The 3DM, disk management utility, allows you to view status and version information about your 3ware storage controller. 3DM alerts you when a disk array needs maintenance and from 3DM, you can maintain your disk arrays. 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 maintained remotely via a standard web browser provided you have access to the network containing the 3ware controller. In the Windows environment, array status can also be checked in the local popup notifier. Event notification occurs from 3DM when the controller 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 controller's machine. Event notifications email feature can send an email to a specified recipient when there is a problem with the array. WWW: http://www.3ware.com/support/index.shtml
