To manually install CLI under FreeBSD 5.x
1 Mount the 3ware CD-ROM
mount /cdrom
2 Copy the CLI utility to the destination directory. The path will be one of
the following, depending on your processor type:
cp -R /cdrom/packages/cli/freebsd/x86/tw_cli /usr/local/bin
cp -R /cdrom/packages/cli/freebsd/x86_64/tw_cli /usr/local/bin
To manually install 3DM under FreeBSD 5.x
For instructions for manually installing 3DM, see the knowledgebase article
http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=15283
VMware ESX Server 3.5 does not have a GUI in its default configuration and
therefore you cannot access 3DM 2 locally. You must use another system that
has a GUI and a web browser to access 3DM 2.
CLI can run locally on the VMware server in a console window.
After initial installation and setup, RAID administration will typically be done
remotely through CLI or 3DM 2.
To install CLI and 3DM 2
1 Mount the 3ware VMware driver CD.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2 Navigate to the RPM directory.
cd /mnt/cdrom/VMupdates/RPMS/
3 Run the install commands for CLI and 3DM 2.
rpm -ivh <AMCC-CommandLine-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
rpm -ivh <AMCC-3dm2-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
4 Note the URL supplied by 3DM 2 at the end of installation, (for example,
https://10.0.0.2:888), as it will be required in order to connect to 3DM 2
through a web browser.
