Management Applications For Shared PERC 8 Card

The Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC) enables you to:

•Configure the shared RAID system

•Create and manage multiple disk groups

•Control and monitor multiple RAID systems

•Provide online maintenance through a web interface or Command Line Interface (CLI)

NOTE: Dell OpenManage Storage Management, BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl> <L>), or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) RAID Configuration Utility does not support the Shared PERC 8 and may only be used to manage non-shared PERC cards. For non-shared PERC cards, see the system-specific PERC User's Guide at dell.com/storagecontrollermanuals.

For more information on the CMC web interface or CLI commands available for Shared PERC 8, see the Dell Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User’s Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

NOTE: Ensure that all the software components are upgraded to the latest versions. For information on the latest supported firmware and driver versions, see the Drivers and Downloads link on dell.com/support/drivers for your system.
