Configuring Your Controller
This section describes how to view details about the controller, check its
status, and change configuration settings that affect the controller and all of
the drives connected to it. It is organized into the following sections:
• Viewing Information About Individual Controllers
• Viewing and Seting Controller Policies
Note: Background task rate is also set for all units on a controller.
For information about setting the task rate, see “Setting
Background Task Rate” on page 183.
Viewing Information About Individual
Controllers
If you have more than one controller in your system, you can easily view
information about each one using 3DM, in the same session. If you are
working at the BIOS level, you access 3BM for each controller separately.
You can check the controller model, serial number, firmware and driver
versions, and the status of the controller.
The following steps tell you how to display information about the controller
you want to work with.
To see details about a particular controller in 3DM
1 Start 3DM and log in.
The 3DM Controller Summary page appears, listing all the 3ware
controllers installed in your system.
The right-most column of the list shows the status of each controller.
Tip: If you are managing controllers remotely, the list of controllers is for
the machine with the IP or URL you entered in the browser address bar.
