3DM Disk Management Utility Checking Array Status Array status can be viewed using a web browser. Event notification occurs when the ATA RAID controller requires attention, such as when a disk array becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant. Event notification will only occur while 3DM is running. Therefore, 3ware recommends that 3DM be left running as background utility on the ATA RAID controller's machine. Event notification's e-mail feature can send an e-mail to a specified recipient when there is a problem with the array. Note: The format and style of the 3DM browser windows illustrated in this chapter are examples only. The actual "look" of the windows will depend on the browser, 3DM version and operating system in use. View status using your standard browser Open the 3DM browser window (see Figure 36) by starting your standard web browser and entering the URL of the system where 3DM is running in the address bar of your browser. The default URL is http://localhost:1080/ or http://127.0.0.1:1080/. Note: For security reasons, Mozilla does not allow connections to certain ports including port-1080. To override this on a per-port basis, the Mozilla release notes recommend to add a comma-separated list of ports to default/all.js (in your Mozilla installation directory). For example, to unblock port 1080, use the following line: pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "1080") This file is located at: /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/all.js Disk arrays and independent disks are listed on the 3DM Home display. Disks that are members of an array are indented and listed below their parent array. The type and size of the disks or arrays are listed as well as status of each array, as shown in Figure 36. For arrays undergoing rebuilds, the rebuild status for each drive and port is displayed. 84 3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide

Checking Array Status
Array status can be viewed using a web browser. Event notification occurs
when the ATA RAID controller requires attention, such as when a disk array
becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant. Event notification will only
occur while 3DM is running. Therefore, 3ware recommends that 3DM be left
running as background utility on the ATA RAID controller’s machine. Event
notification’s e-mail feature can send an e-mail to a specified recipient when
there is a problem with the array.

The format and style of the 3DM browser windows illus-
trated in this chapter are examples only. The actual “look” of the
windows will depend on the browser, 3DM version and operating
system in use.
