3DM 2 (3ware Disk Manager) Introduction Enabling and Disabling Remote Access When remote access is enabled, a user can connect to 3DM over the internet or an intranet, to check status or administer the controller and associated drives. (See "Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser" on page 75.) If remote access is disabled and a user attempts to connect to 3DM remotely, they will see the following error message: "Remote Access to 3DM has been disabled. Please connect using the local machine by entering "localhost" in the URL bar." Remote access can be enabled or disabled on the 3DM 2 Settings page. The VMware version of 3DM is installed with remote 3DM access enabled by default, since VMware has no GUI to let you run it locally. If you disable remote access, you will need to reinstall 3DM in order to be able to connect to it. To enable or disable remote access 1 Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar. 2 In the Remote Access section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, select either Enabled or Disabled in the Allow Remote Connections field. The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that remote access has been enabled or disabled. Setting the Listening Port # You can set the port which 3DM uses to listen for incoming messages. If you are not sure which port would be the best to use, leave this set to the default port of 888. To set the listening port 1 Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar. 2 In the Listening Port # section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, enter the port number in the Listening Port field. 3 Click Change Port. The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that the listening port has been changed. 84 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User Guide, Version 9.5.1
