Did you get the webserver management software to run? I couldn't, it |
| 22 |
always crashed. But the console client works. Some scripting and polling |
| 23 |
every 30 minutes and it sends emails on alerts and failures. But the |
| 24 |
3ware webserver would be more convenient, at least a bit I think. |
