Browser Requirements for 3DM2
3DM2 runs in most current web browsers. Tested and supported browsers
(latest version available at time of software release) include:
• Internet Explorer
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
Additional requirements:
• JavaScript must be enabled.
• Cookies must be enabled.
• For best viewing, use a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 or greater, and set
colors to 16 bit color or greater.
Installing 3DM2
You can install 3DM2 from the 3ware CD that came with your 3ware RAID
controller. You also can download the current version from the website at
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads . Details about the installation
are described in Appendix B, “Driver and Software Installation” on page 301.
You must install 3DM2 on the system in which the controller is installed. You
do not have to install 3DM2 on a remote system in order to remotely manage
the 3ware controller; you simply enter the correct URL into a browser on the
remote system. You need to enable remote access first, however.
Starting 3DM2 and Logging In
Normally after installation, the 3DM2 process starts automatically when you
start your system.
As a best practice, keep the 3DM2 process running on the system that
contains your 3ware RAID controller. That way 3DM2 can send email alerts,
and administrators can manage the controller remotely, if remote
administration is enabled.
When 3DM2 is running in the background on your computer, you can access
the 3DM2 web application through your browser to check status information
and manage your 3ware RAID controller.
Note: If the 3DM2 process does not start automatically, you can start it manually, as
described under “Managing the 3DM2 Daemon under FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS,
OpenSolaris, and VMware” on page 49, or “Starting the 3DM2 Process under
Microsoft Windows” on page 50. You will know if the process is not running,
because when you try to use the 3DM2 web application, you will get a page not
found error.
