3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version 10.2

To install 3ware CLI on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, or VMWare
do one of the following:

Copy the file.

CLI binary and executable files are located on the 3ware CD in the
following directory:

/packages/cli

Navigate to the appropriate folder under

/packages/cli

for your OS.

Coy the file

tw_cli

to an appropriate location on your system where you

can easily access the file. Make sure to copy the correct version for your
OS and OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

Online manual pages are also available in nroff and html formats. These
are located in

/packages/cli/tw_cli.8.html

or

tw_cli.8.nroff.

You must be root or have root privileges to install the CLI to

/usr/sbin

and to run the CLI.

Use the setup command from a command line.

For Linux

a

Navigate to one of the following directories on the 3ware CD

/packages/installers/tools/linux

b

Type

./install.sh -i

c

Respond to each screen as the script walks you through the
installation.

d

After the installation is complete, check that the software was
installed correctly.

For FreeBSD

a

Navigate to the directory on the mounted image or CD that contains
the installer:

/packages/installers/tools/freebsd

b

Type

./install.sh -i

Notes:

When copying the CLI, it is best to copy it to a location that is in the
environment path so you can run CLI without using the complete path
(i.e., /usr/sbin)

Otherwise you will have to type the complete path:
/home/user/tw_cli
