Support Matrix

RAID and non-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 Server Administrator Storage

Management User's Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
