    Hi
    Use the following file for installation
    #wget wget http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9690SA-Series/9.5.1.1/3DM2_CLI-Linux-x86_64-9.5.1.1.tgz
    After extracting use the following command to setup
    #sh setupLinux_x64.bin -console -is:tempdir /3dm/

    continue the step as in previous step
    Before accessing thru web browser, edit 3dm2.conf and change RemoteAccess 1
    from 0 to 1
    #/etc/3dm2/3dm2.conf
    Now access the file…….
