[SOLVED] 3ware RAID maintenance with tw_cli?
« on: September 21, 2012, 11:48:16 AM »
Hello Forum!

I am using 3ware's tw_cli utility to monitor the status of the raid controller on an old suse 10.2 server. I have unpacked the original tw_cli-linux-x86-9.5.3.tgz archive on our new TC box but can't run the tw_cli binary. Does TC need an extension to execute binaries?

As always, thank you very much for your help!

Hi suxi
You need to provide more information than that. What happens when you run  tw_cli info

Hi Rich

Thank you for helping me on all those issues. Your help is greatly appreciated!

When I enter tw_cli in a terminal window (as I can do on our suse server) I get  the following error:

-sh: tw_cli: not found

Hey, I just figured it out, I need to use an absolute path!

You can do:
"ln -s /path/to/tw_cli /home/tc/.local/bin/"
