Support Matrix

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 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 dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
