3ware raid monitoring tool installation hangs up

Did your 3ware raidmonitoring software installation hangs up ever? I have had this situation a couple of times and I found a way to get it done (of course it’s not a fix, but worked for me multiple times).

I was trying to install combined 3DM2 and CLI available at http://3ware.com/support/download.asp. It hung up without finishing and I waited for hours without any luck. I have installed 3ware raidmon on so many machines before. So, I just connected to another session of that server and tried to install raidmonitoring tool again.

# /bin/bash setupLinux_x64.bin -console

As I guessed it ended up in an error, but surprisingly the installation process resumed from the older session.

what the hell causes such an issue? Umm…I don’t know and I don’t want to spend my time on such ridiculous stuffs.
