Hi people,

this might not be the right place to ask this question but I need help...

I bought a 3ware 9750-8i 3 days ago to it use with my pve server (v. 1.9). I installed the controller without a problem. BUT for the life of me I am not able to get the WebGui up and running, CLI is working so..
I followed the guide in the wiki hardware section and installed the software w/o a problem. But what ever I do, I can not acces the web frontend.:(
So I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. 3dm2.conf is default (port 888, RemoteAccess= 1). There is no Firewall in between.
The client I use for accessing the GUI is a Windows 7 x64 on the same network ip range. Proxmox Server is plain vanilla install from CD with current updates.
Now I was wondering if it's related to proxmox networking vmbr0? (probably not, but I am out of ideas...)

pveversion
Code: 
pve-manager: 1.9-26 (pve-manager/1.9/6567)
running kernel: 2.6.32-6-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.9-55+ovzfix-1
pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-55+ovzfix-1
qemu-server: 1.1-32
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-19
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.29-3pve1
vzdump: 1.2-16
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.15.0-2
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-6

interfaces
Code: 
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.178.22
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.178.1
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

lsof- i
Code: 
3dm2      3242     root   11u  IPv4  14796       TCP *:888 (LISTEN)
3dm2      3249     root   11u  IPv4  14796       TCP *:888 (LISTEN)
3dm2      3250     root   11u  IPv4  14796       TCP *:888 (LISTEN)


Anyone with a working 3ware WebGUI who can help me on this?
Any help would be apriciated...


Kind regards
 
Ok. After doing alot of research and testing I figured it out.
Since 3ware is not such an rare controller and because this forum is also about helping others with using proxmox I will share my findings:
The problem is truely not an proxmox issue nor a debian issue. It is in fact a browser issue.
You can not use the following browsers with 3dm2: Chrome, Firefox 10, IE 9. You need IE8 or an older Firefox version to see the 3dm2 WebGUI.
Also see here:

So the installation procedure is correct (wiki) BUT maybe this important information regarding browser version need to be added to the 3ware section!!
Hope I could save some people some time ...

Kind regards and have a nice day

thanks, you save my day
I got 3x 3dm remote access disappear yesterday, can not believe it is a browser issue.
It just shows that my 3ware are getting old, so sad I love them.
 
your welcome.

by the way - it works with Chrome and the IE Tab add-on too. So you can use a more uptodate browser.
I did not try it with Firefox 10.

Kind regards
B.
