Setting Up 3DM Preferences

Setting and Changing 3DM Passwords

3DM provides different access levels for users and administrators.

The Administrator access level allows the user to fully configure 3DM. The User access level allows the user to view pages within 3DM. These passwords work independently of each other.

The default password for both the User and Administrator is “3ware”. Passwords are case sensitive.

You can only change passwords if you are logged in as Administrator. If you change the Administrator password, you will be automatically logged out, and must log back in with the new password.

To set or change the password

1Click 3DM 2 Settings on the 3DM menu bar.

2On the 3DM 2 Settings page, in the Password section, select the type of password you want to change: User or Administrator.

3Type the current password in the Current Password field.

If you are changing the password for the first time, the factory-set default password is 3ware.

4Enter the new password in the New Password field and again in the

Confirm New Password field.

5Click the Change Password button to enact the change.

Note: If you forget your password, you can uninstall 3DM and then reinstall it. This will reset the password to the default password,

3ware.

Managing E-mail Event Notification

3DM can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention, such as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.

Event notification can only occur while 3DM is running, so it is recommended that the 3DM process be left running in the background on the system that contains the 3ware RAID controller.

When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients. You can specify the type of events for which notifications will be sent by selecting the severity:
