Hi John, great to hear that! I just checked out mptutil on 7.0 and it works fine with a bunch of Dell PERC 5iR :) Do you mind if i grab the sources and create a port of it? I guess many people are eagerly waiting to monitor their mpt arrays as stated on several lists. This would also give mptutil a much greater base of testers. Best regards Patrick
