Maintaining Your Controller
This section contains instructions for how to perform tasks that help you
maintain your controller, including:
Determining the Current Version of Your 3ware Driver
Updating the Driver and Firmware
Viewing Battery Information
Testing Battery Capacity
Determining the Current Version of Your
3ware Driver
You can view controller and driver information in several different ways:
Using 3DM 2 (see the “Controller Summary Page” on page 45)
Using 3BM (see “Displaying Advanced Details” on page 25)
Under Linux, you can also type the following command if you have a 2.4
kernel or earlier:
cat /proc/scsi/3w-9xxx/0*
where the asterisk (*) represents controller number and “9xxx” represents the
version of the controller. For example:
cat /proc/scsi/3w-9xxx/0
If you have a 2.6 kernels with sysfs, type the following command:
cat /sys/class/scsi_host/<hostid>/stats
where <hostid> is usually host0, unless other SCSI devices are available, in
which case it may be host1 or higher.
If you have a 2.6 kernel without sysfs, type the following command:
dmesg | grep 3w
