    This guide assumes that you have already installed your 3ware RAID controller in your system and set up your 3ware Sidecar, if you have one. If you have not yet done so, see the installation guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller for instructions.

  • Page 8: Introduction To The 3Ware Command Line Interface

    A few commands apply only to models 9500S, and are labeled as such. Important! For all of the functions of the 3ware CLI to work properly, you must have the proper CLI, firmware, and driver versions installed. Check http://www.3ware.com/support for the latest versions and upgrade instructions.

  • Page 9: Supported Operating Systems

    9590SE-4ME, with a multilane serial port connector, one connector supports four ports. For additional information about 3ware controller concepts and terminology, see the user guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller or the user guide portions of the 3ware HTML Bookshelf. www.3ware.com...

    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.
  • Page 11 To install 3ware CLI on Windows Do one of the following: • Start the 3ware CD and at the 3ware menu, click Install Software Step through the pages of the installation wizard and make sure that Command Line Interface (tw_cli) is selected.

    -f config_unit.txt Outputting the CLI to a Text File You can have the output of the 3ware CLI, including errors, sent to a text file by adding 2>&1 to the end of the line. This could be useful, for example, if you want to email the output to AMCC Technical Support.

  • Page 16: Understanding Raid Levels And Concepts

    When working with a 3ware RAID controller, “unit” is the term used to refer to an array of disks that is configured and managed through the 3ware software.

  • Page 17: Available Raid Configurations

    RAID levels 0, 1, 10 and 5 are the most popular. AMCC's 3ware controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, JBOD and Single Disk. The information below provides a more in-depth explanation of the different RAID levels.
  • Page 18 Fault tolerance is a basic requirement for critical systems like web and database servers. 3ware uses a patented technology, TwinStor®, on RAID 1 arrays for improved performance during sequential read operations. With TwinStor technology, read performance is twice the speed of a single drive during sequential read operation.
  • Page 19 Figure 3. RAID 5 Configuration Example RAID 6 RAID 6 requires a 3ware 9650SE RAID controller. RAID 6 provides greater redundancy and fault tolerance than RAID 5. It is similar to RAID 5, but has two blocks of parity information (P+Q) distributed across all the drives of a unit, instead of the single block of RAID 5.
  • Page 20 Chapter 1. Introduction to the 3ware Command Line Interface Figure 4. RAID 6 Configuration Example RAID 10 RAID 10 is a combination of striped and mirrored arrays for fault tolerance and high performance. When drives are configured as a striped mirrored array, the disks are configured using both RAID 0 and RAID 1 techniques, thus the name RAID 10 (see Figure 5).
  • Page 21 For example, in a twelve-drive RAID 50 array, up to one drive in each RAID 5 set can fail and the array will continue to function. Please note that if two or more drives in a RAID 5 set fail, then all of the data will be lost. www.3ware.com...
  • Page 22 Figure 6. RAID 50 Configuration Example Single Disk A single drive can be configured as a unit through 3ware software. (3BM, 3DM 2, or CLI). Like disks in other RAID configurations, single disks contain 3ware Disk Control Block (DCB) information and are seen by the OS as available units.

  • Page 23: Determining What Raid Level To Use
