I just realized I missed something in the archives --                                                       
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2007-September/032925.html.                              
Basically, the same question. Ooops. :o)     

I was hoping the answer wasn't in OMSA, but I will try the LiveCD. For                                      
reference since I had to use Google to find it, the OMSA LiveCD is here:        

http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/                                                       

As stated on the main page, you would need OMSA 5.1 or later in order to                                    
manage PERC5.      

I'll give this a shot as soon as I get a chance and see if it works. It                                     
would still be nice to have a little cleaner (scriptable in a rescue CD                                     
or better yet, in the CTRL+R) way.    

If anyone has experience/caveats that I should be aware of doing things                                     
this way, feel free to shout them out. :o)          

thanks,
-nicole
