minimal open manage server admin

[Josephus]

Hi,

Could DTK be used to recreate the Utility partition?
I never got the chance to see what is really on the utility partition 
before I wiped the raid.
Are there any raid management utils on it? Currently I have to use OMSA 
LiveCD to manage raid arrays as I'm using VmWare ESXi.

thanks
