The key from my experience with the dell perc controllers is to make sure
you've got a driver that recognizes the controller.

 

I've had to make my own boot/install disks for just about every distribution
because they are not built into the standard boot images.

 

If you've got the controller recognized, it should be cake, but I haven't
ever hooked up that specific powervault so don't quote me..

Hey guys;

Does anyone here have any experience connecting a Dell DM1000 (powervault)
external storage array to a dell poweredge using the perc5/e card and centos
(or really any linux flavor)?

I'm interested in specifically any gotchas or conflicts you ran into.  Was
it pretty out of the box in terms of setting things up or did it just not
work at all? 

Any info anyone has would be great.

Thanks

Brad
