Setting the Listening Port #
You can set the port that 3DM2 uses to listen for incoming messages. If you
are not sure which port would be the best to use, leave this set to the default
port of 888.
To set the listening port
1 Click
3DM2 Settings on the menu bar.
2In the
Listening Port # section of the 3DM2 Settings page, enter the port
number in the
Listening Port field.
3 Click
Change Port.
The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that
the listening port has been changed.
Setting the Frequency of Page Refreshes
Because the status of the drives attached to your 3ware RAID controller can
change while you are viewing information about them in 3DM2, make sure
that you refresh the page information regularly. That way you know that the
information you see in 3DM2 is current.
You can manually refresh the information on a page by clicking
Refresh
Page
in the menu bar. But you also can set 3DM2 to refresh the information
on a regular basis.
To set the frequency of page refreshes
1 Click 3DM2 Settings on the menu bar.
2In the
Page Refresh section of the 3DM2 Settings page, select how often
you want the page to be refreshed in the
Minutes Between Refresh field.
Controlling Command Logging in 3DM2
Command logging provides the ability to log each command that makes a
change to the controller configuration in a log file (tw_mgmt.log). This can be
useful for trouble-shooting.
You can enable and disable command logging from the
3DM2 Settings page.
Note: If you do not want 3DM2 to refresh the screen automatically,
select
Never in the Minutes Between Refresh field. You can
then refresh manually by clicking Refresh on your web browser.
