Hi all,

Maybe slightly off-topic, but asking anyway.
We installed ESXi 4.0 on a refurbished PE2850 with a PERC4e/di with 6x73Gb 
disks in RAID5 for light lab virtualization duties.
We used the ESXi 4.0 installer with Dell customisations, installed OpenManage 
via VMware vCLI, and the "health status" in vsphere client shows all the bits 
of the hardware nicely, but not the PERC, even though it's recognized and 
useable as a datastore.

After configuring SNMP traps in ESXi, we tried pulling a power cable, and got 
the traps we expected, but pulling a live disk out of the raid array did not do 
anything except start the "Blinking Amber Light of Trouble(tm)" on the server 
front. No status change in vsphere client either.

Thanks for any hints/clues,

Kind regards,
