Setting Up 3DM Preferences
The 3DM Settings page allows for defining preference settings that affect the overall
operation of 3DM. Most of these settings are factory-set during installation of 3DM.
Setting and Changing 3DM Passwords
3DM provides different access levels for users and administrators. The Administrator
access level allows the user to fully configure 3DM. The User access level allows the user
to view pages within 3DM. These passwords work independently of each other.
The default password for both the User and Administrator is blank (i.e., the field is empty).
Passwords are case sensitive.
Passwords can only be changed if logged in as Administrator. If the Administrator pass-
word is changed, you will be automatically logged out, and must log back in with the new
password.
To set or change the password:
1. Click 3DM Settings on the 3DM menu bar.
2. On the 3DM Settings page, in the Password section, select the type of password you
want to change: User or Administrator.
3. Type the current password in the Current Password field. If you are changing the
password for the first time, the factory-set default password is blank; leave the
Current Password field empty.
4. Enter the new password in the New Password field and again in the Confirm New
Password field.
5. Click the
Change Password button to enact the change.
Managing E-mail Event Notification
3DM can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention, such as when a
disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.
Event notification can only occur while 3DM is running, so it is recommended that 3DM be
left running on the system that contains the 3ware RAID controller.
When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients. You can spec-
ify the type of events for which notifications will be sent by selecting the severity:
• Information will send e-mails for all alarms
• Warning will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Warning and Error only.
• Error will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Error only.
Event notification is initially set up during 3DM installation, but can be changed on the
3DM Settings page.
To set up event notification:
1. Click
3DM Settings on the menu bar.
