Install OpenManage Server Administrator (minimally, choose CLI and
Storage if you don't want to install diags, webserver, etc.), and use
"omreport storage".

Server Admin Download:

'omreport storage' docs:

storage.htm

You may also be try to find/use "megacli" on LSILogic's website, but
Dell will not provide support for it, so I would suggest Server
Administrator's storage management for the PERC4 and PERC5 controllers.
