Viewing Information About Different Controllers

If you have more than one 3ware RAID controller in the system, you select
the one that you want to see details about from the drop-down list at the right
of the menu bar.

This drop-down is available on all pages that provide controller-specific
features.

Figure 28. 3DM2 Controller Selection Drop-down

Refreshing the Screen

You can refresh the data on the screen at any time by clicking

Refresh Page

in the menu bar. Refreshing the data causes 3DM2 to update the information
shown with current information from the controller and associated drives.

Automatic refreshes also can be set. For details, see “Setting the Frequency of
Page Refreshes” on page 62.

Note:

Throughout these instructions, the term current controller is used to refer to

the controller that is currently selected in this drop-down list.

Note:

The fields and columns in 3DM2 vary for different models of 3ware RAID

controllers. If you have multiple controllers of different models, you might notice
some differences when switching between them in 3DM2. For example, when
showing information about the 9750 or 9690SA controllers, 3DM2 shows “VPort”
(for virtual port) on some pages while for earlier controllers the label is “port.”

Note:

If you click Refresh on the browser window instead of on the 3DM2 menu

bar, you are taken back to the Summary page.
