Starting 3DM and Logging In

5If the process is still running, contact AMCC/3ware Technical Support for assistance.

To start the 3DM process manually

1 Open a Terminal window and type:

sudo /usr/sbin/3dm2

2Enter your administrator password, when prompted for it. The 3DM process starts.

3Open your browser and enter the URL for your system. The default URL is https://localhost:888/

You can also replace “localhost” with the IP address of the computer that contains the 3ware controller. For example: https://<IP address>:888/

Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser

When remote administration is enabled on the 3DM 2 Settings page, you can use 3DM to check status and administer your 3ware RAID controller from a browser on any computer, over an internet connection.

You do not need to install the 3DM software on the remote computer.

To connect to 3DM2 through your web browser

In the address line of your browser, enter the URL or IP of the system containing the 3ware RAID controller.

If you do not know the URL or IP for the system, you can contact your network administrator. Or open a Terminal window and type ifconfig.

Note: When using 3DM to access a remote system, the time on the local system must match the time on the file server. If the time varies by more than 30 minutes, it will not be possible to remotely monitor the system (you will not be able to log in). If you are in a different time zone, you must first change the time of the local system to match the time of the remote system.
