I have just installed 5.3-RELEASE on an IBM eServer series x330 with the =
primary ATA controller being an Esclade 7006-2 with two drives in a RAID =
1 array.  I configured the array with the BIOS utilities, and when =
installing 5.3 from the CD, it recognizes the array on the twe driver =
and everything seems to be working.

I have downloaded the CLI util and the 3dm2 web interface from 3ware.com =
and have been trouble getting them to work.  So far, it appears that the =
CLI seems to be working, although it has been reporting some strange =
errors, not on the array itself, but on the commands I have been =
testing.  As for the 3dm2 web interface, I can't seem to get anything =
working there.

My question is mainly on the driver though.  Which should I use?  The =
twe driver seems to be working as far as I have tested, but do I need =
the driver downloaded from 3ware to get 3dm2 and the CLI to work?  If =
so, what is the best way to install the driver as I am using this array =
as the boot disk?

Also, can anybody give me some hints and tips on using the 3ware card =
from experience?

Thanks,

Justin
