Installing 3ware gdm3 for a 9650SE-8LPML on Fedora

Fight with the 3ware web site, which is appalling, downloading the latest software, if you can work out which one to get.

This link works but does not go where you would expect it to http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads

From the link above I went to Support -> Support and downloads by product, 9650SE-8LPML, I then downloaded what seemed to be the latest from the section "complete code set". I have 10.2-complete-code-set.iso which is no longer listed :-/

To instyall the software which seems to be just a web interface with lotsf options that go to the same place. mount the cd

sudo mount -o loop /data/windows_drives/drivers_and_stuff/3ware_HW-Raid/10.2-Codeset-Complete.iso  /mnt
cd /mnt/packages/installers/tools/linux
sudo ./install.sh -i

Then read and follow the prompts

After the install check that the new service tdm2 is running. Which will run the 3gm software. Note the inconsistent naming!

sudo chkconfig tdm2 --list
sudo chkconfig tdm2 on

Start the service the first time with

sudo service tdm2 start

You can now see the web interface with https://localhost:888/

The first time you log in the password for both user and administrator will be 3ware This can be changed by going to 3dm2 settings and filling in the old and new passwords.

Here are a collection of Mini-HOWTOs some of which are too short even for that grand title. I keep them around as it is easier to remember where to look these up that to remember the content of the mini-HOWTO
