Software Installation
This appendix provides detailed instructions for installing the 3ware
management software for your 3ware RAID controller and the 3ware HTML
Bookshelf.
You can install all software at once, or you can use the installer to install some
or all of the following specific components:
•
3DM 2
•
CLI (Command Line Interface)
•
tw_update (Linux and FreeBSD only), for updating the firmware
•
3ware HTML Bookshelf
If you install the disk management tool 3DM 2, you will be asked to specify
some settings, such as email notifications and security settings. All of these
settings can be modified later from the 3DM 2 software. You do not have to
complete them at this time.
There are two versions of the installer: one for use in a graphical user interlace
(Windows, Linux, or FreeBSD), and a console version, for use at a Linux or
FreeBSD command line.
Installing Software from a Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
The steps below describe how to install the 3ware RAID management
software from a windowing graphical user interface such as Microsoft
Windows or X Windows.

With your computer on, insert the 3ware CD that came with your 3ware
RAID controller.
