Dell originally released binary drivers to get RH to support the PERC arrays, and also released afaappss/afacli to interface with the arrays.) The unofficial Dell PERC/afaapps page is here, http://www.domsch.com/linux/ This post, http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/168/2002/2/0/7903628/ Indicates afacli will run under Linux emulation, so that may be an option.
