6 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 9000series 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 viewonly 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 overview, information is organized into the following topics: „ "Browser Requirements for 3DM" on page 66 „ "Installing 3DM" on page 67 „ "Starting 3DM and Logging In" on page 73 „ "Working with the 3DM Screens" on page 75 „ "Setting Up 3DM Preferences" on page 79 „ "3DM 2 Reference" on page 83, which contains information about the fields and settings on each page in 3DM.
