We evaluated a 7310 with 4 aggregated gE interfaces and were immediately impressed with the performance.
The company now has a 7410 that was recently configured.
One thing I noticed in the evaluation was that unlike the NetApp 6070 it may replace, there is no host-based security. At least, nothing I've found in the documentation/admin guide or in the BUI itself alludes to that ability. The shares have to be read-write for obvious reasons.
There is nothing preventing a user with root privileges on some Linux box to mount the share, create a local user with the same UID/GID as the systems that write the data and wreak havoc.
Short of separating the 7410 to another VLAN, has anyone found a way to secure by host?
I asked a Sun engineer during the configuration and he admitted there was no way to do this in the 7410 itself. Hopefully, someone has run across this?
