Managing the 3DM2 Daemon under FreeBSD, Linux,

Mac OS, OpenSolaris, and VMware

3DM2 should start automatically after installation and upon bootup. If it does
not, use the steps below to manage it.

To manage the 3DM2 daemon manually for FreeBSD

1

Login as root on the machine on which 3DM2 is installed.

2

Type:

/etc/rc.d/3dm2 start|stop|restart

To manage the 3DM2 daemon manually for Linux

1

Login as root on the machine on which 3DM2 is installed.

2

Type:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/tdm2 start|stop|restart

or (some Linux versions use this directory instead):

/etc/rc.d/tdm2 start|stop|restart

To manage the 3DM2 daemon manually for Mac OS

You can restart 3DM2 by restarting your Mac. However, you can also manage
the 3DM2 Daemon manually by using the steps below.

1

Check to see if the 3DM2 process is already running.

Open a Terminal window and type:

ps -ax | grep 3dm2 | grep -v grep

If 3DM2 is running, you will see it included on the output line that
displays.

2

Stop the 3DM2 process so you can restart the process

In a Terminal window and type:

sudo killall 3dm2

When prompted, enter your administrator password.
Wait for one minute or so before verifying that the process has been
terminated. (It can take a couple of minutes for the process to be stopped)

Verify that the process has been terminated by typing:

ps -ax | grep 3dm2 | grep -v grep

The output line should not include 3DM2

If the process is still running, contact LSI/3ware Technical Support for
assistance.
