Starting 3DM and Logging In
3DM runs as a service under Windows, and as a daemon under Linux and
FreeBSD. Normally after installation, the 3DM process starts automatically
when you start your system.
It is a good idea to leave the 3DM process running on the system that contains
your 3ware RAID controller. That way email alerts can be sent by 3DM, and
administrators can manage the controller remotely, if remote administration is
enabled.
When 3DM is running in the background on your computer, you can access
the 3DM web application through your browser to check status information
and manage your 3ware RAID controller.
If you want to check the status of a controller from a different computer, see
“Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser” on page 76.
Note:
If 3DM Linux is reinstalled or restarted, close any open web browsers before
starting 3DM again to close the server socket.
