Logging In to the 3DM2 Web Application

Users can check the status of the controller, units, and attached drives.

Administrators can check status, configure, and maintain the units and drives on the 3ware controller.


	Note: Administrator and User status in 3DM2 is not related to Administrator/User settings in the operating system.

1	Open your browser and enter the URL for your system.

The default URL is https://localhost:888/

(Fedora Core 10 made changes that affected 3DM2.
https://localhost:888 can no longer be used in a web browser to access 3DM2. Other Linux distributions may also be affected.)

If remote access is enabled, you also can replace “localhost” with the IP address of the computer that contains the 3ware controller. For example:
https://<IP address>:888/.


	Note: If you receive a Page Not Found message, make sure that you entered the URL correctly by specifying https, not http. If you did, 3DM2 might not be running in the background. You can start it manually. See, Managing the 3DM2 Daemon under FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS, OpenSolaris, and VMware or Starting the 3DM2 Process under Microsoft Windows.

2	The first time you start 3DM2, your browser might prompt you for a security certificate. If it does, accept the certificate.

For example, when using Windows Internet Explorer, you might see the message shown below. In this example, click View Certificate and accept the certificate so that you do not see the security message each time you start 3DM2.
