[WBEL-users] WB crash and Dell OMSA

[Karl-König Königsson]

I have used the standard megaraid drivers; seems to work OK with my setup.

I have three 36 GB SCSI drives configured as a RAID 5 device using the 
built in RAID controller which I have the subsequently partitioned as 
part of the WBEL installation. I also have an extra SCSI card to connect 
the external tape device to the computer; the recommendation from the 
Dell technician whom I spoke to prior to purchase recommended this 
sollution in favour of connecting the tape drive to the built in SCSI card.

Cheers!
