I've a 3ware Escalade 8006-2 and run Centos 4.2 using the latest kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp. I see that the card comes with some disk management tools called 3DM2 Management Utility. Is this ok to install? Is it good for reporting failed drives?

Thanks

Jon

Jon,

Yeah, it runs a daemon that you can configure via web or via the config file and you can configure it to let you know when the array is degraded, etc.

Justin.



Hi -

The only thing I use it for really is to alert me as to when drives run amuck. It can also be somewhat useful for rebuilding a degraded array, however, I believe this should be done using the actual BIOS. Remember, this also means downtime, however.

Hope that helps!

Thanks
