Question on new Perc 4/DC and RH AS 2.1

[Patrick_Boyd at Dell.com]

1) Should you use the Dell provided driver or the built in? Depends on
if you want support from Dell or RedHat for the storeage components. If
you want support from Dell then load the Dell drivers.

2) OM will not see the device until the driver is loaded.

Subject: Question on new Perc 4/DC and RH AS 2.1

Hi...

  I put a PERC 4/DC controller in a 2650 today and hooked it up to a
PV220s.  The host is RH AS V2.1.  Do I need to load the DELL
megaraid2 driver from support.dell.com, or can I use the one from RH
that I can load with insmod megaraid2?

   Also, OM on the localhost is not showing that PERC card - is it
correct to assume that it won't until I first load the module and Linux
can see it?

    Thanks...
