3ware management software installation

[filloweb]

Hi all.

I try to install 3dm software for freenas but I can't use it after reboot.

Code:

[root@nas03] /mnt/RAID5/freebsd/freebsd# mount -uw /
[root@nas03] /mnt/RAID5/freebsd/freebsd# ./install.sh --install
...
3DM2 supports two modes of operation.
-------------------------------------
0 - 3DM2 with WEB interface
1 - 3DM2 Error/Event Logger only
 
Which version of 3DM would you like configured? (0|1)

After reboot I can't log into web interface: https://nas03:888

Could you help me?

Thanks a lot.

Is your controller not covered by the built-in twe driver?

 

[filloweb]

Hi.

I can use tw_cli without any problem but I want to use the web interface if possible.

 

[dlavigne]

In that case, your best bet would be to create a feature request at bugs.freenas.org so that it can be included in the base. Post the issue number here.

I tried to add the 3ware GUI. In short, it doesn't work without some work. What you are doing is a bad idea on top of it because:

1. There's very little free space on the USB stick's partitions, so installing more software is just a bad idea(how many times do we have to tell people this is not even remotely a good idea?)
2. The GUI shouldn't be necessary for hardware that is appropriate for ZFS. (You should be setting up the controller as jbod and then never logging into it again. Just yesterday I had to recover someone's pool because they went into their Adaptec interface and changed some settings).
3. If I remember correctly it caused major problems for the FreeNAS WebGUI.

In short, I'm not seeing what you are trying to gain from this adventure except to have extra knobs and bells to look at, and nothing in there isn't available from the smartctl and monitored by FreeNAS if properly setup. So going into those settings is completely unnecessary, dangerous, and redundant.
