3ware Disk Manager (3DM 2)
Note: 3DM 2 includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project
for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).
3ware Disk Manager 2 (3DM 2), allows you to view the status of and manage
3ware RAID controllers and associated drives. 3DM runs as a service under
Microsoft Windows, and as a daemon under Linux. When it is running, you
can use your browser to view status and perform administrative tasks locally
or remotely.
3DM 2 can display information about 3ware RAID 7000-, 8000- and 9000-
series RAID controllers. However, some version 2 features are only available
for 9000-series controllers.
Two levels of access are provided: user and administrator. Users have view-
only access—they can check the status of drives and units—while
Administrators can view and make changes, using 3DM to configure RAID
units and designate hot spares, and to perform maintenance tasks on RAID
units.
