Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser
When remote administration is enabled on the 3DM 2 Settings page, you can
use 3DM to check status and administer your 3ware RAID controller from a
browser on any computer, over an internet connection.
You do not need to install the 3DM software on the remote computer.
To connect to 3DM2 through your web browser
•
In the address line of your browser, enter the URL or IP of the system
containing the 3ware RAID controller.
If you do not know the URL or IP for the system, you can contact your
network administrator or from a Windows command prompt, type
ipconfig
. From a Linux command prompt, type
ifconfig
.
Note:
When using 3DM to access a remote system, the time on the
local system must match the time on the file server. If the time varies
by more than 30 minutes, it will not be possible to remotely monitor
the system (you will not be able to log in). If you are in a different time
zone, you must first change the time of the local system to match the
time of the remote system.
