For support on proprietary 3ware tools you need to ask 3ware support
really

Reported to Sun 8th March 2007, still not fixed, in fact they closed it
without fixing it for Java 6. Don't you love proprietary software vendors.

The following should temporarily fix it (by telling X to ignore the bug
and pray the software doesn't crash).
