I configured the array with the BIOS utilities, and when = installing 5.3 from the CD, it recognizes the array on the twe driver = and everything seems to be working. I have downloaded the CLI util and the 3dm2 web interface from 3ware.com = and have been trouble getting them to work. So far, it appears that the = CLI seems to be working, although it has been reporting some strange = errors, not on the array itself, but on the commands I have been = testing. As for the 3dm2 web interface, I can't seem to get anything = working there. My question is mainly on the driver though. Which should I use? The = twe driver seems to be working as far as I have tested, but do I need = the driver downloaded from 3ware to get 3dm2 and the CLI to work? If = so, what is the best way to install the driver as I am using this array = as the boot disk? Also, can anybody give me some hints and tips on using the 3ware card = from experience? Thanks, Justin
