3ware 9750-8i WebGUI and Proxmox 1.9

[BitRausch]

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...)

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


Kind regards

Hello

The 3ware WebGUI is not part of proxmox, nor part of the official Debian Distro.
Please visit the following website and download the packages you need : http://jonas.genannt.name/

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
