Installing 3DM
3DM 2 can be installed from the 3ware CD that came with your 3ware RAID
controller. You can also download the current version from the website at
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads. Details about the installation
are described in Appendix B, “Software Installation” on page 310.
3DM must be installed on the system in which the controller is installed. 3DM
does not have to be installed on a remote system in order to remotely manage
the 3ware controller; you simply enter the correct URL into a browser on the
remote system. You will need to enable remote access first, however.
Starting 3DM 2 and Logging In
3DM runs as a service under Windows, and as a daemon under Linux.
Normally after installation, the 3DM 2 process starts automatically when you
start your system.
It is a good idea to leave the 3DM 2 process running on the system that
contains your 3ware RAID controller. That way email alerts can be sent by
3DM 2, and administrators can manage the controller remotely, if remote
administration is enabled.
When 3DM 2 is running in the background on your computer, you can access
the 3DM 2 web application through your browser to check status information
and manage your 3ware RAID controller.
If you want to check the status of a controller from a different computer, see
“Viewing 3DM 2 Remotely Using a Web Browser” on page 65.
