Installing 3DM for Red Hat Linux or SuSE Linux
For SuSE Linux network RPC services are required to be running, otherwise 3DM will not start.
For SuSE Linux, almost all OS packages are required to be installed for 3DM e-mail notification to function.
To install 3DM:
Insert the 3ware software Installation CD-ROM for Linux into the CD-ROM drive.
Mount the CD-ROM drive:
mount /dev/cdrom
For older Red Hat systems, type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
For older SuSE systems, type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Change the directory and run the install script:
For Red Hat Linux:
cd /mnt/cdrom
./install.3dm
For SuSE Linux:
cd /media/cdrom
./install.3dm
You will be prompted with the a series of questions to complete the installation.
The first question asks if RPM was used to install the Escalade driver and/or 3DM. The default answer is no.
The second question asks for the location of the help documentation:
Please enter the location of the help documentation (default is /usr/local/doc)
The next question asks if you would like to receive an e-mail message when an event occurs. The default to this question is "yes". If you enable e-mail notification you will be asked to provide the name of the mail server, the user name for the person who will send the E-mail notification (typically the local host name) and the user name for the person who will receive the e-mail notification (typically the system administrator). To enter multiple e-mail addresses, each address must be separated by a comma:
Would you like to have e-mail notification enabled (Y/N)?
Please enter the name of your mail server: (default is local host name)
Please enter the name of the user you want sending e-mail notification: (default is root)
Please enter the name of the user you want receiving e-mail notification: (default is 3ware_admin)
The next question asks for the HTTP port that you would like 3DM to use. If you don not know what port to use, select the default:
Please enter the port number that you would like to use for web monitoring (default is 1080)
The next question asks if you want to limit 3DM connections to the local machine:
Would you like 3DM connection security to limit connections to local host only? (default is yes)
Change the directory and then eject the CD-ROM disk when finished:
cd /home
eject cdrom
3DM should start automatically after installation and upon bootup. If you need to start 3DM manually, follow these steps:
Login as root.
Afterwards, type:
For Red Hat Linux:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/3dm start
For SuSE Linux:
/etc/rc.d/3dm start
To uninstall 3DM for Linux, follow these steps:
Insert the 3ware software installation CD-ROM for Linux into the CD-ROM drive.
Mount the CD-ROM disk:
mount /dev/cdrom
For older Red Hat systems, type:
mount -f iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
For older SuSE systems, type:
mount -f iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Change the directory and run the uninstall script:
cd /mnt/cdrom or /cdrom
./install.3dm --u
Eject the CD-ROM disk when finished:
cd /home
eject cdrom
If 3DM Linux is reinstalled or restarted, close any open web browsers before starting 3DM again to close the server socket.
