Linux OMSA on PE1850 + PERC4/Di - no controllers

[Marcus Bointon]

Hi,

I'm fairly certain I have a problem with a drive on my PE 1850, so  
I've been trying to look at it with omreport. I'm running the current  
dellomsa 5.1 package from sara.nl on Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS. omreport  
shows all kinds of system info - CPU, PSU etc, but when asked about  
controllers it returns nothing, so I have no chance of looking at the  
disks. I've installed it on a more recent PE server (with PERC5/i)  
and it reports the controllers on there with no problem.

dmesg reports this hardware:

[17179571.028000] megaraid cmm: 2.20.2.6 (Release Date: Mon Mar 7  
00:01:03 EST 2005)

[17179571.056000] scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID driver

Apparently this is a PERC 4/Di controller.

I have 2 36Gb SCSI Ultra320 drives arranged as RAID1.

Does OMSA need some additional driver package to enable access to the  
controller? Or is there something else I need to do? I've seen others  
report the same problem in the archives but I've not found any  
solutions.

I have a 4-hour support contract from Dell, but they have simply not  
responded to emails I've sent, and it's really unclear how I'm  
supposed to take up their support services on their site. I just hope  
someone on here can help...
