will need to connect via a the serial port to see the CLI interface. If you connect a monitor
to the vga port, all you will see once the system is booted is the GRUB words.
Refer to the install guide here which contains more information on this.

Panini & Burrito: dot release or major release?

Are Panini & Burrito going to be a major dot release for the current Catalyst and Flash Builder, or are these going to be a new major release?
Or does anyone know?
edsager

Flash Catalyst 1.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 are the public names as of now. Release Dates are still not publicly known. Although they are going from .0 to .5, I would consider them both major updates (especially Catalyst)

Does anyone have SUN ZFS storage 7000 user guide or step instructions ?

Hello:
I download SUN ZFS storage 7000 simulator, but I do not know how to use it. Does any one have some ducuments ? or where I can find them?

Hi.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E22471_01/index.html
All array 7000 use same software. Different only hardware configuration and some hardware specific features:
Possible or not add: Readzilla, writezilla, configure cluster.

Sun Storage Common Array Manager software

trying to configure two storage arrays and cannot find the original disks
found the website with link to the Sun Storage Common Array Manager software
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/storage/san/fc/common-array-manager/resources/index.html
but it is a dead link...
now i need this software or the two storage arrays cannot be reconfigured
maintenance for them have lapse so my oracle support is not an option
any links to be able to obtain the software... doesn't matter even if older version... doesn't need to be latest

No Good, everytime i go to the download section for software relating to hardware i keep getting asked to
Add Support Identifiers …
just a log in account isn't good enough
so back to my original problem, even though we own the equipment outright, they are essentially a couple of expensive paperweights
it shouldn't be that hard to obtain even an older version of this necessary piece of software?
is it possible to obtain support identifiers for sun hardware with expired maintenance? maybe that will allow me to at least download the version of the software that was available at the time of expiration?

New to SUN Storage

We just acquire other company's equipment which includes some Sun Storage Boxes.
I need to gather lots of information like Customer No, Serial Number, Firmware Revision, etc. but doing this one by one It could take lots of time. Because I need to build a new support model for all those boxes.
Is there a tool to Manage all the equipments together and query information by CLI or something?
I appreciate your help,
The newbie

There are too many potential questions to answer this post
accurately. There are procedures documented for adding
and removing storage. However, the mention of SC2.2
implies a potential migration. These migrations can be quite
complex. You should consider professional service support.

What do you think of new Cisco NSS 300 Smart Storage?

Did you see the press release of the new Cisco NSS 30 Smart Storage?
http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2010/prod_060910.html
What did you think?
More informaion about the product can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/smartstorage

I guess no one from Cisco is going to repond to your post Johnny.
I agree with your thoughts, and was excitedly looking forward to Cisco's entry in the small NAS market and rushed out to buy a NSS326 (Equiv to QNAP TS-659) Unit. I already own a QNAP TS-639 older model for 1.5 years and loved it - and expected Cisco just to make this even a better unit. Which in some ways they have (Syslog and Radius features) - although as you've already noticed, elimation of QPKG application support which numbers up to almost 2 dozen applications that are not available on Cisco's version
Unfortunately if you look on eBay, you'll see my NSS326 up for sale.
To address your points (from my point of view)
1) ROCK SOLID: I've found the hardware to be just that (on both units). Built well, and I'm sure will last for years.   As for software stability, - see next
2) FAST FIRMWARE UPDATES: It's for this reason that the unit is up for sale.   V3.0 of the firmware was a major release. And there have been issues - although many/most of them have been addressed with still a few (somewhat serious) issues still lingering.   QNAP seems to be attacking these fairly quickly.   Unfortunately there has been 2 releases from QNAP addressing issues since Cisco's adoption of this unit since v3.2.6.   As you'll see in these posts, Cisco is not following QNAPs releases, and will be releasing their own line of firmware. For me, this is a serious issue - and I wish I knew this before purchasing. I feel Cisco is already 2 releases behind which includes many fixes to their current platform. (Also see QPKG note above - many missing applications)
3) SUPPORT: This is where Cisco excels and always has.   To start 5yr vs 1yr warranty, and of course Cisco TAC is one of the best in the world. In contrast, QNAP's support quite frankly isn't great - although, it's support community for forums are excellent.   Unfortunately I can't speak specifically on NSS support since I haven't called them for this, so I'm speaking more generally.
So it really boils down to whats more important for your situation.
Cheers

New patch releases: JE 5.0.48 and 4.1.20

All,
Please note that new patch releases for JE 5.0 and 4.1 are now available.
The JE 5.0.48 update contains a number of critical bug fixes that can cause corruption (data loss) under certain circumstances. We strongly recommend that anyone using JE 5 upgrade immediately to 5.0.48. This update also contains fixes for issues that prevent upgrading to JE 5 from an earlier release, or cause problems after upgrading.
Note that running the pre-upgrade utility is mandatory before upgrading to JE 5 from an earlier release, and the pre-upgrade utility must be run using JE 4.0.20. The JE 4.0.20 update contains fixes to the pre-upgrade utility as well as one critical bug fix. See the first section in the JE 5.0.48 change log for detailed information on upgrading and running the pre-upgrade utility.
We'd like to thank all the users who reported problems and especially those who worked with us over email, in some cases for long periods of time, to diagnose problems and test fixes. Some, but not all, of those who helped are mentioned in the change log. Thank you for contributing to the reliability of the product!
Complete information can be found in the JE documentation. The release is available via the download site or Maven.

Hi,
the biggest problem is that we are using bought application not made in our company. I have tried out this java application with JRE 1.4 and 1.5 and it just doesn't work. So the only solution is using JRE 1.3 on all intranet computers. This application uses digital certificate so why doesn't Sun allow digital signet java programs to run on older versions of JRE?
There could also be one more solution. I exactly know md5sum (or sha1sum) of 3 JAR files used by applet needing JRE 1.3. So if this sum would be enabled manualy (or I could send batch file to make this in registry or any other storage this would be good).

I just uninstalled/reinstalled sgd on a secondary solaris x86 server and tried to add it again to the array, but the primary complains that the secondary's software is newer and won't add it. My array is already configured and I don't want to lose these configs. Any suggestions on how to apply this new bugfix release without blowing away my array?

The update is currently temporarily available on via FOTA (and not via Nokia Suite). There was a small problem with automatic user data restore with Nokia Suite after the update, which is currently being investigating. If you already updated your device with Nokia Suite, you might have to trigger the userdata restore manually from "tools->restore".

s40_uni_me:
if you update the device with Nokia Suite or take it to a Care service point for reflashing, the Social app is removed and directly replaced with new standalone Facebook & Twitter clients.
Even if you update the device via FOTA (in which case Social app stays on the phone), I would still strongly recommend downloading the standalone Facebook & Twitter clients from Nokia Store as those provide a better user experience.
