Installing 3ware RAID Controller Management
Software for VMware
3ware RAID controller management software includes 3DM2 and CLI. CLI
can run locally on the VMware server in a console window.
By default, VMware ESX Server 4.0 does not have a GUI and therefore you
cannot access 3DM2 locally. You must use another system that has a GUI and
a web browser to access 3DM2.
After initial installation and setup, administration will typically be done
remotely through CLI or 3DM2.
If you have not yet installed 3DM2 and CLI, use the steps below to do so.
1 Mount the 3ware software image CD.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2 Navigate to the appropriate directory where the 3DM2 and CLI rpm files
are located.
cd /mnt/cdrom/packages/installers/tools/vmware/esx40/
3 Run the install commands for CLI and 3DM2.
rpm -ivh <LSI-3ware-CommandLine-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
rpm -ivh <LSI-3ware-3dm2-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
4 Note the URL supplied by 3DM2 at the end of installation, (for example,
https://10.0.0.2:888), as it will be required in order to connect to 3DM2
through a web browser.
