3DM 2 remote access requires synchronized time
When accessing a computer remotely with 3DM 2, the system time on the remote
computer cannot vary by more than 30 minutes (including time changes due to time
zones) from the system with the 3ware controller. You will be allowed to connect
remotely, but if you click on any screen you will get the message: "
You have been logged out due to inactivity or Cookies are disabled"
connect to a system, change the local time of remote system to match the time of
the system with the 3ware controller. See 3ware KB article 13322.

Linux/FreeBSD - 3DM2 Daemon Startup
If the 3DM 2 daemon was started when the 3ware driver was loaded, you will have
to stop and restart the daemon:
e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/3dm stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/3dm start
Fedora Core 3 / AMD 64-bit – can't update the mkinitrd file
When installing Fedora Core 3 (64-bit version) to a 3ware RAID array as primary storage,
by default FC3 uses LVM when creating the disk partitions. If you use LVM, then you will
not be able to update the 3ware driver at a later time. Updating the 3ware driver at a later
time with the mkinitrd command will cause the system to not be able to boot. See 3ware

system automatically sets "Ignore" for the requested scheduled.

the arrays with cache disabled.
