3ware


Installing 3DM for Red Hat Linux 6.1 or 6.2,
SuSE 6.3 or 6.4

  Note: SuSE Linux 6.3 or 6.4 Users

You must install the package, SuSE Almost Everything, to start Web-based 3DM capability.

If you install SuSE Linux 6.3 or 6.4 with YaST1, you must modify the /etc/rc.config file. To do so, set the option,
START_PORTMAP="yes".
The default is no. If you do not set this option as yes, 3DM will not start.

 
 
  1. Insert the 3ware Software Installation diskette for Linux into the floppy drive.
  2. Mount the floppy drive:
    mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
  3. Change the directory and run the install script.
    cd /mnt
    ./install.3dm
  4. You will be prompted with the a series of questions to complete the installation. The first question asks if you would like to receive an email message when an event occurs. The default to this question is “yes”. If you enable email notification, you will then be asked to provide the name of the mail server, the user name for the person who will send the Email notification (typically the local host name), and the user name for the person who will receive the email notification (typically the system administrator).

    Would you like to have email notification enabled (Y/N)?
    Please enter the name of your mail server: (default is local host name)
    Please enter the name of the user you want sending email notification:
    (default is root)
    Please enter the name of the user you want receiving email notification:
    (default is 3ware_admin)

  5. The second question asks if you want the popup window for event notification to beep.

    Would you like to have audio notification enabled when the local application starts? (default is yes)

  6. The third question asks for the HTTP port that you would like 3DM to use. If you do not know what port to use, select the default.

    Please enter the port number you would like to use for web monitoring
    (default is 1080)

  7. Change the directory and then unmount the floppy drive.
    cd /
    umount /mnt
