Perc 5/i Management

Hi,
 
I have a new PE 2900 w/ a Perc 5/i controller. How can I manage / modify the Perc from within Windows 2003? I installed Open Management which seems to have a web based interface. Is this the only option? Is there a MMC snap in or other non web option?
 
Thanks,
Jonathan

    Thats good that you have OMSA installed. You need to install storage management that is a component of OMSA. Just go into add/remove programs and do a modify on server admin. Make sure storage management is checked for installation on the components list.

    Yes, I installed OMSA / Storage Management. This seems to have only a web based utility. Is there a way to manage Perc other than the web utility?
    thanks,

    The only other way to manage the perc is in the perc bios. During POST hit Ctrl/R when you see the option on the screen. You can follow some of the videos in the link below on the perc bios.

    Actually, you can use the CLI to manage the PERC controller.  Check the chapter on Using the Storage Management Service in the OMSA CLI documentation:
