RAID Controller Software for the Dell PERC 6/i RAID Card

Problem

You have purchased a Dell PERC 6/i RAID Card separately, and are using it in a non-Dell server, so you cannot use the Dell Management software to manage the card.

Solution

The Dell PERC 6/i RAID Card is just a rebadged LSI MegaRAID card, so download and install the latest version of LSI’s MegaRAID Storage Manager software – currently on version 12.05.03.00:

For other software – like VIBs for VMware ESXi, look under the Support & Downloads section here:

Once installed, you can set up Alerts from the Tools > Monitor Configure Alerts menu:
