dellmgr on Debian Sarge ?

[eclark]

We run dellmgr on some of our raid boxes (all rh/rhes). You could always 
rpm2cpio the dellmgr rpm and go from there. I would figure that the software 
should be pretty portable between linuxes once you get it unpacked, but I 
have never tried.

Once unpacked, you get:

dellmgr  dellmgr.bin

dellmgr is a shell script. The other is a stripped bin:

file dellmgr.bin
dellmgr.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
statically linked, stripped

Best of luck.
