3DM Disk Management Utility The 3DM disk management utility, allows you to view status and version information about your Escalade ATA RAID Controller. 3DM alerts you when a disk array needs maintenance and you can maintain your disk arrays from 3DM. You can add or remove drives, specify an available drive as a hot spare or launch the rebuild process. Array status can be viewed or arrays can be maintained remotely via a standard web browser provided you have access to the network containing the Escalade ATA RAID Controller. Event notification occurs from 3DM 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, so we recommend that 3DM be left running as a 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 e-mail that the recipient receives will include most of the information that is provided in the Logs on the Alarms page. Note: 3DM does not work under FreeBSD. If you are using FreeBSD, use the 3ware CLI (command line interface) available from the 3ware website at http://www.3ware.com/support/download.asp.
