Configuring the VMware Firewall to Allow Email

Notification

You can select an option in 3DM2 to allow email notification of alarms and
other events reported by the 3ware RAID controller.

However, in order to receive email notification when using VMware, you will
need to configure the VMware firewall to allow outgoing email, as all ports
are blocked by default.

To configure the VMware firewall to allow email notification

1

Login to the server as root.

2

Configure the firewall to allow outgoing email.

esxcfg-firewall -o 25,tcp,out,smtp

esxcfg-firewall -o 587,tcp,out,smtp

Enabling and Disabling Remote Access

When remote access is enabled, you can connect to 3DM2 over the internet or
an intranet, to check status or to administer the controller and associated
drives. (See “Viewing 3DM2 Remotely Using a Web Browser” on page 51.)

If remote access is disabled and you attempt to connect to 3DM2 remotely, the
following error message appears: “Remote Access to 3DM2 has been
disabled. Please connect using the local machine by entering “localhost” in
the URL bar.”

You can enabled or disabled remote access on the 3DM2 Settings page.

To enable or disable remote access

1

Click

3DM2 Settings

on the menu bar.

2

In the

Remote Access

section of the 3DM2 Settings page, select either

Enabled

or

Disabled

in the

Allow Remote Connections

field.

The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that
remote access has been enabled or disabled.

The VMware version of 3DM2 is installed with remote 3DM2 access enabled by
default, since VMware has no GUI to let you run it locally. If you disable remote
access, you will need to reinstall 3DM2 in order to be able to connect to it.
