3DM Disk Management
Utility
The 3DM disk management utility, allows you to view status and version
information about your Escalade ATA RAID Controller. 3DM alerts you
when a disk array needs maintenance and you can maintain your disk arrays
from 3DM. You can add or remove drives, specify an available drive as a hot
spare or launch the rebuild process. Array status can be viewed or arrays can
be maintained remotely via a standard web browser provided you have access
to the network containing the Escalade ATA RAID Controller.
Event notification occurs from 3DM when the ATA RAID controller requires
attention, such as when a disk array becomes degraded and is no longer fault
tolerant. Event notification will only occur while 3DM is running, so we rec-
ommend that 3DM be left running as a background utility on the ATA RAID
controller’s machine. Event notification’s e-mail feature can send an e-mail to
a specified recipient when there is a problem with the array. The e-mail that
the recipient receives will include most of the information that is provided in
the Logs on the Alarms page.
Note:
3DM does not work under FreeBSD. If you are using
FreeBSD, use the 3ware CLI (command line interface) available
from the 3ware website at
