Dm Disk Management Utility - 3Ware 7000-2 - Escalade RAID Controller User Manual

3DM Disk Management Utility

3DM Disk Management
Utility
The 3DM disk management utility, allows you to view status and
version information about your Escalade ATA RAID Controller.
3DM alerts you when a disk array needs maintenance and you can
maintain your disk arrays from 3DM. You can add or remove
drives, specify an available drive as a hot spare or launch the
rebuild process. Array status can be viewed or arrays can be main-
tained remotely via a standard web browser provided you have
access to the network containing the Escalade ATA RAID Control-
ler.
Event notification occurs from 3DM when the ATA RAID control-
ler requires attention, such as when a disk array becomes degraded
and is no longer fault tolerant. Event notification will only occur
while 3DM is running, so we recommend that 3DM be left running
as a background utility on the ATA RAID controller's machine.
Event notification's e-mail feature can send an e-mail to a specified
recipient when there is a problem with the array. The e-mail that the
recipient receives will include most of the information that is pro-
vided in the Logs on the Alarms page.
