I managed to install afacli from afaapps on a 2850 running sarge by hand
with sufficiently little difficulty that I can't remember anything about
it :-)
Possibly this page or the links on it might be of use:

afaapps_2.6-3_i386.deb from http://www.brandl.net/pe2550/ works for me
on the etch kernel. Also, the kernel logs any problems that appear, so
logcheck will do for healh monitoring.

Are you sure that this tool works with PERC 5/i?! I think it was written
for older version PERC controllers or I am typing wrong command in? :(
What command checks for raid status?

Oops, I checked properly now, and you are probably right. I have a
different controller :-/
Sorry for the confusion.

Add deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell sara to /etc/apt/
sources.list and apt-get install dellomsa. This will get you the Dell
monitoringtools; the omreport-tool will get you all sorts of info on
the raidcontroller:
----
/opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/bin/omreport storage -?
omreport Reports component properties.
The available command(s) are:
Command Description
adisk Display array disk(s) properties. DEPRECATED: please
use pdisk
pdisk Display physical disk(s) properties.
vdisk Display virtual disk(s) properties.
controller Display controller(s) properties.
enclosure Display enclosure properties.
channel Display channel properties. DEPRECATED: please use
connector
battery Display battery properties.
globalinfo Display global storage properties.
connector Display connector properties.
----
Apart from that omreport will also give you information on fan
speeds, temperature, installed hardware, etc. It also installs an
SNMP agent that allows you to monitor RAID status, fan speeds,
temperature, etc via SNMP. The SNMP agent is disabled by default, but
is easy to setup. We use this both for monitoring and to graph fan
speeds and temperature with cacit.

This is not normal. I’m using dellomsa in this version on different Dell
PE1950 and PE2950 systems (AMD64) without problems. You don’t see, what
problems there are. You could dig through
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dellomsa.postinst to see what it does.
From my experience you need the following kernel options:
# IPMI
CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT=y
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING=y
CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m
CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m
CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m
CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m
It wouldn’t work compiled into the kernel, they need to be modules.
And Dell kernel options:
CONFIG_DELL_RBU=m
CONFIG_DCDBAS=m
must be modules as well (they are not really needed for OMSA).
Shade and sweet water!

Hello,
These packages look very intersting but I'm still using Sarge (kmuto.jp kernel) on my Poweredge boxes.
Do you know if this repository will work on Sarge?
Thank you.

As I wrote, I'm using Kenshi MUTO's custom kernel ( http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ ).
It provides 2.6.20 kernels for Sarge.
By the way, Maarten gave me this link, it may help someone besides me.
