CLI Management and health check of Perc controllers on RHEL4 without daemons or kernel mods.

I am looking for a list of the essential binaries/rpm's 
needed to view the status of and build raid volumes within 
the various Perc cards.

My servers are 2650's, 1850's, 2850's and soon to be 
2950's.  My controllers are 3/Di, 3/DC and 4/Di.
  
Installing anything that starts a daemon, inserts kernel 
modules or in any way taints the OS install or startup 
order will not be an option.
  
Is there a URL that identifies the software needed to 
perform these real time functions on Dell Perc 
controllers?  Everything I have found on Dell.com suggests 
installing management software that runs as a daemon.

I only need to manage the controller from the command line 
and also be able to run a command to get a one time quick 
status of the volume(s) health.
  
All of my servers are RHEL4 or CentOS4 on the latest 
kernel.


Thanks,

Aaron
