Chapter 3. 3DM 2 (3ware Disk Manager) Introduction

Viewing Information About Different Controllers

If you have more than one 3ware RAID controller in the system, you select the one 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 8. 3DM Controller Selection Drop-down

Note: Throughout these instructions, the term current controller is used to refer to the controller which is currently selected in this drop-down list.

Refreshing the Screen

You can refresh the data on the screen at any time by clicking Refresh Page in the menu bar. This causes 3DM to update the information shown with current information from the controller and associated drives.

Automatic refreshes can also be set. For details, see “Setting the Frequency of Page Refreshes” on page 27.

Note: If you click Refresh on the browser window instead of on the 3DM menu bar, you will be taken back to the Summary page.

3DM Screens and What They're Used For

Table 5 shows a list of the pages you work with in 3DM and describes what they are used for. Details about each page and the fields and features on it are provided in Chapter 8, “3DM 2 Reference”. The page names in Table 5 provide links to details about that page.

In addition, the step-by-step instructions provided in the chapters on configuring and maintaining your RAID controller and units explain how to do particular tasks in 3DM.
