Installing the 3ware CLI
Installing the 3ware CLI on Mac OS X
3ware CLI can be installed from the 3ware software CD, or the latest version
can be downloaded from the 3ware web site,
http://www.3ware.com/support/
download.asp.
To install 3ware CLI on Mac OS X
•
Run the installer and select CLI as the software to be installed.
Permissions Required to Run CLI
To run CLI, you must be logged onto the Power Mac G5 with one of the
following sets of permissions:
•
Administrator
•
Root
You can also use SUDO to run CLI.
To start CLI
•
In a Terminal window, type
sudo ./tw_cli
If prompted, enter your password.
Installing the 3ware CLI on Windows
3ware CLI can be installed or run directly from the 3ware software CD, or the
latest version can be downloaded from the 3ware web site,
http://www.3ware.com
. Online manual pages are also available in nroff and
html formats. These are located in
/packages/cli/tw_cli.8.html
or
tw_cli.8.nroff.
Warning!
If you are using 3DM, as opposed to 3DM2, AMCC does not recommend installing
both 3DM and CLI on the same system. Conflicts may occur. For example, if both
are installed, alarms will be captured only by 3DM. You should use either CLI or
3DM to manage your 3ware RAID controllers.
This is not an issue for 3DM2. It can be installed with CLI.
(3DM was an earlier version of the software, which worked with 7/8000 model
3ware controllers. 3DM 2 works with the 9000-series.)
