9. RAID Controller Supported Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and
Driver Versions
Starting with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage
Management Service is supported. The Storage Management Service allows you to configure and
manage your storage devices from within Server Administrator.
NOTE:
The Storage Management Service mentioned in this guide refers to the enhanced
Storage Management Service. Server Administrator no longer supports the basic Storage
Management Service (also known as Array Manager).
Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of
PERC cards, and some systems management releases also support CERC IDE and SATA controllers.
System administrators responsible for monitoring the compatibility of their systems' storage devices
need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller.
Each storage controller version in turn supports a specific array of elements, including:
• Version of the Storage Management Service
• Dell system
• Firmware version number required for a particular controller
• Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specific driver
For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell
OpenManage Server
Administrator User's Guide
and the
Dell OpenManage Storage Management User's Guide
at
support.dell.com/manuals
.
The following types of controllers are included in this section:
• The RAID controller card group contains the following controllers: PERC 5/E,
PERC 5/i Adapter, PERC 5/i Integrated, SAS 5/iR Adapter, SAS 6/iR Integrated, PERC 6/E
Adapter, PERC 6/i Adapter, PERC 6/i Integrated, PERC H200 Adapter, PERC H200 Integrated,
PERC H200 Modular, PERC H700, PERC H800, SAS 6/iR Adapter, and CERC 6/i Integrated.
• The SAS 5/i Integrated and SAS 5/E controller.
NOTE:
The firmware and drivers listed in this section refer to the minimum supported version
as of the publication date of this document. Later versions of the firmware and drivers may also
be supported or required. For the most recent driver and firmware requirements, see
support.dell.com
for the Storage Management Service.
Linux Driver Included in RPM*
