Starting 3DM2 and Logging In

As a best practice, keep the 3DM2 process running on the system that contains your 3ware RAID controller. That way 3DM2 can send email alerts, and administrators can manage the controller remotely, if remote administration is enabled.

When 3DM2 is running in the background on your computer, you can access the 3DM2 web application through your browser to check status information and manage your 3ware RAID controller.


	Note: If the 3DM2 process does not start automatically, you can start it manually, as described under Managing the 3DM2 Daemon under FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS, OpenSolaris, and VMware, or Starting the 3DM2 Process under Microsoft Windows. You will know if the process is not running, because when you try to use the 3DM2 web application, you will get a page not found error.
