No Access to 3ware 3dm2 configuration page

[crazy-to-bike]

I just installed the 3com configuration software http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Raid_controller#3dm2_Management_tool

But when I try to open https://ip:888 I geht a message that the server is not available. (Firefox 12.0 under Ubuntu 12.04)

When I open a ssh tunnel, I geht a blank site.

What's wrong?

Hi,

I am also waiting until lsi fixes their problem. See:
http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16625.aspx

And read down to

Addendum(02/03/2012): The latest update to FireFox, version 10.0, also patches for the SSL/TLS protocol. This results in the inability to access 3DM2. If you chose not to uninstall the the KB 2585542, then you will need to use a version of Firefox previous to version 10.

Binary files to patch 3DM2 are under evaluation, and an updated version of 3DM2 will be released soon.

Hope it helps,

I booted Win 7 and used IE and it worked fine. But when I pushed the button to test the mail notification, the error of disconnection occured again and I'm not able to get any connection to the configuration frontend anymore.

So I am wondering if i would ever have the possibility to configure my raid controller again.

You should still be abled to use the 3dm2 CLI locally, not as nice but it works.
It's a known and awkward issue I ran into too.

But locally I have no graphic Interface installed, so I also don't have a Browser to run. The CLI command line tool is still working, but I can't configure mail notification etc. there.

We run some Debian based mail filters (CanIT) and have experienced the same issues on both our servers with 3Ware 9560-2LP cards.

hwraid.le-vert.net has a good wiki about using various RAID controllers under Debian/Ubuntu and these people have DEB-packaged various of the proprio management tools like tw-cli (LSI 3Ware) or megacli (LSI MegaRAID) which are often only available as RPMs or have to be installed painfully by hands.

I do use their 'megaraidsas-status' which is a wrapper around megacli. It regularly checks the state of our LSI-based PERC controller.
In case of an error it sends a mail to root by default. megaraidsas-status seems to be very similar to what 3ware-status can do.

You can either change the mail by a parameter in the init-script (which is the actual wrapper) or editing /etc/aliases and send root mail to a remote
mailbox and then execute 'newaliases'. See: http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/3Ware#a3.2.3ware-status

For me this little wrapper has spared me the pain of installing the LSI MSM which is a huge piece of software for simply monitoring a RAID status.

firefox and chrome do do work here.

Konqueror does work.

3dm2 still has an important issue here. we can access the configuration page with konqueror . However the email notification test crashes 3dm2 . 3dm2 may not send an email regarding a failed disk etc..

for now to get notified of issues we do this 4x per hour from cron.d.

#!/bin/sh
# not all systems have lspci .  vz's and some kvm.  all our proxmox hosts have lspci.  
[ ! -f /usr/bin/lspci ] && exit 0

# check if card installed  otherwise exit no err
lspci | grep 3ware > /dev/null || exit 0

GREPSTRING="Error|error|ERROR|WARNING|warning|FAILED"

tw_cli show events  | egrep $GREPSTRING

Is anyone else having issues getting 3ware error / warning mails? [ I know this is not a pve issue ... ]

Hi,
sorry to revive an old thread but this might help: there is a know bug with 3dm2 and smtp settings: you can not use a smtp hostname. Use instead the smtp IP address and voilà !
