Setting the Frequency of Page Refreshes
Since the status of the drives attached to your 3ware RAID controller can
change while you are viewing information about them in 3DM, it is important
to refresh the page information regularly. That way you can be assured that
the information you see in 3DM is current.
You can manually refresh the information on a page by clicking
Refresh
Page
in the menu bar. But you can also have 3DM refresh the information on
a regular basis.
To set the frequency of page refreshes
1
Click
3DM 2 Settings
on the menu bar.
2
In the
Page Refresh
section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, select how often
you want the page to be refreshed in the
Minutes Between Refresh
field.
Note:
If you do not want 3DM to refresh the screen automatically,
select
Never
in the
Minutes Between Refresh
field. You can
then refresh manually by clicking Refresh on your web browser.
