A wide assortment of caching policies for logical drives, variable stripe sizing, and adjustable task rates enable administrators to quickly and easily modify their storage arrays to meet enterprise requirements. Dell SAS RSM is supported for the following operating
systems:
• Microsoft Windows® 2000
• 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP
• 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5

Installing Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager
Dell SAS RSM is preinstalled as a stand-alone application on Dell PowerEdge SC servers and Dell Precision workstations that support the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) 5/i and the SAS 5/iR adapter. If administrators need to install or reinstall Dell SAS RSM on a system running a Windows OS, they can locate the executable file on the Dell OpenManage™ Server Assistant CD provided with the system or download the file from support.dell.com, then run it and complete the installation wizard. Once the installation completes, administrators can launch the application by selecting Start>Programs>Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager.

To install Dell SAS RSM on systems running a Linux OS, administrators should first copy the SSM_Linux_Installer-versionnumber.tar.gz file to a temporary directory, then un-tar this file using the following command: tar –zxvf SSM_Linux_Installer-versionnumber.tar.gz

This command creates a new disk directory. Administrators should go to this new disk directory and enter the command ./install.sh. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, they can then launch the application by selecting Applications>System Tools>Dell SAS RAID Storage
