[ale] Dell Perc RAID Controller

[Jeff Lightner]

You can install the Dell OpenManage software then open the OpenManage
page by pointing your browser at https://<hostname>:1311.

 

I've used the OpenManage to swap out drives for PERC when they've failed
but not to actually build RAID or add to RAID so I'm not sure it allows
for it but it may.  There may be information on how to use it for that
on Dell's support site.

Our OS and apps are running on the system now, and we added new drives
that we need to configure for RAID. I know that this can be done with
3ware controllers.

I used to install red hat on servers with Perc 5 controllers. They would
configure Raid via the Bios, then I would load redhat, pointing it
to /dev/hda ( sda..) for partitioning. maybe we are talking hardware vs
software raid, unfortunately I'm not a raid guru :)
