PERC6 administration

Hi, 

You should be able to use the new MegaCLI which you can find on the link
below.

And Moritz Mertinkat has been so kind to create a cheat sheet for PERC
5/i + MegaCLI you can take a look at.

Hello

Is there a menu-based administration software for Perc6 series raid 
controllers? Like the good old dellmgr/megamgr for Perc4.

Or do I need to use omconfig command-line based utility?

How do you administer Perc5/6 controllers in linux?

Other related question: if I add another (say) raid-5 virtual disk on 
the fly, do I need to reboot the linux (or rmmod/modprobe the raid 
module) in order the disk to show up in linux? Or is there a way to 
refresh disk table on the fly?

I'm using (mostly) debian 4.0.

Thanks
