Dell openmanage , Redhat and Perc6i question

[Abhishek Lahiri]

Hi,

We have got a bunch of Dell 1950 and 2950 servers to install RHEL AS4 for
CRM application. I have a few questions regarding how to set up the new
servers:

1) I am planning to kickstart the servers with RHEL AS4U4. I am wondering if
I can do this or I have to take into consideration anything specific to Dell
Hardware? Specifically what are the Dell specific packages I need to install
for monitoring. I just need to be able to get alerts in case of any hardware
failure.

2) The servers have perc6i integrated SAS controllers and quad ethernet
cards. Will the redhat iso images available from RHN be able to take care of
these or I need to get the drivers seperately from Dell site.

3) If I have to get the drivers seperately is it possible to still kickstart
the servers and install the drivers?

Any pointers/suggestions to these questions will be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
Alex
