I just did a round of HP patches to my DL series servers. In doing so
I went to the HP site and installed the Support Pack RPMs. This
provide a load of tool including the Compaq RAID utility (cqpacuex).
However these tools run as daemons so if you want a small footprint,
this might not be the way for you. The tools do provide a web-based
dignostics utility which also allows you to configure the host array
or in my case, the fibre attached storage arrays.
In the past I have had to change the name in the /etc/*release file to
RedHat to install HP stuff. I can't remember if I had to do that this
time!
