more expanders. The VPort ID allows a drive to be consistently identified,
used in a RAID unit, and managed.
For additional information about 3ware controller concepts and terminology,
see the user guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller or the user
guide portions of the 3ware HTML Bookshelf.
Installing the 3ware CLI
Installing the 3ware CLI on Windows
3ware CLI can be installed or run directly from the 3ware software CD, or the
latest version can be downloaded from the 3ware web site,
http://www.3ware.com. Online manual pages are also available in nroff and
html formats. These are located in
/packages/cli/tw_cli.8.html or
tw_cli.8.nroff.
To install 3ware CLI on Windows
Do one of the following:
• Start the 3ware CD and at the 3ware menu, click
Install Software.
Step through the pages of the installation wizard and make sure that
Command Line Interface (tw_cli) is selected.
• Copy the file
tw_cli.exe to the directory from which you want to run the
program.
CLI is located on the 3ware CD in the directory
\packages\cli\windows
Warning!
If you have a 7000/8000 controller and are using 3DM, as opposed to 3DM2, AMCC
does not recommend installing both 3DM and CLI on the same system. Conflicts
may occur. For example, if both are installed, alarms will be captured only by 3DM.
You should use either CLI or 3DM to manage your 3ware RAID controllers.
This is not an issue for 3DM2, which works with the 9000-series controllers. It can
be installed with CLI.
Note: CLI comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you are copying the file
directly, be sure to copy the correct version for the version of the operating system
you are using.
