3ware® Disk Manager (3DM® 2)

---

Note: 3DM 2 includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).

3ware Disk Manager 2 (3DM 2) allows you to manage and view the status of 3ware RAID controllers and associated drives. 3DM runs as a service under Microsoft Windows, and as a daemon under Linux. When it is running, you can use your browser to view status and perform administrative tasks locally or remotely.

3DM can display information about 3ware RAID 7000-, 8000- and 9000-series RAID controllers. However, some version 2 features are only available for 9000-series controllers.

Two levels of access are provided: user and administrator. Users have view-only access, and can check the status of drives and units. Administrators can view and make changes, using 3DM to configure RAID units and designate hot spares, and to perform maintenance tasks on RAID units.

In this section about 3DM, information is organized into the following topics:

Browser Requirements for 3DM
Starting 3DM and Logging In
Working with the 3DM Screens
Setting Up 3DM Preferences
3DM 2 Reference, which contains information about the fields and settings on each page in 3DM.

For instructions about doing particular tasks in 3DM, see the topics listed later in the table of contents of this help system.

For additional information about managing and maintaining 3ware controllers, see 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide. The user guide is, available on your 3ware software CD, or from the website at http://www.3ware.com/support/userdocs.asp.
