Installing the 3ware CLI on Linux

3ware CLI can be installed or run directly from the 3ware software CD, or the
latest version can be downloaded from the LSI web site,

http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads

.

To install 3ware CLI on Linux

Do one of the following:

Copy the file.

Copy the file tw_cli to the directory from which you want

to run the program.

CLI is located on the 3ware CD in the following directory:

/packages/cli/linux

Online manual pages are also available in nroff and html formats. These
are located in

/packages/cli/tw_cli.8.html

or

tw_cli.8.nroff.

You will need to be root or have root privileges to install the CLI to

/usr/sbin

and to run the CLI.

Use the setup command from a command line

Navigate to one of the following directories on the 3ware CD

/packages/installers/tools/linux/x86

/packages/installers/tools/linux/x86_64

Type (depending upon which directory you are in)

./setupLinux_x86.bin

-console

or

./setupLinux_x64.bin -console

Press Enter to begin installation.

Notes:

The installation location needs to be in the environment path for root to
execute the CLI without using complete paths (i.e., if installed to /usr/sbin/, you
can type tw_cli on the command line, otherwise you will have to type the
complete path:
/home/user/tw_cli

The 3ware CLI comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you are copying the
file directly, be sure to copy the correct version for the version of the operating
system you are using.
