Dell has not validated SP2 for Netware 6.5 yet, so I do not know what kind of problems you might have with Dell Open Manage. The latest version of Open Manage is version 3.8. It contains Server Administrator 1.8 and Array Manager 3.5, but it has only been validated with SP1.1 for Netware 6.5.
My problem is the QLOGIC card that controls the PowerVault 630Fs (I have 5 of these). The software is not bringing the QLOGIC card up in the ArrayManager. The software is only bringing up the PERC2 card in the ArrayManager. The PERC2 card is being used for the internal RAID for the SYS volume. The QLOGIC is the controlling card for the PowerVault 630Fs. I need to know how to reconfigure the software so that it will pick up the QLOGIC so that I can see the arrays and manage them.
I have loaded the 3.8 version CD and am able to get into the server via the web and see all the cards (PERC2 and Qlogic) but once again only the PERC2 is showing up with the internal array. It shows no arrays configured on the Qlogic but there are and there is a Netware 5.1 server using these arrays.

Dell Open Manage Array Manager does not support the QLogic cards. For assistance managing your PV650f, please call into support for Dell storage at (800) 822-8965
I called Dell Tech Support early last week since it didn't look like I was getting info I needed. They told me that ArrayManager and Server Manager is not for Qlogic cards and 630F PowerVaults with Netware 6.5 and that I needed Managed Node Agent and Managed Node Station in order to access the PowerVaults via the Qlogic card. We are in the process of trying to buy these 2 packages from Dell since we cannot download them.
