Viewing Information About Different Controllers
If you have more than one 3ware RAID controller in the system, you select
the one you want to see details about from the drop-down list at the right of
the menu bar.
This drop-down is available on all pages that provide controller-specific
features.

Refreshing the Screen
You can refresh the data on the screen at any time by clicking Refresh Page
in the menu bar. This causes 3DM to update the information shown with
current information from the controller and associated drives.
Automatic refreshes can also be set. For details, see “Setting the Frequency of
Page Refreshes” on page 79.
3DM Screens and What They're Used For
The table below shows a list of the pages you work with in 3DM and
describes what they are used for. Details about each page and the fields and
features on it are provided in Chapter 11, “3DM 2 Reference”. The page
names in the table provide links to details about that page.
In addition, the step-by-step instructions provided in the chapters on
configuring and maintaining your RAID controller and units explain how to
do particular tasks in 3DM.
Note: Throughout these instructions, the term current controller is used to refer to
the controller which is currently selected in this drop-down list.
Note: If you click Refresh on the browser window instead of on the 3DM menu bar,
you will be taken back to the Summary page.
