You'd need some sort of driver; I think Dell support Linux on their servers (Well, Redhat anyway), so if you bought it from them it might be worth asking their Tech people or checking their website ...

At the bottom it pointed me to:

HTH...

yes, thanks! the megaraid sas driver was already compiled in the kernel. the problem was that the megacli is only availiable as rpm as i see. i hoped to find the src-code. without success. so i emerged rpm , wrote a little watch-script and everything works like a charme.

next issue would be to monitor the redudant power supplies...
