Installing the 3ware CLI
Installing the 3ware CLI on Windows
3ware CLI can be installed or run directly from the 3ware software CD, or the
latest version can be downloaded from the 3ware web site,
http://www.3ware.com. 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.
To install 3ware CLI on Windows
• Copy the file
tw_cli.exe to the directory from which you want to run the
program.
CLI is located on the 3ware CD in the directory
\packages\cli\windows
Permissions Required to Run CLI
To run CLI, you can be logged onto Windows with one of the following sets
of permissions:
• Administrator
• User with administrator rights
• Domain administrator
• Domain user with Domain Admin or Administrator membership
Without the correct privileges, CLI will prompt and then exit when the
application is executed.
Warning!
If you are using 3DM, as opposed to 3DM2, AMCC does not recommend installing
both 3DM and CLI on the same system. Conflicts may occur. For example, if both
are installed, alarms will be captured only by 3DM. You should use either CLI or
3DM to manage your 3ware RAID controllers.
This is not an issue for 3DM2. It can be installed with CLI.
(3DM was an earlier version of the software, which worked with 7/8000 model
3ware controllers. 3DM 2 works with the 9000-series.)
Note: CLI comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Be sure to copy the correct
version for the version of the operating system you are using.
