PERCCLI Utility Support for Ubuntu 18.04

I need to run Ubuntu 18.04 on the R740XD the R740XD2. 

According to 

https://linux.dell.com/files/supportmatrix/Ubuntu_LTS_Support_Matrix.pdf

and

https://certification.ubuntu.com/server/models?vendors=Dell%20EMC

Both servers are compatible, but according to this, PERCLI is not 

https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=f48c2

It only reports support for SUSE and Red Hat

Is there a version of PERCCLI that supports UB18.04?

 - If so, how can I obtain it?

 - If not, what are my alternatives? I'm moving my application from a system with an LSI controller, and we use MegaRAID cli to obtain useful information about RAID status and configuration. I'm not looking forward to reimplementing this from system calls.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,

 

I found another version of the LINUX PERCCLI Utility For All Dell HBA/PERC Controllers:

Herein shows also Ubuntu as a supported operating system.

Thank you! It does say 16.04 (not 18.04), but this points me in the right direction, and I'm  hopeful this will just work

I know, but I guess it will work.
