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.
