Array status can be viewed using a web browser. Event notification occurs when the ATA RAID controller requires attention, such as when a disk array becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant. Event notification will only occur while 3DM is running. Therefore, 3ware recommends that 3DM be left running as a background utility on the ATA RAID controller's machine. Event notification's e-mail feature can send an e-mail to a specified recipient when there is a problem with the array.
The format and style of the 3DM browser windows illustrated in this chapter are examples only. The actual "look" of the windows will depend on the browser, 3DM version and operating system in use.
