Hi,

I'm haveing amd64 sarge installed on ibm server which has serveraid 7k controller with scsi disks.

there's ipssend binaries on cd, but
1) both are 32 bit:
/cdrom/linux/scsi/cmdline/ipssend
/cdrom/linux_x86_64/scsi/cmdline/ipssend

# file /cdrom/linux*/scsi/cmdline/*
/cdrom/linux/scsi/cmdline/ipssend:        ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Anyway, I've searched ibm-s web ang used google but still havent found a solution
how to manage/view raid array (with serveraid 7k) on amd64 sarge..
Is there statically linked tool by ibm?
is there source for ipssend by ibm?
is there any production level opensource tool for this card?

thanks..
