3ware Tools for Configuration and Management 3BM (3ware BIOS Manager) 3BM is a BIOS level tool for creating, deleting, and maintaining disk arrays, rebuilding arrays, designating hot spares, and setting controller policies. 3BM is the tool most frequently used to configure units immediately after installation of the controller, but can also be used after installation to maintain the controller and associated drives. For general information about working with 3BM, see Chapter 5, "3ware BIOS Manager 2 (3BM 2),". 3DM 2 (3ware Disk Manager) 3DM is a daemon (under Linux) and a service (under Windows) which runs in the background on the controller's host system, and can be accessed through a web browser to provide ongoing monitoring and administration of the controller and associated drives. 3DM supports hot spare and hot swap for redundant units. 3DM can be used locally (on the system that contains the 9000) or remotely (on a system connected via a network to the system containing the 9000). For details about working with 3DM, see "3ware Disk Manager (3DM 2)" on page 65. 3DM 2 is the current version of the 3ware Disk Manager. Throughout this documentation, it is referred to interchangeably as 3DM and 3DM 2. 3ware CLI (Command Line Interface) The 3ware CLI provides the functionality available in 3DM through a Command Line Interface. You can view unit status and version information and perform maintenance functions such as adding or removing drives, and reconfiguring RAID units online. You also use it to remotely administer controllers in a system by first logging into the system. The 3ware CLI is described in 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller CLI Guide. www.3ware.com 11
