3DM2 (3ware Disk Manager 2) Introduction

| Note: 3DM2 includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).

3ware Disk Manager 2 (3DM2) allows you to manage and view the status of your 3ware RAID controllers and associated drives.
3DM2 is a service under Windows, or a daemon under FreeBSD, Linux, OpenSolaris, Mac OS, and VMware, that runs in the background on the computer where you have installed your 3ware controller. When 3DM2 is running as a service or daemon, you can use your browser to access 3DM2 application pages, where you can view status information about the controller and RAID units, create RAID units, and perform other administrative and maintenance tasks locally or remotely.
Two levels of access to 3DM2 are provided: user and administrator. Users have view-only access, and can check the status of drives and units. Administrators can view and make changes, using 3DM2 to configure RAID units and designate hot spares, and to perform maintenance tasks on RAID units.
In this section, information is organized into the following topics:

| Browser Requirements for 3DM2

| Starting 3DM2 and Logging In

| Working with the 3DM2 Screens

| Setting Up 3DM2 Preferences

For details about the settings and fields on each of the 3DM2 screens, see 3DM2 Reference.
For instructions about doing particular tasks in 3DM2, see the topics listed later in the table of contents of this online help system.
